Paragary Pathway
A Tribute to a Midtown Visionary
Paragary Pathway is a new lighting experience transforming the Midtown Sutter District with 80+ trees wrapped in warm, ambient LED lights along 28th Street and a portion of 29th Street from J to O streets. Inspired by the path Randy Paragary took to and from work, the project brings light and energy to the streetscape while creating a more welcoming and inviting experience for those who live, work, and visit Midtown.
Announced at Randy’s funeral and made possible through the generosity of family, friends, and major donors, including Senator Angelique Ashby’s office securing $200K in funding for this project through a CNRA grant in partnership with the City of Sacramento, Paragary Pathway is a tribute to Randy’s lasting influence on Midtown and his belief in creating places that bring people together. Commemorative plaques at either end of 28th Street will bookend the project, honoring Randy’s legacy and the many lasting contributions he made to the neighborhood.
Beyond honoring Randy, Paragary Pathway represents an investment in the future of Midtown—using lighting and placemaking to activate the public realm, encourage pedestrian activity, and help create a safer, more vibrant experience throughout the district.
