Rep. Doris Matsui, D-Sacramento, Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson and other local leaders break ground on a new light rail line.
A groundbreaking ceremony on Monday took place at Richards Boulevard and Seventh Street, the site of a future Regional Transit station for the Green Line.
The extension is designed to connect downtown with the River District, where the Township 9 development is planned.
Rep. Doris Matsui, D-Sacramento, was on hand along with Mayor Kevin Johnson.
The line is scheduled to be up and running by November 2010.
RT plans to eventually extend the line to Sacramento International Airport.
