In 2011, the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors approved the Fair Oaks Boulevard Corridor Plan – a plan that had emerged out of an 11 year process starting with the Carmichael Action Plan that informed the award-winning Fair Oaks Boulevard Concept Plan prepared by Racestudio.
The Corridor Plan presents concepts, goals and principles that frame a vision of Fair Oaks Boulevard as a “main street” fronted by tree-lined pedestrian-friendly streetscapes, storefront buildings and a balanced mix of commercial and residential uses, a beautiful boulevard creating a sense of place for those working, living and visiting Carmichael.
We’ll begin the session by reviewing what’s been done and remains to be done to achieve this vision. Our panel will then discuss what its realization could mean towards meeting the ever-more pressing need to build sustainable, equitable and affordable communities.
Experience Architecture is a public-outreach event designed to facilitate greater transparency with the public in how architects create our built environment and how it impacts their daily lives; to create an ongoing dialogue to inform a distinct, regional, architectural identity; and to highlight existing relationships between the region and its architecture. The 2021 festival runs October 1-10th, celebrating 10 years over 10 days with 10 events. To see more Experience Architecture events, visit www.aiacv.org/exparch
