Sacramento Docks Area Concept Plan

An outgrowth of our larger plan for the Sacramento riverfront, the plan for this new residential neighborhood in the former Docks Area represents the largest development opportunity on the southern Sacramento riverfront. The plan proposes a high-density neighborhood, organized within a grid of streets and blocks that will relate the new 3,000-unit development to the existing urban fabric. Integration of development with open space is designed to offer benefits both experiential and environmental. The existing Riverfront Promenade provides pedestrian access to a series of new parks and public open spaces that accommodate recreation, mitigate stormwater run-off and enhance habitat. Two new bridges across the river have been proposed: one for pedestrians and bicycles, and another for vehicular traffic.
