Highway 65 

The northern segment of State Route 65 begins at the interchange with Interstate 80 in Roseville as a freeway heading northwest to Blue Oaks Boulevard where the freeway turns north towards Lincoln. It turns northwest briefly onto a new stretch of roadway at Industrial Avenue/Lincoln Boulevard (the state route's former alignment) where it then turns west as the freeway ends at Nelson Lane. After passing through Wheatland, it assumes its freeway designation a few miles north of the town, ending at State Route 70.

Development Opportunities on City-Owned Surplus Lands

When the City of Lincoln declares a property as “surplus land” pursuant to the State Surplus Land Act (SLA), the Lincoln City Council will make a declaration of surplus during a public hearing. Following the declaration of surplus, the City must provide a Notice of Availability to eligible entities, including the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), any local public entity within the jurisdiction where the surplus local land is located, and developers who have notified HCD of their interest in developing affordable housing on surplus local land.
