CITY AND OAK PARK COMMUNITY PLAN CELEBRATION TO KICK OFF 
DEMOLITION OF TWO TROUBLESOME LIQUOR STORES 
Redevelopment Agency will offer the lots for development of affordable single family homes 
What: The City of Sacramento, Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency 
(SHRA) and Oak Park community will hold a demolition kick-off and community 
march celebration at the sites of two troublesome neighborhood convenience 
stores where liquor was sold. The markets will be torn down as part of a 
community revitalization project to make way for new affordable single family 
housing. 
When: Saturday, April 14, 2007 – 10:00 a.m. 
Where: Washington Market, 3700 2nd Avenue (Oak Park), Sacramento 
Days Market, 3536 20th Avenue (Oak Park), Sacramento (11:30 a.m.) 
Community members will march on the sidewalk from the Washington Market 
south on 37th Street to Broadway/Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard; south to 20th 
Avenue to the Days Market to complete the celebration. 
Who: Sacramento City Councilmember Lauren Hammond; Anne Moore, Executive 
Director, Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency; Oak Park 
Neighborhood Association; Second Saturday Oak Park Clean Up Program. 
Why: Over the years, the Washington and Days Markets have been magnets crime, drug 
dealing, loitering, and trash and other blighting problems. Both of these 
properties were non-conforming uses in primarily single-family neighborhoods. 
In light of many complaints, there has been widespread community support for 
the redevelopment and reuse of these properties. Once the structures are 
demolished, the sites will become development opportunities for single family 
affordable housing. 
Visuals: Remarks by city and redevelopment agency officials and community 
representatives; construction tractor kicks off site demolition at Washington 
Market; groups of people rallying and walking from 37th Street to 20th Avenue; 
removal of Days Market sign and installation of new construction sign.
