The new Rec Guide was mailed to Folsom residents last week. The guide includes programs for all ages, with a wide variety of topics including fitness and sports, fine arts and crafts, swim lessons, cooking, social activities, school break camps, and family-focused special events.

The Lake Natoma Trail Gap Closure project in Folsom’s Historic District was completed at the end of December and is now open for use by cyclists and pedestrians. It includes the city’s first Class IV bike trail, also called a “separated bikeway,” which is a 12-foot-wide paved path that parallels Leidesdorff Street between Reading and Wool streets.

The Folsom City Council selected Kerri Howell as mayor and Sarah Aquino as vice mayor at the December 10 special city council meeting. The one-year terms are effective immediately.
