The Phase 3 portion of the West Sacramento River Walk greenway provides a critical quarter-mile long extension along the Sacramento, integrates a landmark high rise office building into the greenway, reaches out into the surrounding neighborhoods, and sets the foundation for bringing Southern Pacific Railroad on-board as a partner. The gerrymandered 3-acre parcel also reflected the partnering challenges among permitting agencies, adjacent property owners (willing and reluctant), focused railroad partners, and almost all City departments, intertwined with the larger issues of levee stabilization and public access.

Senior Callander Associates' staff collaborated with City management and design staff to resolve all design and permitting issues with a variety of "work arounds" to accommodate various grant programs, permits, added design components requiring unanticipated sub consultants, perceived program conflicts with adjacent owners, and the political realities of an anxious Council and public.
