Old Sacramento Takes Action Against Violence | Sacramento News
Description
Sacramento’s historic waterfront is getting a safety overhaul as police and local business leaders team up to crack down on violence and traffic chaos. Starting this week, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights after 10 p.m., cars are banned west of Second Street — turning Front Street and Firehouse Alley into pedestrian-only zones. The move follows recent shootings and stabbings, including a June incident that left an 18-year-old wounded. More officers and patrol cars will be visible at key spots, aiming to boost safety and curb crime. Local business owners, like Chase Garibaldi of Blueprint Coffee, are optimistic — praising improved lighting and visibility — and hope these changes will make Old Sacramento feel safer and more welcoming for visitors. No end date is set yet; officials will monitor results and adapt as needed.
