Stockton Boulevard Redevelopment Area |
|
| For over 100 years, Stockton Boulevard was a major transportation artery, linking the old town area of the City of Sacramento to the City of Stockton. This function of the boulevard ended in the early 1960s when State Highway 99 replaced Stockton Boulevard as the regional transportation artery. As a result, traffic was drawn away from the boulevard, causing many businesses to close, while others continued on a marginal basis. Stockton Boulevard’s history as a travel route is still evidenced by the continuing presence of older motels, trailer parks, and other auto-related uses. |

In order to alleviate blight resulting from the new State Highway 99, the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA) designated Stockton Boulevard eligible for commercial rehabilitation loans and façade rebates in the mid-1980s. Although some improvements were made, City and County leaders recognized the need for a long-term commitment. In 1993 SHRA designated Stockton Boulevard as a redevelopment study area, and in May 1994, the Sacramento City Council and the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors approved the adoption of the Redevelopment Plan. The Stockton Boulevard redevelopment project area includes 925 acres, and runs along Stockton Boulevard from 14th Avenue in the City, to the City/County boundary line south of Riza Avenue. |
