Light Rail Expansion Would you like to take light rail to the airport? How would you feel about having a light rail station in your backyard? Today on Insight, Sacramento Regional Transit is planning to move forward on the expansion of the green line to Natomas, but they have met some opposition from neighbors. We'll hear from both sides.

The Green Line Community Review begins with an open studio at 10 a.m. today and runs through Saturday, Aug. 28th at the Natomas Crossing Business Center, 4190 Truxel Road, Suite 102, Natomas. A series of open sessions and presentations take place over the course of the four days. Information (916) 556-0513.
