Over 650 nominations were received, and a panel of judges selected two names: Etenesh Zeleke for the new West Sacramento Dock and 伊莎贝尔年代. 长久的 for the new name of the existing dock in 老国王.

Etenesh Zeleke, whose first name translates to “you are my sister,” was an immigrant from Ethiopia. She was nominated by her granddaughter who described her as being a “stream of hope” with many references to creating a community in West Sacramento near the river. Judges were inspired by her unique story of modern immigration, her love for her family and her connection to the river.

Background

In 1981, a personal operator installed steel pilings, 浮木船坞, 舷梯, and timber walkway from the top of the levee to the Sacramento River under a lease from the State Lands Commission (SLC). Originally serving as a personal dock, it went on to serve other uses, such as a mooring and boarding area for the tour boat Elizabeth Louise and stop for the River Otter Water Taxi Service. By 2000, the dock was in disrepair and in 2008 was deemed hazardous and all uses were discontinued.

自2011年以来, City staff took a series of extensive actions with federal, state and local partners to construct the new dock that would be open to the public. 这些行动, 等, included securing a new lease, 资金, 允许, construction and art for the new public dock.
