Fences Approved Amid Flood Protection Debate | Sacramento Kings News

Sacramento’s flood board just approved permanent fences on a planned levee trail — sparking outrage from locals who say it kills public access to the long-awaited 17-mile River Parkway. While the board insists its decision was purely about flood safety, property owners argue they’re just exercising their rights on private land. The city’s vision for a mixed-use path is now in jeopardy, with conditions attached that could force fence removal if future projects need levee access — and the cost would fall on the owners. This isn’t just about fences — it’s a flashpoint in the battle between public access and private property in the heart of the Central Valley.
