Update: Capitol Park Historic Trees on the Chopping Block—How to Take Action
The trees impacted by the project will be cut down, or an attempt will be made to move them.
Many in the city are hearing about the State Capitol Annex Project for the first time. East Sacramento Preservation will continue to send updates. Below are links explaining the project and information about how to comment. ESP opposes two components of the project. First, the cutting and/or attempted relocation of dozens of healthy, historic trees and second, the building of an underground parking lot in Capitol Park. Both actions are environmentally unsound. If you would like to contact ESP directly, please write a comment to this post. (Comment link at the very end of the post.)
The report may be found here:
Look under Sacramento for Capitol Annex Project and the Recirculated-Draft Environmental Impact Report

This is an entire website on the State Capitol rebuild project but not user friendly and not advertised well to the public.
