District Boundaries Redrawn
With the explosive growth of Folsom and overcrowding of our schools, some children were forced to go to schools that were much farther than the closest school to them. Parkway II residents have been going to Theodore Judah, even when closer schools are just down the street. The school district was forced to re-draw district lines. Story in the Bee.Labels: schools

Nisenan Park Draws Opposition
While Folsom draws plans for a new park in the Empire Ranch area, many Folsom residents are concerned about destroying its current state. Naturally-occurring asbestos, prehistoric artifacts, and a few raptor nests further complicate the issues. A basketball court, volleyball court, and baseball field are all proposed in the new park area.. Story in the Folsom Telegraph.Labels: asbestos

Apartment Conversions Spark Debate

Cool Off at Folsom Lake
A wet spring and rising temperatures equates to a lake full of water... and people. Since a few of the parking lots are under water, some people have had to be turned away at Folsom Lake, as there is not enough room for everyone. Every weekend, about 1,400 boats visit the lake. Story in The Sacramento Bee.

Annexation Gets Green Light
Folsom City Council unanimously approved a plan to apply for annexing land south of US 50. About 10,000 new jobs would likely be created due to the growth, and Folsom would increase by about 25%. If approved, it would likely be up to 10 years before development begins. More in The TelegraphLabels: Folsom City Council, South of 50
