Sentinel Staff Report–
This week’s Letters to the Editor discuss the downfall and potential future of the Sunrise Mall, the dangers of walking through the Sunrise Mall, and the condition of roads.
Sunrise Mall walkers:
I enjoy walking in Sunrise Mall as many others do, with far fewer stores open it makes the task more enjoyable as there are fewer people to walk around. On the other hand it’s also more dangerous as kids between 10-15 years old ride their bikes through the mall at neck breaking speeds dodging people on walkers and canes. Mall security is down to minimal enforcement turning the once prosperous mall into the wild west.

Future of Sunrise Mall:
I have worked in sunrise mall for 20 years. It is just shameful to see this place go down so much. The people that are still coming just love that mall because it’s a neighborhood destination and comfortable place to shop. It is shameful that owners, developer etc. can’t get along and make some positive decisions on this. And the city is losing out on a lot of sales tax revenue. MAKE A DECISION!! Let’s move forward there are a lot of people that love that old place.

I want a new outdoor mall:
We don’t need more fast food for streets, or a hotel that will turn into a place that hookers hang out, and men cheat on their wives. We need more restaurants NOT CHAINS! And fun outside shopping or reduce the mall, Roseville Galleria is always packed and a nightmare to park. Same with Arden area plus it isn’t a good area. Would be nice to have the movie theater redone and a local smaller mall again surrounded by restaurant options.
— Carly Harms, Fair Oaks
Citrus Heights Arterials:
I have posed this question to the City Council and got no response, so I will throw it out here. How is it that Greenback Lane got resurfaced which was sorely needed, along with new medians from Fair Oaks to Hazel?? How is it that major thoroughfares in Roseville were resurfaced, so obvious where Roseville and Citrus Heights meet at Auburn Blvd and Sunrise? And why Is driving on Sunrise, Old Auburn, Sylvan et al like driving on third world streets?
