210	Less expansion, more focus on infrastructure	93	95	93	95	106
164	Slow down new housing development. Maintain oak tree groves and natural green spaces.	92	92	100	100	77
189	The trash along white rock rd is an issue. I believe it’s mostly from all the construction. Can something be done about it?	91	91	92	100	60
348	Identify consistent, reliable and adequate funding to maintain parks, trails, roads, storm drains and open space to preserve and maintain civic infrastructure, quality of life and property values.	89	96	100	89	198
223	More outreach like this. It's impossible for most working families to make in person meetings to give city feedback, ignoring large portion of population	88	96	100	88	123
260	Adjust the intersection lights along Folsom Boulevard to match the light rail trains. Now, whenever the the light rail crossing arms go down the Folsom Boulevard lights are red, causing traffic to stop in all directions.go down the Folsom	88	88	92	88	134
297	Code enforcement should start fining chronic offenders.	88	88	98	89	141
417	Expand police education campaigns targeting youth e-bike riders and enforce new California e-bike safety regulations.	87	94	97	87	304
427	Prioritize solving the US 50/E. Bidwell overcrossing traffic nightmare.	87	95	99	87	282
181	Connect the two bike/walking trails on each side (underneath) of highway 50 along side Placerville Road. The two paths are fabulous and only 100 yards or so needs to be constructed. Let the North Folsom and South Folsom share trails.	86	86	100	92	79
185	Hear’s an idea! Don’t spend any more money on new ideas until you’re done paying for the old ones! And put that engine, 39 back in service!	86	100	90	86	65
340	Don’t build infrastructure unless funding for future maintenance is earmarked in the budget.	86	91	96	86	197
363	Prioritize construction of the Empire Ranch Road interchange on US 50. Would relieve traffic at the E. Bidwell offramp.	86	87	91	86	232
404	Develop long-term plan for financial sustainability that preserves quality of life for Folsom residents. Guide priorities & decisions on community input, data, market analysis & best practices, instead of ideas, opinions, and self-interests	86	99	97	86	221
279	Increase the developer fees to cover the actual cost of new infrastructure. They will pay up if it’s still economically viable. If not, that shows they have been profiting off of Folsom.	83	95	97	83	142
375	The city needs to have a long term plan for funding public safety. They need to plan for expanding future personnel growth needs. There should be a formula which would create benchmarks for adding police and fire personnel.	83	86	98	83	205
197	Decrease the amount of homeless and transient people hanging out in old town. It’s become too much. They are sleeping all over the area and loitering into our neighborhoods.	82	82	83	100	83
349	Encourage more family/youth friendly civic volunteer opportunities around the city.	82	91	100	82	194
429	Advance the construction of the US-50 Empire Ranch Interchange to reduce traffic on E. Bidwell Street.	82	86	90	82	457
373	Develop Empire Ranch Road off/on ramp to alleviate traffic on East Bidwell.	81	81	88	83	221
290	After surviving the Camp Fire, we chose Folsom for many reasons, but Fire Station 39 being next door to our new home was a big one. That station isn't just infrastructure, its why we felt safe starting over here. Please don't take that away	80	94	98	80	110
220	Let the residents elect the Mayor like most cities do.	79	98	93	79	118
234	Conduct a study of E. Bidwell traffic patterns to relieve congestion. Implement traffic flow improvement.	79	90	100	79	126
265	Stop turning our small town into an apartments only shantytown!	79	80	79	88	121
281	Shift the current city model of growth, expansion, money to stewardship, preservation, and slowing growth	79	79	94	88	143
325	More access to cross hwy 50 is needed now! Sometimes it takes 10 or 15 minutes to cross hwy 50 due to cars backed up. The community is adding hundreds of homes in the next year and it will continue to get worse.	79	91	97	79	178
392	There needs to be a long term funding plan for the maintenance of our existing parks and trails. Budget funds each year, regardless of the economic status, to repair and maintain parks. Arguing every year over this is a failed strategy.	79	98	100	79	259
396	City council should not vote to get their own raise. That decision should come from many-budget analysis, city manager, public, city planning, non partial committee, dept mgrs all included, but not for themselves.	79	93	100	79	260
149	You could also start enforcing some of the laws we already have related to e-bikes!	78	89	100	78	67
214	Keep all water fountains at parks working, unclogged & not leaking. Ensure each park has at least one. Many have been broken for years or leak making huge mud pits.	78	92	100	78	110
409	A moratorium on growth and high density housing UNTIL new development pays the expenditures of ALL supporting infrastructure	78	78	93	79	267
128	We desperately need an US50 interchange at Oak Avenue. This would help the congestion at Bidwell and Iron Point.	77	100	93	77	57
342	Enhance the “Adopt a Trail” program to enable businesses to sponsor sections of trail through donations, which would be used for trail repairs and improvement projects. The program is currently no-cost and only involves volunteer care.	77	98	100	77	213
374	Change the timing on the lights, especially on E. Bidwell, to reduce wait time and traffic congestion	77	91	99	77	214
259	SIDEWALKS ON SCHOOL STREET. It's so unsafe for kids (& adults) walking to & from.	76	92	98	76	120
217	How about saving for a rainy day?	75	76	92	75	79
302	Set higher expectations for City Manager regarding budget situation, limit raises	75	98	98	75	133
394	Make the rich developers pay for ALL infrastructure needed, realizing & including cost increases, before issuing permits, instead of taxing residents or bonds paid by residents. Get the funds from those that profit from development first.	75	93	98	75	255
419	A resolution where you cannot serve on city Council, unless you have lived within our community for five years. Only one real estate agent can be on the council at a time. No council members affiliation with Developers or private equity	75	83	98	75	327
196	Too much traffic on intersection of Bidwell and way 50. I support the idea of diverting traffic to different route or have another way to go to free way to ease the access of local as well as highway commute.	74	96	95	74	84
266	With Sutter facility opening, traffic along E. Bidwell is expected to increase significantly. Opening a highway entrance at Iron Point and Empire Ranch would improve overall flow and safety for the community.	74	86	86	74	136
280	More trees along walking areas. The hot summers are too much for people to enjoy being out.	74	92	98	74	145
380	Please. Lengthy explanation from the 3 yes votes how council can afford 3× raise while they have $3mil deficit, cut public services, propose raising taxes, and have plans for excessive future projects but no funding or income revenue plans.	74	83	94	74	181
413	Advance the construction of the Oak Avenue and US50 interchange	74	74	90	77	270
420	Focus selective traffic enforcement on red-light running and aggressive driving throughout the city.	74	82	93	74	295
158	Leave our beautiful lake as natural as it is now. Money is behind this, of course.	73	73	94	89	57
243	Start water features at City parks on May 1st, not at the end of May. May is extremely hot here and little ones could really use the splash pads.	73	82	91	73	122
283	Develop a list of 5 critical infrastructure projects. Since we must pay matching funds even with a grant, the city should spend NO money towards ANY project not on that list. This reduces staff workload & wasteful spending $1M annum (est)	73	73	93	85	117
326	Adopt a rule barring anyone with a real estate industry background from serving on the Planning Commission, including those who have worked as lobbyists for the California Association of Realtors.	73	77	89	73	177
397	Ban the use of toxic and carcinogenic pesticides on public grounds and playgrounds for the safety of our children.	73	92	96	73	242
412	Folsom needs to find revenue streams instead of covering the budget deficit on the back of the fire department’s back.	73	88	99	73	232
418	Partner with NPOs and local businesses to raise funds to rehab parks and fields.	73	86	92	73	273
168	How about putting a moratorium on building any more high density multi-family housing, until the out of control traffic issues, which are ruining the quality of life, are solved!	72	72	87	78	85
248	Beautify our trails & parkways e.g. remove or fix old broken sprinkler systems	72	83	94	72	114
172	Hwy 50 Oak Ave. Interchange would be nice.	71	78	85	71	70
183	Enforcing the law/codes to maintain quality of life. Parents should be held accountable for unruly kids. Plus-Code enforcement should actually enforce violations so we can try to have some semblance of life before we were overrun.	71	88	94	71	81
187	1. Police enforcing speeding and reckless drivers. 2. Outlaw excessively loud vehicle/motor cycle exhaust/muffler noise. 3. Enforce vandalism of streets by motor bikes making skid marks (all over the city and parking lots).	71	71	91	71	79
361	For the Folsom City Council to stop using state grants (our state taxes) for grandiose ideas instead of decreasing the parks and recreation maintenance deficit! Be transparent and admit many hundreds of millions of dollar the deficit is!	71	77	96	71	164
364	All capital improvements require funds earmarked (reserved) for future repair, maintenance and replacement before they can be approved. Otherwise keep the lot vacant until full funding is available.	71	86	92	71	183
402	Quit creating city parks if there are no monies placed in reserve to maintain/replace infrastructure as it ages. Many of our parks have benches, picnic tables, fencing, etc, that are 30-40 years old and in decay. Budget! Plan ahead!	71	71	81	73	251
142	This is three things mashed into one. Stopping growth is no solution. Enforcing traffic laws is important… but we need to keep up on expanding road infrastructure, otherwise we’re forcing more cars into neighborhood streets	70	84	100	70	56
144	STOP building anymore houses in Folsom Ranch UNTIL a new overpass is built. The bottleneck on E Bidwell overpass to get back and forth is so stupid… esp since a new overpass was promised in order to get existing Folsom residents to agree.	70	70	97	78	67
155	Side walks on the undeveloped part of SIBLEY street between Glen and Bidwell	70	76	97	70	57
227	Add trash cans around Folsom Ranch. Trash and dog waste bags get left everywhere as there is nowhere to dispose of it.	70	87	95	70	97
335	Complete alder creek road all the way to prairie city to alleviate traffic on bidwell. Construction should be completed by builders of south of 50 with no additional cost to revidents.	70	90	100	70	179
254	Folsom ranch- the vision of future of Folsom ranch cannot be Roseville 2.0. Please please I do not want to spend my adult life looking at strip malls full of Dave’s hot chicken and big corporate grocery stores. Maybe a big park?	69	98	96	69	128
184	The Empire Ranch Interchange needs to be built as soon as possible.	68	96	68	89	74
388	Develop Oak Avenue freeway access which would relieve traffic on East Bidwell	68	73	92	68	239
327	Broader police enforcement against vehicles with illegally modified tailpipes for noise reduction. Post signage through town regarding enforcement of California code 27151. Fines collected will boost local coffers and fund more police.	67	72	84	67	172
389	Create a Citizens Budget Oversight Committee to bring more public input into the financial decision-making process. The Committee would promote transparency and accountability ensuring resources are managed responsibly and effectively.	67	81	92	67	214
410	Folsom is becoming a traffic nightmare. Sutter Street and East Bidwell need to prioritize alternative travel methods. Especially with Sutter middle School. We need dedicated protected bike lanes, public transit, etc.	67	94	96	67	270
415	I would really like to see Folsom begin to think outside the box on ways to drive revenue. We have so many gems already built and aren’t being used. I am in District 1 & I have a list. We need to get control of the spending. community help	67	83	96	67	200
421	Bring back events that build community! Wacky Dash, Glow Run, Love my Mom 5K. Those were so fun!!	66	88	96	66	253
180	Increase recreational and entertainment opportunities for tweens and teens.	64	91	100	64	82
407	Revitalize the Central District and stop putting all low-barrier housing north of 50.	64	75	89	64	205
331	Sidewalks on school street.	63	94	95	63	157
387	The residents should vote for mayor, not city council.	63	79	86	63	227
108	Update the city charter so council members cannot vote themselves raises without AT MINIMUM a citizens' group review and input.	62	95	100	62	56
209	Too much development too many people are streets are impacted. It's too crowded. There won't be enough water for everybody.	62	70	83	62	84
218	Certain open space areas are improperly closed due to Homeless activity which interferes with other recreation like Gold Mining, Prospecting. P.C. 602 (k) signs in these are inappropriate. This needs to be addressed.	62	70	89	62	72
312	Stop the growth and start passing out more speed tickets and running stop signs in the neighborhood	62	81	91	62	153
358	A bathroom at Castle Park.	62	74	89	62	190
198	Speed bumps are a pain in the rear, have to be maintained and can be a potential hassle. Start issuing some moving violation tickets and it will slow down	61	61	81	73	70
238	Trail cameras added to Humbug Willow Creek Trail or patrol. Especially by the light rail.	61	75	83	61	111
306	Buy the cow pasture below South Folsom. Keep it mostly the same, and use it as a preserved historical park and teaching farm… we need to keep some open space around the city! Let the train run to it for tours, like it used to in the past.	61	83	90	61	142
324	Prioritize design and construction of the River Promenade from the Historic District/Sutter Street down to Rainbow Bridge to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety and provide a unique river/recreation experience.	61	80	95	61	167
221	Remove stop signs at roundabouts	59	79	74	59	88
284	Safer bike routes for kids to ride to school, especially near Sutter Middle and Theodore Judah	59	93	98	59	139
295	adding Cameras is NOT adding Red Light Cameras. Increase the police presence and ticket more. Easy and low cost.	59	59	84	64	126
318	Since intersections that exit students (jr high and high schools) have a 45 second wait period, allow students to cross at all angles of the intersections. This will be safer for all concerned and help the traffic flow return to normal.	59	72	93	59	149
399	Create more zoning for commercial business south of 50 so residents don't have to use East Bidwell to get shopping done	59	77	94	59	256
403	Resurface East Bidwell! My alignment needs a break.	59	76	91	59	221
111	Add more sidewalks in the neighborhood surrounding old Folsom, the road have people parked on the sides off them and people can't walk them without getting into traffic	58	80	96	58	50
131	Take Sutter street back to the Covid days - buskers playing outside, closed to cars, outdoor seating.	58	81	93	58	60
165	Better holiday celebrations, a 4th of July parade down East Bidwell, a fireworks show, a Christmas carnival. Baking competitions, bring back the old hometown traditions.	58	88	97	58	69
245	The mayor and vice mayor want to increase their authority by changing the city’s charter. They give themselves raises, more money for perks, and don’t listen to residents. They don’t represent the people in Folsom and should be voted out.	58	65	93	58	100
298	Another off ramp off of 50 to Oak Ave.	58	67	96	58	140
350	If Folsom is in a budget deficit, maybe the city manager shouldn't be making $300,000 a year while asking for a raise. ALL CITY MANAGERS MUST ACTUALLY LIVE IN FOLSOM. If city workers want a raise, they need to disclose their tax returns.	58	81	98	58	201
186	This is another situation about poor planning and capacity. City council should have figured this out before over building. Now there’s a problem that requires more money and waste	57	88	86	57	51
193	Build a bridge (walkway) over E Bidwell closer to Palladio. It’s so dangerous for anyone crossing to get to the shops.	57	79	70	57	91
216	As summers become hotter & heavy rain pours in winter we should create more green spaces in Folsom by removing concrete unless ABSOLUTELY needed. Swiss & Canadian cities are doing this to reduce drainage load & enjoy cooler summers.	57	85	89	57	108
287	If there are funds allocated with a balanced budget and no deficit - Go for it	57	69	88	57	88
339	The neighborhoods whose property taxes pay for their landscaping and maintenance need to be increased appropriately to keep up with inflation. They cannot keep getting those services and operating in the red. No money, no services.	57	68	79	57	159
366	Increased enforcement of those who fail to make full stops at stop signs and those who run red lights.	57	81	98	57	214
406	Improve trail safety: change pavement messaging to (1) ‘Walkers Stay Left’ and (2) ‘Bicycles Go Around Walkers.’ This clarifies that walkers facing oncoming bikes always have right of way — reducing confusion and conflict on shared paths.	57	66	93	57	244
244	Please Add a Kaiser Hospital with emergency services.	56	80	92	56	106
271	Develop and implement a coherent Central Business District Beautification plan. ?bury utilities ?fountains	56	61	89	56	122
330	It seems like Folsom's Historic District gets an inordinate amount of promotion compared to other areas of the city that would benefit from being highlighted from time to time. Folsom is more than Sutter Street. Expand promotional efforts	56	79	86	56	170
289	All city builds should be as simply designed and affordable as possible. This doesn’t have to mean ugly, but we should not be building the best of the best all the time. Ex: the newest fire station has heated floors.	55	88	79	55	133
291	Implement a rule that if 80% of public comment is for/against a city council action, city council must adhere to the public OR delay to the next meeting. City council should not go against public sentiment. Ex: data center, council raises	55	84	98	55	141
367	A way for residents to speak or have a letter read at council meetings if they can't be present at the meeting. Instead of only certain people with the time or freedom to attend only having a voice, such as working parents, conflict in time	55	83	95	55	190
376	Can permits ensure that developers have to make sure there is at least 30%green cover (shady trees as well as flowering and fruit trees/plants), there are children parks and walking trails for all in the plots they develop?	55	95	98	55	213
205	More doggie waste stations! Broadstone, School street and Iron Point. There is only one at Handy Family Park. It will hopefully eliminate all the dog waste everywhere!	54	84	100	54	86
333	Prairie City road south of Hwy 50 is exceedingly dangerous. Blind corners, no shoulders, and terrible pavement and potholes. Thousands of large trucks and cars access this route daily. A redesign is necessary for public safety.	54	87	97	54	172
345	Create more businesses and restaurants along part of lake Natoma. Increased revenue, more enjoyable space and eateries, especially as more housing is added.	54	57	71	54	199
353	Widen Bidwell for better traffic flow. Possibly another exit so Bidwell wouldn’t back up down the 50 hwy.	54	62	74	54	189
365	Restore library hours that were cut for Monday services but never returned	54	83	93	54	205
137	Let the voters decide whether they have earned a raise.	53	80	100	53	53
169	close sutter street between Riley and wool st for pedestrians every weekend.	53	81	92	53	83
237	Study if outsourcing waste management would be cheaper for residents	53	77	62	53	105
303	Speed up delivery of new parks SO50, because they are fully self-funded by SO50 residents, and their maintenance is so fully funded by SO50 residents.	53	79	90	53	120
401	Reduce speed limits or at least enforce speed limits on roads such as Blue Ravine Rd, East Bidwell St and Oak Avenue. There is too much reckless driving/red light running with little to no law enforcement.	53	72	86	53	256
267	Improve safety for pedestrian crossing at folsom blvd and blue ravine- cars are turning right when the walk signal is on ignoring the no turn signs - increase pedestrian safety at crosswalks	52	100	100	52	117
357	No data centers or AI complexes in or near Folsom.	51	76	92	51	223
377	Keep the river district as a nature sanctuary, preserve, or nature learning center and natural museum, living with wildlife, plant native species importance, water conservation, destiny to "Distinctive by Nature!" No tourist retail profit.	51	77	85	51	238
119	Plant native plants in parkway strips or any area that just has useless lawn that is city maintained. This would mean supporting native wildlife, and saving on water and maintenance since the plants are meant to live here	50	91	92	50	58
203	As Folsom’s population continues to grow, widening the East Bidwell freeway bridge would help improve traffic flow and reduce congestion. (IF it is possible to widen of course)	50	63	71	50	82
371	On medical emergencies just dispatch an Ambulance. Rather than an engine and Ambulance. Why? Save resources	50	63	73	50	182
305	Add a pedestrian/bike/school crossing on Folsom-Auburn to connect the bike path. Children cannot walk to school. They is no sidewalk for people use, and the bike path doesn’t connect. Currently have to cross busy Folsom-Auburn unprotected	49	85	100	49	131
337	Shade structures over the park play spaces so they can be used in the heat or rain. And/or a free or low cost indoor community park	49	82	93	49	188
368	Add City Bus Routes for Middle and High School students that run multiple loops per day, and follow the school schedules more closely, including the early release schedule on Thursdays. Bus wait time before and after school is too long now.	49	86	96	49	202
300	Re-allocate lanes on East Bidwell Rd overpass over 50 so 3 lanes for the northbound and 2 lanes for the southbound. This will allow dedicated westbound 50 entry lane for resients living in south of 50 and reduce a traffic backup on the road	48	73	90	48	106
379	More access to water and bathrooms around Lake Natoma on the trails! It’s used heavily by athletes and families, but doesn’t have the infrastructure needed to keep people safe.	48	76	86	48	207
179	Connect Oak Ave Pkwy over 50 without a highway interchange. Oak Ave Pkwy interchange would be too close to Prairie city and the city needs a road to connect north and south.	47	50	91	47	70
328	The City is a partner in the Southern Pacific Transportation Corridor (unused old railroad) from Folsom to Placerville. Plan for, fund, and build a bike trail from the existing trail south of 50 all the way to Placerville.	47	79	95	47	169
329	Change some park and most public building grass areas to native plant pollinator habitat to reduce water and maintenance requirements as well as increase pollinator populations and educational & aesthetic value.	47	87	88	47	183
162	Funding for the creation of a city task force consisting of Folsom Police, Code Enforcement, and other relevant city units to address chronic nuisance residences, homeless abatement, and out of compliance businesses.	46	58	87	46	64
191	Class I bike trails not just for leisure, connect them to commercial zones so residents can safely walk or bike to movies or shops.	46	86	97	46	82
208	Close off vehicle access to Sutter street and allow only pedestrian access! More street community events could take place (bands, markets etc)	46	70	87	46	109
251	I would like Folsom City Council to stand up for their residents and demand “FLOCK” camera LPR contracts are reviewed and canceled. Flock has been accused of illegally sharing data with DHS/FBI/various police departments..	46	73	88	46	99
334	Folsom has the space and money to expand our Senior Center to better aide our large community of Senior citizens. This would create more opportunities to engage with peers, stay active, and help ensure a community space for our loved ones!	46	73	91	46	172
151	Community program that incentives good citizenship for middle schoolers - example the kiddos on the e-bikes can help seniors load groceries in their cars. They can collect trash and turn it in for rewards. The schools can promote.	45	83	91	45	57
167	We need more condos than apartments. This allows young people the ability to buy a home.	45	64	94	45	69
171	Extend Broadstone Ave over Highway 50, to allow a bypass of E Bidwell /50/ironpoint. No interchange, just another way to cross 50.	45	70	93	45	58
200	Something has to be done with the water. It tastes terrible. We have to buy water to drink. We live on two lakes and a river; why can’t we get clear tasting water. The water system in Folsom so out dated that it can’t handle the population.	45	54	74	45	87
206	Widen the 50 East between Folsom exit and Bidwell and toss in another exit between Prairie City and Bidwell.	45	45	64	55	98
239	Hold SacRT accountable for trains every 15 minutes as we were guaranteed	45	81	88	45	91
269	More trails for our community of walkers and bikers!	45	71	87	45	129
230	Change Folsom’s South of Fifty area to its own town and call it Rancho Dorado. This will remove the drain of funds from the rest of the residents of Folsom.	44	45	44	45	118
