The City of Folsom has released a draft Central Business District Vision Plan that signifies a future roadmap for the area stretching along East Bidwell Street to Riley Street. According to

the city’s announcement

, the vicinity canvassed in the plan spans from Sutter Middle School to Blue Ravine Road and encompasses significant city properties such as the Steve Miklos Aquatic Center and Lembi Park.

With a unanimous nod from the Planning Commission, this vision plan emerges from the collective year-long work of the Citizens Advisory Committee. In its planning efforts, the committee has avoided suggesting any immediate land use overhauls or launching specific development projects. Instead, the plan proposes a series of potential improvements, both public and private, intended to rejuvenate the district, to be implemented as funding allows. The Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed the plan on Tuesday, adding another layer of consideration before the council’s review.

Folsom residents and stakeholders have an opportunity to engage during the upcoming City Council meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, November 12, at 6:30 p.m. The meeting, aimed at discussing the plan’s scope and implications, will be held in the Council Chambers at Folsom City Hall, located at 50 Natoma Street. City officials and citizens alike are eager to delve into the specifics of the proposed plan and explore its alignment with the community’s shared values and envisioned development trajectory.

For those interested in reviewing the draft Central Business District Vision Plan ahead of the City Council meeting, it is available online. Further details and queries about the project can be directed to Kathy Pease, City of Folsom planning consultant, at 916-812-0749 or via email at
