City Scoop Wraps Up a Summer of Connection
Last month, we had our final City Scoop of the summer at Mesa Verde High School! This gathering was a wonderful time full of connection with our neighbors and City leaders. Thank you to everyone who joined us for one or all of the events!
Attendees enjoyed free ice cream, yard games like corn hole and resources provided by community organizations.
We couldn’t have done it without our incredible staff or the support of our partners: Residents' Empowerment Association of Citrus Heights, Citrus Heights Police Activities League (PAL), Sunrise Recreation & Park District and San Juan Unified School District.
Thank you all for helping make this series a success!

City Launches Pre-Condemnation Appraisal of Namdar-Owned Portion of Sunrise Mall
The City of Citrus Heights is taking a proactive step in shaping the future of Sunrise Mall by commissioning a pre-condemnation appraisal of the portion owned by Namdar Realty Group. A pre-condemnation appraisal is a formal, independent valuation that gives the City a clear understanding of the property’s fair market value. This is one of several tools City leaders are using to plan for the mall’s transformation into a vibrant destination that reflects community priorities, attracts investment, and strengthens the local economy.

Paving the Way: Accessibility and Drainage Project Prepares for Major Resurfacing
Accessible curb ramps are under construction at 128 locations across the City! The 2025 Accessibility and Drainage (A&D) Project is paving the way for the upcoming annual Roadway Resurfacing Project, which will resurface 125 streets in Citrus Heights!
By doing these accessibility, drainage and sidewalk upgrades ahead of the resurfacing work, a more efficient and cost-effective pavement preservation process results overall. When completed, the A&D project will enhance neighborhoods with:
- New ADA-compliant curb ramps
- Reconstruction of existing failed/damaged curbs, gutters, & sidewalks
- Replacement of deteriorated storm drain facilities
The accessibility and drainage improvements should be finished in November, weather permitting. The resurfacing project will follow, planned to begin later this year and continue into the 2026 construction season. See the Pavement Maintenance Program webpage for more information in general, and for questions specific to this project, contact the General Services Department by calling 916-727-4770 or by emailing generalservices@citrusheights.net.
Remember to slow for the cone zone, watch for workers in and near the road!
