Going for green
Designers aimed to incorporate not only ease of transition into the design, but also natural elements of the capital region -- even in the choice of building materials.

After the county purchased a redwood bridge linking Sacramento with San Joaquin County, officials wanted to use it in the terminal, Mares said.

"We couldn't use it for the structure because it's not structurally sound, so we decided to use it in the ceiling beam infills," he said. "So we have this 100-year-old recycled redwood that's going to be the dominant feature in the ticketing area."


That's going to look so cool...


Thanks for posting this Sugit..


I can't wait for the project to be u/c. Until then my fear is that some whacko will emerge at the last minute and file a lawsuit to block construction.

This is one of the most important projects in Sacramento and the entire Central Valley.
