Brief description of project: 
Design and construction of an initial streetcar line with stations at Civic Center, Garden Street, and Raley Field on the West Sacramento side, and extending across the Tower Bridge to downtown Sacramento.   The Final Environmental impact Report for the project was certified in June 2009.  Preliminary engineering, including a variety of technical studies, was completed in early 2009 and a preliminary financing plan was outlined. 

Future phases of the streetcar network could include a north/South line serving the Bridge District development area.
