The beauty of sketchiness is that you don't have to worry about the details, because they are entirely theoretical. So yes, it is a fine swath, but you might want to take a look at the details of what is already planned for the area. You might even like them!

This is why it would be easier to adopt! You already have plans for higher density, mixed use areas in that stretch. You already have some space fleshed out for parks/ wide boulevards. Because all of this stuff is just in the planning stage it would be a hell of alot easier to realize this vision than if we had a few half built neighborhoods in the way. I'm sure if there was a vision and an effort from the city/community Inland and whoever calls the shots at T9 would think about altering their design plans to accommodate. Plus, like rampant_jwalker said, it can adapt and be programmed for different uses along the line to fit the needs of the neighborhood.
I do know many of the details planned for the area, I try to follow as many Sacramento Projects as closely as possible, like most here I imagine. I have been to and enjoy Land Park, Southside, McKinley, etc. and would like some of those qualities to be present in these new neighborhoods. Plus, this is chit-chat, no?
