It's Smooth Cruising in the Fulton Business District
Melinda Eppler • June 1, 2018
We hope you are all enjoying the new and improved overlay as you drive up and down Fulton Avenue! After a long wait for this improvement, and many months of traffic delay and congestion, you can now cruise to our favorite Fulton Avenue destination, and to work or home on a smooth and quiet surface.The overlay material used in this project is rubberized asphalt concrete (RAC), also known as asphalt rubber or just rubberized asphalt, is noise reducing pavement material that consists of regular asphalt concrete mixed with crumb rubber made from recycled tires.This product was the #1 choice of the Fulton Avenue Association and the Sacramento County Department of Transportation (SacDOT) for it's internal and external noise-reduction and recycling qualities.
Many thanks go out to all of the businesses on Fulton Avenue, for getting through this difficult, but much needed improvement project with such grace and understanding. Additionally, we would like thank Supervisor Susan Peters and the Leadership at SacDOT for their enduring support of this project; as this project could have slipped down the list of County transportation priorities without their watchful eye. And last, let's all "Tip our Hard Hats" to Teichert Construction for their good work, efficiency, collaborative abilities, attention to detail and management of a tight timeline.
The Fulton Avenue Association successfully renewed the District for another 5 years on August 10, 2023, by a wide margin. In our Renewal Campaign, which began in January of this year, we asked owners for a 5 year term, a 10% assessment increase in 2024 and another 3% increase in 2027. We appreciate such a high level of owner confidence and look forward to continuing to revitalize, promote, clean-up and keep this important business community safe. The Fulton Avenue Association is here for you!

On June 1, 2021, the Sacramento County Health Order was updated to reflect that Sacramento County is now in the State’s Orange Tier 3. Although the State of California is slated to expire the colored-tier structure for counties on June 15, 2021, some of the major advantages of moving from the Red Tier 2 (substantial) to the less restrictive Orange Tier 3 (moderate) now are: Restaurants can have 50% capacity indoors instead of 25%. Events are opening back up (indoor and outdoor) with capacity limits. If all attendees show a negative COVID-19 test or their vaccination card, more people can attend. Bars, where no meals are served, can open outdoors. Indoor swimming pools can open. More youth sports and adult recreational sports are now open, including basketball, football, ice hockey, lacrosse, rowing/crew, rugby, soccer, water polo and more. Cardrooms and satellite wagering businesses can open indoors. The County’s June 1 Health Order is effective immediately until it expires at 12:01 a.m. on June 15, 2021, unless rescinded or amended in writing by the Health Officer prior to its expiration. Our Health Order includes the CDPH face-covering mandate that requires all people in California to wear face coverings when they are outside of the home, with specific exemptions. Vaccinations remains our most powerful tool to end the pandemic. If you haven’t been vaccinated or need your second dose, it is safe, easy, and free to everyone to protect yourself as well as your friends and loved ones from the COVID-19 disease. To find a vaccination location near you, go to MyTurn.ca.gov or call 2-1-1 (or 7-digit number: 916-529-4519). Vaccinations are available days, evenings, and weekends, and walk-ins are accepted at most sites. Learn more on the Sacramento County COVID-19 Vaccination Webpage .

As you may know for the last three years Supervisor Susan Peters used discretionary funds to provide additional sheriff patrols. She is once again arranging to allocate $25,000 of District discretionary funds to secure overtime Sheriff Deputies to patrol large retail commercial properties in my district throughout the holiday season -- affectionately known as the Grinch Patrol.
