Capitol Mall

Capitol Mall is a major roadway in the city of Sacramento that leads to the iconic Tower Bridge which connects Downtown Sacramento with the Yolo County city of West Sacramento. The Capitol Mall was previously also known as State Route 275, but was relinquished to the city in January 2006. [Sacramento Bee, Face-lift on Capitol Mall menu, February 5, 2006, p. B1: "City leaders have said something should be done to spruce up the concourse. But until January, the state Department of Transportation controlled it as a state highway. Control now has passed to the city, and city staff members say Sacramento should do something to make the mall more inviting for pedestrians and visitors."] A plethora of Sacramento's major businesses and law firms are located on the Capitol Mall. Located at the east end of the mall is the California State Capitol building.
