To be clear, my main interest in the initial proposal was that by approaching SVS from the west it would allow the new line to extend in Sac in the future vs. terminating at SVS.
I liked the original alignment personally, but glad the new one will at least be faster.

Sacramento Regional Transit is asking the public to weigh in on its latest plans for the long-proposed Downtown Riverfront Streetcar Project.

Anyone know if there's work in the CA legislature on providing direct funds for the 2050 CA State Rail Plan? Or is it just expected to get funding through Caltrans?
Perchance.
Only in Sacramento do you have a crowd this loud with a team that’s been so bad. We just want competitive basketball!
Really recommend this episode to understand how utterly dumb the current American energy policy is, but how positive the forecast is for solar specifically.
One more thing to add with this is the projected 40-year tax revenue generation:
1/4 cent = $5 billion
1/2 cent = $10 bill
*1 cent = $20 bill
*Not under consideration by this measure, but I wish it was. If it were, this measure would provide ~$500 million extra to SacRT every year for 40 years!
(The 1/4 cent is basically maintaining the current plan with a little extra.)
For reference, the tax plan they are preparing for is 1/2 cent measure. LA's Measure M was for a full cent measure.
I really wish Sac was going for the full cent. I think the 1/2 cent will go a long way in making public transit more viable across the region, but a full cent would be transformative.
Also, the Downtown Streetcar Project was not mentioned at all, which I found a little odd?
They didn't talk much about light rail, but did say some of the LRT projects were competitive without specifying which one(s) they were referencing.
Some of the notable projects would be: late night service, 30 min headways 7 days a week on all bus lines, multiple BRT routes, new service routes, and just maintaining/updating current stock.
SacRT is currently creating their long/short-term plans for the region based on a measure that will be on the ballot in 2026 for a 1/4 cent or 1/2 cent sales tax.
Here's their presentation on what they are looking at:

Can we get this started in Sacramento?
There are so many unused/underused parking lots across the city.
The Kings are the worst offense and second worst defense with the 5th oldest roster and the 2nd highest average age by minutes.
We're old and bad and play our old-bad players a lot.
Blow it up.
I want to talk about how this corrosive view of automobility and cities relates to decades of failure on transit policy.
Dems need to be talking about how "clean energy is the cheapest form of energy" at every chance they have and that they are also the only ones willing to build it.
And Man U comes right back and takes the lead back on a header from Maguire
Liverpool finally evens it up on a scrambled play that somehow ends up on Gakpo's foot
Salah with his best chance yet and just shanks it
Man, another strike off the post for Gakpo
Another great through ball this time to Isak, but Lammens comes up with the foot save.
Liverpool has dominated possession since the first goal but can't put it away.
What a pass and shot from Liverpool. Off the side post.
Liverpool maybe got like 2 touches on the ball before Man U scores?
Wild start
This is the way.
