Please look for the appropriate area to line up.

NEIGHBORHOOD EXIT PLAN

We appreciate the fact that the residents of East Sacramento can be impacted by the very large crowd and road closures on Thanksgiving morning. This map and corresponding set of instructions should help ease the burden. Thanks for your support and patience.
