West Sacramento leaders oppose Costco Transit Center and promote Woodland housing project

West Sacramento City Council members expressed a strong consensus against the proposed Woodland Transit Center at the Costco location during their recent meeting. The council emphasized their collective opposition to the transit center, advocating instead for a housing project known as Yolando Donnelly in Downtown Woodland, specifically at the intersection of Second and Court Street.

The council's discussions highlighted the potential impacts on transit schedules, timing, and route alignments for the 42 A and B lines. This unified stance reflects the council's commitment to prioritizing housing development over transit infrastructure at the contested site.

In a related initiative, an open house is scheduled for January 28, 2025, from 7:30 AM to 12:30 PM, where the district will showcase a simulated design for the proposed transit center in Downtown Woodland. This event aims to engage the community and gather feedback on the new location.

The council's decisions underscore a strategic focus on housing solutions in the region, signaling a shift in priorities that could shape future developments in West Sacramento and its neighboring areas.
