NNTMA, in a partnership with the City of Sacramento, completed a new off-street, multi-use path. Located along the East Drainage Canal, this trail is an integral part of the overall connectivity plan for North Natomas and is the last leg of a four-mile project that connects Elkhorn Boulevard to Airport Road...which leads to the American River Bike Trail, and ultimately downtown Sacramento.

We completed a six-year long Connectivity Book of 45 projects including: the addition of pedestrian signals, lighting and crosswalks; curb and median cuts; bollard removal; and pathway improvements. Ultimately those wins were a result of strong advocacy and a fruitful partnership with the City. Stay tuned for more of both in 2016.

ADVOC AC Y

One of the ways that the NNTMA served the community was by advocating and highlighting solutions and issues that positively impacted our residents/businesses in the areas of transportation and sustainability. We supported construction of the Green Line to the Airport, increased and improved transit amenities and transportation infrastructure, and we ensured that North Natomas was acknowledged and recognized during the City’s continued planning and development.
