Sacramento-area readers faced a packed news day Thursday, with major developments in West Sacramento\u2019s trash service, regional traffic and police surveillance. Here\u2019s a quick look:<\/p>\n
West Sacramento\u2019s City Council approved a 10-year contract with GreenWaste Recovery, switching trash haulers for the first time<\/a> and raising rates for residents. The vote followed criticism over a lack of public input in the selection process. City Hall launched a last-minute outreach push after residents pushed back at a packed Aug. 19 council meeting.Back-to-back freeway shutdowns this week paralyzed traffic across Sacramento<\/a>, and transportation experts say there\u2019s no easy fix. The region\u2019s \u201chub and spoke\u201d road network leaves few alternate routes when a corridor like Highway 50 goes down. One closure followed an officer-involved shooting that shut westbound Highway 50 near Hazel Avenue early Tuesday, snarling the morning commute.Sacramento police shared license plate reader data with federal agencies<\/a> through fusion centers, raising fresh privacy concerns. The department\u2019s automated cameras captured plate data 290 million times last year. Unlike many cities in the national debate over Flock-branded cameras, Sacramento uses a different automated license plate reader system. <\/p>\n This report was produced with the assistance of a proprietary tool powered by artificial intelligence based on our own originally reported, written and published content.
