In response, the police department and downtown partnership said beginning this weekend, there will be traffic changes that impact areas vehicles can access.<\/p>\n
The Old Sacramento Parking Garage and Tower Bridge Garage will remain open and fully accessible, but “from 10 p.m. through the evening” from Fridays through Sundays, certain areas will be accessible for pedestrians only.<\/p>\n
The police department’s news release said vehicle access beyond 2nd Street into Old Sacramento will be restricted.<\/p>\n
“Pedestrians will still be able to access open businesses; and vehicles parked within the TMP will be able to leave,” the release read.<\/p>\n

\u201cOld Sacramento Waterfront requires immediate city-backed tactics to prevent future incidents to the best of everyone\u2019s ability,\u201d says Michael Ault, Executive Director of Downtown Sacramento Partnership, in a separate release from the downtown partnership. \u201cCities all over the country are facing similar safety challenges, but there are also districts that are successfully mitigating and managing them with creative solutions.<\/p>\n
Details were not released on how long these updated pedestrian zones will last.<\/p>\n
Arrested in connection are Ezekiel Griffis and Robert Richwine. A third person was also taken into custody, but because that third person is a minor, officials will not release an identity.<\/p>\n
