Happy Sunday, Sacramento! Here's everything you need to know going on locallytoday. First, today's weather: Clouds and sunshine. High: 65 Low: 38. Here are the top five stories today in Sacramento: The city of Sacramento launched the Sacramento Get Vaccinated campaign this week and groups are already getting on board for the cause. When looking at the county's vaccination tracker, there are specific communities where people have been less likely to get out and get vaccinated – those numbers mirror the communities with the most cases. The city says it wants to find representatives to go there and get those vaccination numbers up. "We still have over a third of our residents not vaccinated, a lot of whom are African American and Latino residents,"explained Lynette Hall, the city of Sacramento's Community Engagement Manager. "And so this is a very highly targeted, very specialized campaign." (FOX40) Westbound I-80 at the Yolo Causeway was closed Friday afternoon after a chase ended in multiple collisions and attempted carjackings, Sacramento police said. Police responded to multiple calls of shots fired and a suspect committing a carjacking. A police helicopter was able to locate the person as they drove the stolen vehicle at a "high rate of speed" on Interstate 80. Police said the person driving the stolen vehicle collided with multiple cars near the Yolo Causeway, causing multiple people minor injuries. (FOX40) Extensive renovation of the 15-acre Sunrise Village shopping plaza in Citrus Heights continues, with several restaurants and stores planning to open in March. According to Sunrise MarketPlace Executive Director Kathilynn Carpenter, a new Firehouse Subs restaurant and Starbucks drive-thru will open "toward the end of March," taking up two spots in a new building near the corner of Sunrise Boulevard and Madison Avenue. Joann Fabrics will also be closing its existing store and moving to a new space in the center next month.
