The Yolo Causeway is a 3.2-mile (5.2-kilometer) long elevated highway viaduct on Interstate 80 that crosses the Yolo Bypass floodway and connects the cities of Sacramento, California (specifically West Sacramento, California) and Davis, California.
The current causeway was built in 1962 and renamed the "Blecher-Freeman Memorial Causeway" after two California Highway Patrol officers who were shot to death in 1978 by an armed felon after a highway stop near the causeway.
The Causeway Classic College football game between the University of California, Davis and California State University, Sacramento and the Causeway Carriage trophy awarded to the winner of that game are both named after the Yolo Causeway.
CEC: Closed Canadian Parks - Stanley Park (910 words)
Little has surfaced on the park's early days, but the area began to be built up and by the turn of the century there were apparently large flower gardens, picnic areas, and swimming at places that became known as the "Second" and "Third" beaches.
This body of water lies on the western side of the causeway, is still called The Lost Lagoon, and is now a bird sanctuary.
Also established were an Aquarium, greenhouses to nurture flowers for this and other parks in the city (1930's), a zoo (closed in 1993, but there is still a petting zoo with domesticated animals), and a miniature railway that runs along a 12-minute route through towering cedars and douglas firs.
