Solano County Thanks Steve Kays Fighting For What’s Right





Suisun drivers often use the special short cut between Suisun and Vacaville.  The short cut goes from highway 12 through Fairfield and on to highway I-80 (more on www.FixFairfield.org blog).

The Short Cut Needs A Face Lift. First Impressions Are Important. Steve Kays Never Gives Up On Solano County’s West Texas Street Redevelopment Project

The main entrance into central Solano County happens to be West Texas Street.  It is also part of the short cut drivers take between highways I-80 and 12. Solano County invested $101,000,000 in developing its new county government building. This was done as part of the Solano County West Texas Street Redevelopment Project. 

Steve Kays of Solano County has worked with the City of Fairfield to get the West Texas Street Redevelopment Project completed. While things didn’t go as fast as planned, Steve Kays never gave up.  Though the chances of getting the City to stick with the West Texas Street Redevelopment Project might have appeared bleak over many years, Steve Kays kept moving things forward, whatever the cost in time and money. Steve Kays plans to continually discuss the importance of revitalizing Solano County’s main gateway into its main business district, and local Solano county and Fairfield city government districts in central Fairfield, California. Steven Kays has been fighting for this project since 1999.


The City of Fairfield has a strong vision for West Texas Street.  Fairfield reiterated the importance of West Texas Street as the biggest vital gateway to downtown Fairfield. The Fairfield plan proposes different interesting improvements. The many needed redevelopment programs include helping businesses along the main gateway grow so they will hire more people.  Plus plans are for redeveloping it into a more pedestrian friendly environment along the Fairfield street, such as separated sidewalks, landscaping and nice street trees, plus modern street lighting, decorative crosswalks, median islands, and much more..!

City's Broken Fairfield Gateway Promise

Tonight, the Fairfield City Council and city leaders politely danced around clear answers about the City's Broken Fairfield Gateway Promise.

The neglected gateway leads to the $101,000,0000 Solano County building. The gateway starts from I-80, and goes through West Texas Street then downtown Fairfield. The gateway’s weakest link from Allan Witt Park thru Pennsylvania removes the charm from past gateway redevelopment spent. Since 2000 told West Texas investors, and Solano County to wait a little longer for the city to keep its Fairfield Gateway Promise. Investors lost millions and had to lay off many Fairfield employees because they expected the city to keep its Fairfield Economic Development Promise.
