Sacramento’s levees, ports, state roads score poorly in infrastructure report
The American Society of Civil Engineers gave California’s levees and roads D grades in its “Report Card for California’s Infrastructure,” while warning that extreme weather events becoming more common with climate change are straining already-stressed waterways and streets. … Levees across the state received a grade of D+. … But in the capital region, the report cited huge investments in safeguarding people around the Sacramento River basin. The region has pursued updates around Natomas and improvements through the American River Watershed Common Features Project, the Sacramento River east levee, the South Sacramento Streams Group Project, Feather River West Levee Project and the Marysville Ring Levee.
