New Water Meters Causing a Stir
The Folsom City Council has given the green light on putting an initiative on November's ballot over water meters. The center of the controversy is how much will residents pay - misleading wording and accusations of not being impartial are what have a few residents miffed. Mayor Starsky claims it is "impartial and fair". More details are in the Sacramento Bee.

Dam Bridge Gets Federal Funding
Progress is being made for clearing construction of a new bridge, to replace the Folsom Dam Road bridge that currently spans over Folsom Dam. Due to traffic, security concerns and the possible heightening of the dam, a new bridge would be necessary. The biggest roadblock was who would pay for it - the House was split between full federal government funding or partial Folsom resident funding. Federal funding has been passed, however, by a 16-14 vote. Check out the full article in the Bee.

Will Folsom House a Light Rail Yard?
The progression of light-rail to the city of Folsom poses a new question: Where to put the rail yard. This poses an interesting dilemma, as Rancho Cordova is concerned with housing it in their business park area, since residents may be concerned with a rail yard's image. The former Mine Shaft has been tossed around as an idea, and administrators are being asked to look in to the city of Folsom as a possibility as well. So far, across from the auto mall has been the only location mentioned. More information is available in the Sacramento Bee.

Dog Park Expected Soon in Folsom
The Folsom Parks District is expected to have a new off-leash dog park some time in the near future. Although last year's plan for a dog park in the Prairie Oaks area was ultimately dismissed, a new dog park is planned in Livermare Park off of Riley Street. It's also possible to have a new dog park in the Empire Ranch area once it is built out. Folsom is one of a few communities in the Sacramento area that still does not have an off-leash dog park. More information is available in the Sacramento Bee.Labels: dog park, dogs, FIDO
