help plan for sacramento's future

Zoom in to your community, Sacramento!

Help the City of Sacramento plan for your Community Plan Area over the next 20 years.

Last summer, the Sacramento community helped identify local issues and opportunities in each of the 10 Community Plan Areas. Now, the Sacramento 2040 team has developed potential key strategies to address these opportunities and issues in your community plan area. From October 6 – 20, you can learn about these key strategies for topics including land use, mobility, housing, and parks access through a self-guided virtual workshop.

Big & Bold Citywide Strategies

You can learn about these strategies as they relate to six key topics by watching the videos linked below.

Online Community Questionnaire

From May 18 to June 26, the Sacramento 2040 team held a six-part online community questionnaire to present and obtain informed input from Sacramento residents. More than 1,130 households participated in the effort, providing more than 1,000 comments. Additionally, more than 45 students participated in a Student Rewards Program to promote the outreach opportunity with their peers and family members.

Pop-up Workshops

In February and March of 2020, the City of Sacramento hosted three (3) Pop-up workshops as part of the General Plan Update and Climate Action Plan. The Popup workshops were held to engage with the community, including disadvantaged neighborhoods, and collect feedback about key strategies for moving the citywide vision established in Phase 1 forward. The workshops took place at:

District 8 Community Meeting, February 29

District 7 Annual Tree Planting and Volunteer Day, February 29

Urban Land Institute "On My Block: Meadowview" Event, March 7

A summary of the pop-up workshops and all input obtained is available here.
