Nov. 6th Security Task Force Meeting

Florin Road Feasibility Study Underway

The Florin Road Partnership (FRP) has teamed up with engineering consultant Wood Rodgers, Inc. on the Florin Road Utility Undergrounding Project feasibility study.

FRP advocated for many years to convince the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) and the City of Sacramento of the need for this project to improve both the aesthetics and accessibility of the Florin Road business corridor. A portion of the Partnership’s annual budget was set aside each year for the past several years in anticipation of this study.

Wood Rodgers will prepare the feasibility study for converting approximately 7600 linear feet of existing overhead electrical power delivery system, cable television and telephone fiber optic lines to underground. The proposed project is located on the north side of Florin Road between Tamoshanter Way and Franklin Boulevard.

The feasibility study will include the following:
1. An estimate of the capital costs of converting the overhead dry utilities to underground,
2. A conceptual alignment for converting these facilities to underground and their potential impact to the existing infrastructure and associated services,
3. An estimate of the right of way impact, time and resources to bury overhead lines,
4. Identification of potential additional costs to customers, the City of Sacramento, and other utilities that may be impacted by the project, and
5. Investigation of potential funding sources to cove the cost of undergrounding these dry utilities.

This proposed project is a potential catalyst for future streetscape improvements. However, no construction work will be done as part of the feasibility study.

For more information about the study, please contact Mark Rayback, project manager for Wood Rodgers, Inc. at 916-440-8131 or Larry Carr, executive director of the Florin Road Partnership, at 916-424-4230, ext. 2.

The South Sacramento community gathered at the Pannell Center on Saturday, March 22, 2014, for City Councilmember Bonnie Pannell’s District 8 Leadership Breakfast.

Attendees heard presentations that included the Entertainment Sports Complex, the police department, the public library, city finances, the drought, light rail, the Sacramento City Unified School District, and the Mack Road Property and Business Improvement District.

The Florin Road Partnership’s executive director, Larry Carr, reported on FRP’s recent projects, including:

- A business directory published in collaboration with the Stockton Boulevard Partnership and the Oak Park Business Association.

- The Small Business-Government Round Table attended by representatives from five south area business districts as well as local, state and national elected officials. Several recommendations for follow-up were developed at this event, including the promotion of foreign investment in South Sacramento and working with the media to ensure accurate crime reporting.

- The Partnership’s continued efforts to underground utility lines on Florin Road.

- The planned opening of a Walmart Neighborhood Market in the former Walmart store at Southgate Plaza.

- The possible return of Ross Dress for Less to Southgate Plaza.
