City holds open house to answer questions about construction to convert Freeport and 21^st streets from one-way to two-way

Sacramento residents are invited to an open house, Tuesday, June 26, to learn more about the construction activities and schedule for converting Freeport and 21^st streets from one-way to two-way.

Construction is scheduled to start in early August to return Freeport , from (Broadway to Vallejo Way) and 21^st Street (from 4^th Avenue to W Street) to two-way traffic. The streets had been two-way prior to 1974.

Restoring the streets to two-way will improve neighborhood livability for motorists and non-motorists by reducing travel speeds and improving access to neighborhoods, while enhancing the quality of life for area residents.

WHERE:        McClatchy High School , cafeteria

WHY:              Project team members will discuss what neighbors can expect during construction and

                        for review. Construction will start in early August and be completed by late fall,

                        weather permitting.
