City Council Members and Redistricting: This past Tuesday, Sacramento City Council met and one of the items that was discussed was district representation after redistricting. The City Attorney gave her recommendations on how District 3 and District 4 would be represented today and after District 3 CM Harris’s term ends. To view the meeting, please find the YouTube here. Item 20 starts at 1:08:50 in the video. From this, it sounds like those of us in East Sacramento and River Park will be represented by the Mayor in the new year.
SacBee article on Redistricting and MESA’s comments: This morning the SacBee ran this article about how this affects various neighborhoods in the city. Amy Gardner of MESA was interviewed for the article.

Support our Neighborhood Businesses: Neighbors, we appreciate our friendly shop owners and encourage you to shop local whenever possible. MESA wants to thank A Therapeutic Alternative, located at 3015 H Street. The owners and staff at this local business have been very supportive of MESA’s efforts in the neighborhood. The security staff has been increasing security patrols around the block when school is getting out to make sure kids are able to travel safely in the neighborhood, especially around the H Street underpass to Midtown.
Bike to School Day May 4th: National Bike to School Day is May 4th, and MESA is planning a fun bike day for Sutter students, and we’re planning to invite other local schools to join up by bike after school at Sutter’s Landing. We’ll have a shaved ice vendor, bike safety clinic and a raffle for some cool bike stuff! We would love chaperones and bike enthusiasts to come and join us. The more the merrier! SABA and The Mercy Pedalers are scheduled to join us, and SABA is leading the bike safety clinic. To learn more about National Bike to School Day, visit https://www.
