K Street (Sacramento)

K Street is a historic street in Sacramento, CA. It spans from Old Sacramento, through Downtown Sacramento and Midtown Sacramento, ending in East Sacramento. It is a primary shopping, dining and entertainment street for Downtown, Midtown, and Old Sac. Department and other large stores that once lined K Street included: Breuner's, , Hale's, S. H. Kress & Co., Roos/Atkins, Montgomery Ward and Sears. Cinemas included the Crest, the Senator, the Hippodrome and nearby, the Alhambra.

The path of the street roughly (but not exactly) follows the line from Old Sacramento to Sutter's Fort, which existed as a trail before Sacramento was founded.K Street was closed to all automobile traffic between 1969 and November 12, 2011, between 13th Street and Westfield Downtown Plaza. In November, 2012, the K Street Mall was rebranded "The Kay", and now functions as a shopping area. In May 2014, the Sacramento city council approved a public subsidy deal to build a downtown arena. The re-use of the failing Downtown Plaza shopping mall was seen as a possible catalyst to bring revenue and people to Downtown. Today, K Street is undergoing re-development, with many businesses still active.

Department and other large stores that once lined K Street included: Breuner's, , Hale's, S. H. Kress & Co., Roos/Atkins, Montgomery Ward and Sears. Cinemas included the Crest, the Senator, the Hippodrome and nearby, the Alhambra.
