Councilmember Caity Maple invites District 5 residents to speak up on streets and safety at July 22 town hall

Published on

Sacramento, California – Sacramento residents in District 5 will soon have a chance to bring their street-level concerns directly into the room, as Councilmember Caity Maple prepares to host a community town hall focused on local infrastructure, transportation and pedestrian safety.

The town hall is set to take place on July 22, from 6-7:30 PM.

The meeting will take place at La Familia’s Maple Neighborhood Center, where residents are being invited to ask questions, raise concerns and learn more about projects currently moving through the city. The event is aimed at people who want clearer information about what is happening in their neighborhoods, from road improvements to safer walking routes.

“Got questions about local infrastructure updates? Opinions about a specific crosswalk? Concerns? I want to hear them,” Maple said in the announcement for the town hall.

The focus is practical and close to home. For many residents, transportation issues are not abstract policy debates. They show up on the block where a child crosses the street, at the intersection where drivers move too fast, or along sidewalks where people want to feel safer walking to school, work, transit stops or nearby businesses.

Maple said the town hall will give residents a chance “to learn more about what the City is currently working on and get your questions answered.” The event is also expected to include updates on transportation and pedestrian safety, two issues that often draw strong feedback from neighborhoods across Sacramento.

The gathering is being organized for Sacramento City Council District 5 and is open to residents who want to better understand city work in their area or speak up about specific locations that need attention. Community members with concerns about crosswalks, street design, traffic safety or infrastructure updates are encouraged to attend.

Refreshments will be provided during the meeting.

Residents planning to participate are asked to RSVP through the District 5 town hall page at sacd5.com/townhall. The meeting is expected to serve as both an information session and a listening space, giving city officials a clearer view of what residents see every day on their own streets.
