    WEST SACRAMENTO — West Sacramento city leaders are preparing to take a major step toward improving traffic safety. On Wednesday, they will consider adopting Vision Zero, a comprehensive plan aimed at reducing serious vehicle collisions by 50% over the next decade. Traffic safety advocate Dana Aika Miranda says the city needs to do more to slow drivers down.

    SACRAMENTO — There are concerns about trash troubles growing in Sacramento County parks. This week, the board of supervisors is trying to balance its $8.9 billion budget, and more than a million dollars could be cut from regional park funding. Sacramento County is facing an $18 million general fund deficit, and the parks department is bracing for more than a million and a half dollars in cuts.  Many are concerned that these potential cuts could put the American River Parkway in peril.
