The Curtis Park neighborhood association is going to be actively working on the new Village's environmental and project review. This future neighborhood is located in the area east of Sacramento City College. Petrovich Development (ominous creators of a bazillion Rite Aids all over Sacramento, and the developer who brought us the Safeway with the big silver horse in front on 19th & S).
I really hope the CPNA takes control and really makes a neighborhood that matches the current beautiful architectural aesthetic that makes Curtis Park highly desirable. As evidenced by the picture below, the new area will look Natomas-like without trees. Here's hoping the Tree Foundation is involved! Plus, if retail is being added - (and my proximate South Land Park neighborhood will also appreciate a grocery store) - HAS to be walking-friendly.
