quest: Those are concept drawings, not an illustration of a project in the pipeline. Expect the West Sacramento streetcar to start running in the next 4-5 years, then development will follow. A lot of it will probably look like the projects already sprouting around the I Street Bridge: LJ Urban has a lot of projects in that neighborhood that are more like the urban infill going into midtown Sacramento than anything skyscrapery. What happens next depends on a lot of variables: Will the streetcar project be successful, and spur further development? Will an influx of new residents help the Washington/Broderick/Bryte neighborhoods supersede their bad reputation? Will future leadership follow in the same pattern as Chris Cabaldon, who might be setting his sights on higher political aspirations? Will more bridges be built over the river? Will continuing development in Sacramento drive adjacent land values high enough to spur the kind of construction in the concept drawing?
