Ring in New Year Safely
Got plans for the New Year? Hopefully, drinking & driving isn't one of them. Instead of worrying about accidents and DUI checkpoints, you can always get a free ride home from a number of "safe rides" programs in the area, or designate a driver to keep the streets safe.

Dam Bridge May Be Delayed Until 2008
With new flood control strategies in place in Sacramento, a new environmental study will need to be assessed - which means a delay in construction in a Folsom Dam replacement bridge. Our representatives are still pushing back, however nothing is certain. Story in the Bee.Labels: Folsom Dam Bridge, Folsom Lake Crossing
Importing Transients?
The trickling effects of light rail are starting to appear. Residents (and homeless) have noticed a rise in the homeless population since light rail has come to town... will they stay? It appears that police presence and Folsom's homeless shelter are not keen on the prospect of chronic homelessness and loitering in city limits. More in the Bee.Labels: Folsom Police, Light Rail

Old Folsom Needs a Slogan
Got a catchy phrase that symbolizes Old Folsom? It could win you a free brunch at Balcony Bistro. Old Folsom is going through a revitalization, and needs a slogan that will help personify the history and natural beauty of the area. Email wcac9800@sbcglobal.net with your suggestions!

Here Comes Santa Claus...
Folsom may be growing, but some of the small-tarm charm of the city is still prevalent with events such as Santa's Sleigh. Santa will be escorted by Folsom Firefighters and Policemen over the next week, as he visits the various neighborhoods in Folsom. The Sleigh will run from Thursday until Tuesday. For the full schedule, please see the Folsom Calendar.

Time to Pay Up
Effective January 1, Folsom will begin metering water usage within the city. The meters are part of the city's efforts to meter the entire city by 2013, which is the state law. Residents in affected areas may see their water bills triple in the hot summer months. Story in the Bee.Labels: future, taxes, water meters

Here Come the Planes
With increased commerce comes traffic. So the story goes with Mather Airport, which may be an integral cog in Sacramento's bid to become an international cargo hub. Unfortunately for Folsom residents, flights go right over the city, which rattles more than windows. Story in the Bee.

Pony Express Rides Again
Your Christmas cards will truly be unique to many this year if it's been on the Pony Express. The California Division of the National Pony Express Foundation will have a Christmas card ride on December 10. Cards need to be dropped off at the Folsom History Museum by Tuesday in order to be on the route. All cards will have a special "Day of the Horse" stamp on it as well.
