Public Works for You
Folsom Boulevard Fence Replacement Project:
In November, the City completed the Folsom Boulevard Fence Replacement P
roject at the entrance to the Walnut Wood neighborhood. This project replaced existing fence along Folsom Boulevard with a new masonry wall and included the installation of two artistic murals. The project beautifies a main entrance to the Walnut Wood neighborhood, as well as a main corridor used frequently by pedestrians, cyclists and
drivers. One mural was designed by Sid Wellman and the other mural
was designed
by Cathy Rowe to showcase the Lincoln Highway, one of the earliest transcontinental
highways for automobiles across the country. Folsom Boulevard was part of the Lincoln
Highway. This project was funded by a $316,000 grant from the City's Community
Enhancement Fund.
Directional Signage Project:
In November, the City installed new directional signage on main corridors throughout Rancho Cordova. The signage directs pedestrians, bikers and drivers to main points of interest in the City, such as Hagan Park, Rancho Cordova City Hall and the Sacramento Children's Museum. This project was funded by a $100,000 grant from the City's Community Enhancement Fund.
Information on other current projects is available on the
City's website

Christmas in Cordova
Rancho Cordova's 7th annual Christmas in Cordova is approaching fast and is set to return on December 16th. The event, organized by the Rancho Cordova Police Department, will focus on supporting over 400 local families and 800 children with a "shopping mall" filled with new toys for parents to pick out and wrap for their children, at no cost. This holiday event also includes an arts and crafts area for children to make gifts for their parents, meals for families in attendance, and a surprise visit from Santa.
The City is looking for volunteers and unwrapped toy donations to make this year's Christmas in Cordova truly something to remember.
