ARPPS Letter Published

Make it a Golden Necklace

Re "The tide is turning for river renaissance," Nov. 4: The front page article on the river renaissance was magnificent and reminds us of what a wonderful resource we have that is still in the process of being fully embraced by the community.

We see from the article that there are many groups working on various projects and the implied visionary theme is to think eco-regionally, forming a connection between these projects to allow for a future unbroken trail and parkway experience throughout the county, connecting our three rivers (including the Cosumnes).

A wonderful model here is the famed Emerald Necklace in Boston and perhaps ours, in appreciation of our history, is a Golden Necklace in the making, link by link.
