I’ve never understood how a few property owners near the Sacramento River made city and state officials think public safety means keeping people off the levee parkway.
For 50 years, the safety and security argument was a smokescreen—a stratagem to give exclusive parkway access to several dozen residents and lock out everyone else.
Now the ruse is dead. Mayor Kevin McCarty and the City Council are ready to finish the paved levee bike trail that links Freeport to Downtown and the American River Parkway.
The safety and security con job was obvious from the start, dating from the late 1970s. But nobody challenged it.

In 2010, Pocket nonprofit ACC Senior Services took over Meals on Wheels nutritional services from Sacramento County. Since then, the program has served about 7 million meals to 4,000 seniors.
Taking advantage of our farm-adjacent community, Meals on Wheels runs a Fresh Produce Program. Last year, seniors enjoyed almost 10,000 pounds of fruit and vegetables from nearby farmers.
