Bernie Sanders, AOC plan Folsom Rally: road closures, traffic concerns

The city expects heavy traffic on East Bidwell Street, in the surrounding streets. The event will take place on Tuesday at Folsom Lake College.

Folsom, California Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) will tour on Tuesday to find a political rally and bring a number of traffic concerns and road closures.

In the East Bidwell Street, the scholar and the surrounding streets, the Lake College event is expected until at least 9 p.m., at which the organizers are expected from 3:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. by more than 10,000 people.

The city of Folsom said planned road closures include:

  • Terrified path between the East Bidwell Street and the Silberhorn Drive.
  • Cavitt trip between scholar Way and Lothian Way.

“The drivers should plan in advance, allow additional travel time and consider alternative routes,” said the city. “Parking in nearby residential areas is only suitable for the residents. Please respect the publication and do not block drive or access points.”

According to Los Rios, the police authority is reportedly working with the police authority Folsom and with the Sacramento County’s Sheriff office to ensure the safety of the participants and the surrounding community.

The Folsom Lake College organizes the rally

The event is planned at the end of a weekday with courses at the meeting, FLC President Art Pimentel wrote to the student body in an e -mail notification last week.

The priority of the institution is to alleviate the effects of the rally on students and their educational environment, said Pimentel. According to reports, some professors have reported virtual lessons, and the students can inquire about their professors about class format. The campus will be completely open for those who participate in personal classes, the school said.

According to reports, Parkknach question will exceed the available rooms of the college, and parking on campus will be first-come date. Carpings, public transport and carpooling are encouraged on Tuesday, and school officers recommend that the students arrive and go through the entrance to College Parkway.

According to FLC, the students can come to school early to secure a place and stay on campus for the full length of their Tuesday lesson to avoid losing it. The students could also consider bringing a full lunch to leave the campus, officials said: Pacific dining will work with extended hours on Tuesday:

  • Falcon grill: 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
  • Oasis Coffee Bar: 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Pimentel said Sanders booked Flc at short notice. Sanders and Ocasio Cortez should visit the Gold Country Fairgrounds in Auburn by last week. The FLC sports route can hold more people than the exhibition center, and the college said, so the venue has changed.

“Please note that this is not a FLC or Los Rios-sponsored event,” Pimentel wrote to the students in his email. “As a publicly financed venue, there are certain laws and guidelines according to which we make our facilities available to the public under certain circumstances. The organizers follow our rental process and will cover 100% of the incident costs.”

The school said that she sees the rally as a wonderful opportunity to show FLC and welcome those who could be on campus for the first time.

Why do Sanders and AOC Folsom visit?

Sanders said in a video published on Saturday, most of his “Fighting Oligarchy” tour events in congress districts that are deliberately represented by Republicans.

“In these extraordinarily difficult and depressing times, I would like people in the communities we visit and understand people across the country that they are not alone when they are not alone about what Trump is doing in our country,” says Sanders in the video.

The purpose of the tour is to have discussions throughout America, such as oligarchs and corporate interests that have power and influence on the country, wrote Sanders on his website. In clips, Sander’s billionaires, mainly President Donald Trump and the richest man in the world: Elon Musk, one of Trump’s high -ranking consultants.

ABC10 turned to Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-Folsom), which represents the Californian congress district, which contains both the Folsom Lake College and the Gold Country Fairgrounds from Auburn to get a comment. Kiley or his team reacted after the ABC10 period, but this story is updated when and when a comment is made.
