Parking in Historic FolsomThe Sutter Streetscape project was completed in March 2011 and added over 40 new on-street parking
spaces to the inventory of available parking in the Historic District. However, there are many changes still
in the works for Historic Folsom, and we are still faced with parking challenges. In Spring 2011, construction
commenced on the Historic Folsom Station public plaza improvements, which will permanently eliminate all
surface parking in the Railroad Block. It is therefore important that visitors and employees work together
to make the best use of parking in Historic Folsom. To that end, the City developed a parking map and accompanying guide to assist motorists to find the best
available parking for their needs. To view a parking map that shows the location of all public parking in the
Historic District, including any time limits, click here. For an information sheet for visitors/customers and employees/merchants, which includes a few tips and
pointers for parking in the Historic District and City of Folsom contact information, click here.
Public Works Day | 
Every year, the Public Works and Utilities Departments celebrate Public Works Day to commemorate the
achievements of public works in the daily lives of all Americans. The City of Folsom's celebration is
scheduled each year during the American Public Works Association's nationally proclaimed "National Public
Works Week", which is observed during the third full week of May. This year national Public Works Week
will be May 20 through May 26. The 2012 national theme is "Public Works: Creating a Lasting Impression."
The City of Folsom celebrates Public Works Day on the Wednesday of National Public Works Week.
Other City Departments join in the fun and create a joint Public Works Day and Public Participation Day. Public
Participation Day gives visitors an opportunity to meet City employees and gain information about the many
City departments. Please join us for the fun each year. The next City of Folsom Public Works Day is scheduled for
Wednesday, May 23, 2012. It will be held at City Lions Park (next to the Library) between 9:30 and noon.
