Downtown Riverfront Streetcar Project

The Sacramento Downtown Riverfront Streetcar Project (‘DRSP’ or the ‘Project’) will be a 1.8-mile service between West Sacramento and downtown Sacramento. The Project route would travel within public roadways from its western terminus at Sutter Health Park, cross the Tower Bridge that spans the Sacramento River, turn south at 3rd Street and Capitol Mall to N Street, where the alignment would turn east to 7th and 8th Streets and connect to SacRT’s existing light rail tracks on these streets. The Streetcar would use the light rail tracks on 7th Street to travel south from the eastern terminus, across the street from the historical Southern Pacific Railroad Depot) to head toward Sutter Health Park; the streetcars would use the light rail tracks on 8th Street to travel north from Sutter Health Park toward the eastern terminus. At 7th and 8th Streets, the Project would continue along SacRT’s existing light rail tracks on H Street to the route’s eastern terminus near the historical Southern Pacific Railroad Depot where passengers could connect to Amtrak passenger trains and short- and long-haul bus routes. Three new stations would be constructed: West Sacramento/Bridge District Station at Sutter Health Park; 2nd & Capitol Station serving Old Sacramento; and N Street, serving high-intensity office and residential uses in Downtown Sacramento.
