EARTH DAY- Citrus Heights

Mark your calendars..........  April 21

Citrus Heights Area 11 Neighborhood Association is hosting the Inaugural Earth Day-Citrus Heights, which will be held April 21st, at the Skycrest Elementary School in Citrus Heights.  (see attached for more information and application for sponsors/exhibitors)

The Earth Day event will be free to residents and is viewed as an educational experience and not a fund raiser.  The event will consist of “Green” exhibitors who will educate community members in methods of reducing their carbon footprint and lowering their energy bills.  Free seminars in sustainable living practices will also be available through-out the day in two classrooms. 

We have electric bikes and Performance Chevrolet will be bringing some electric cars. Exhibitors include: Sacramento Bee, City of Citrus Heights/Stock Ranch Reserve, Soil Born Farms and many more. The San Juan Unified School District is partnering with The Citrus Heights Green Team for a “Logo Contest”.  The K-8 students will participate in the contest and the winning logo will be featured on our Earth Day T-shirts and in our promotional flyers.  $100 Sponsors' logos will also be featured on our Earth Day T-Shirt!  Anchor Sponsors will be featured at top and more prominently on the T-shirt. 
We will have indoor and tented outdoor spaces that are described on the application.  (Indoor booths are sold out.) There will be live music and food!

Auburn Boulevard Construction Project - Business Community Coordination Meeting

Auburn Boulevard Complete Streets Revitalization Project
Business Community Coordination Meeting
Tuesday, January 17, 2012
11:00 a.m. in the Rusch Park Gymnasium
7801 Auburn Boulevard
Lunch will be provided.

(NOTE: this is a great opportunity for all residents to get involved and find out what has been done, what will be done, a chance to get your questions answered first hand and share your thoughts with city officials and the project team. Mark your calendar - it is next week.)  

For nearly a decade, the City has been working to rehabilitate the Auburn Boulevard Corridor. To date, the City has invested in significant improvements to Sylvan Corners and the development of The Boulevard Plan. The Boulevard Plan sets forth the concepts and goals for the renewal of the Auburn Boulevard Corridor and acts as a platform for the City's next investment project - the Auburn Boulevard Complete Streets Revitalization Project. This project will focus on three main categories: ADA and pedestrian accessibility, improvement of transportation functionality and aesthetic enhancements.

While the project has been under design and right-of-way acquisition for several years, funding has been secured and construction will begin in Spring 2012. In order to prepare for construction, the project team would like to invite all affected Auburn Boulevard property owners and businesses to a coordination meeting in order to discuss the project in further detail including the construction schedule, phasing of work, expected temporary impacts to businesses and detours.

In addition, the City will answer any questions you may have about the project. Lunch will be provided and we encourage representation from every affected business to establish lines of communication before construction commences. If you have any questions, please contact any member of the project team at (916) 725-2448.
