STRONG SACTOWN

Strong SacTown is a community group focused on enriching and improving the livability of Sacramento, CA for all neighbors.

Incremental & Mixed-Use Neighborhoods

End Highway Expansion

Widening highways doesn’t fix congestion — it makes it worse. Let’s invest in safer streets and stronger neighborhoods instead.

Instead of customers buying their food and leaving the market, they could sit…


  • Parking Benefit Districts

    Parking Benefit Districts

    Paid parking can solve congestion and fund neighborhood improvements. When revenue stays local and benefits are visible, paid parking can also be politically popular.
