Sac region does well on ATP grants

The California Transportation Commission (CTC) adopted the staff recommendations for funding Active Tranportation Program (ATP) grant applications. The Sacramento region did well, with seven grants awarded. Sacramento County received two, City of Sacramento two, Rancho Cordova one, West Sacramento one, and Placerville one. More detailed descriptions of these projects will be available on the CTC ATP or Caltrans websites.

CTC ATP awards for Sacramento region

The SACOG announcements will be made later, and there may be additional projects awarded that did not make the state-level cutoff of 89/100.

Sacramento Population Density

I ran across a neat website, Social Explorer, which presents census data over time. I made a quick gallery for census tract data from 1950 through 2010 for the Sacramento region, and it is below. Before 1950, data is available only by county, not by census tract. I’ll be exploring this tool more in the future.
