Enterprise staff writer Over the years, newspapers have changed in size and scope. Some have evolved into online-only products while enough old-school readers remain to keep print editions alive across the nation. Among the newspapers to be the last standing, industry experts say, will be community publications like The Davis Enterprise. Smaller local papers not only serve to inform their readers about events in their backyards — ranging from breaking news to weddings and sports to garage sales — they also offer a proving ground for upand-coming journalists. Such has been the case at The Davis Enterprise, with former scribes, editors and interns having plied their trade from the San Jose Mercury News and the Sacramento Bee to The New York Times and beyond. Many of The Enterprise alums have matriculated from the Davis High school newspaper, The Hub. It’s a relationship that has been alive for decades, and thanks to the pandemic, has now been married in print as The Davis Enterprise publishes a weekly page on Wednesdays produced by The Hub staff. “We’re just thrilled with the partnership,” Enterprise editor Sebastian Oñate said. “Davis High’s student journalists do marvelous work, and we’re proud to be able to showcase it through the rest of the school year and beyond.” Enterprise publisher Taylor Buley said the idea was a natural outgrowth of the “News Cycle” podcast, on which the Hub and

SACRAMENTO — Typically, T. Doe and her four roommates weren’t home on the weekends, the UC Davis students instead traveling to the Bay Area to visit their families. But Doe and another roommate stayed behind during the weekend of Jan. 24-25, 1997, both wanting to WALLER Arrested in study for crucial 2018 exams they had the following Monday. “I was very nervous and scared,” T. Doe said about sleeping alone in the bedroom she normally shared with two of her roommates. So she kept all the lights on and, as she usually did, checked the window and door locks before going to bed. But for some reason, T. Doe overlooked the living-room window at the front of the Adams Street apartment before heading to her upstairs bedroom around 11 p.m. At one point, she heard a loud “jumping noise,” but figured it had come from a neighboring apartment. “A few minutes later, I saw a person standing next to my bed,” T. Doe said. He was “very tall,” she recalled, wearing a black beanie that covered his

Enterprise staff writer The Davis City Council on Tuesday unanimously approved construction of a mixed-use project in South Davis. The project will bring housing and additional office space to University Research Park, which is already home to Novozymes Inc., Bioconsortia Inc. and Marrone Bio Innovations, among others. Developer Mark Friedman of Fulcrum Property said the housing is aimed at

individuals already working in the research park as well as employees of businesses considering moving there. Located on 4.5 acres north of the Holiday Inn Express on Research Park Drive, the project will feature a complex of four buildings, each containing four floors of apartment units over a ground floor of office and technology space. The buildings will surround an open courtyard. All told, the project will bring 26,912 square feet of

In describing the goals of the project to the council on Tuesday, Friedman praised the success of University Research Park — which Fulcrum acquired from Interland LLC in 2015 — and the kinds of businesses it has lured, calling them “the finest mix of R&D companies anywhere in our region.” But, Friedman said “our

Enterprise staff writer The city of Davis has a path forward for fixing its worst-in-the-region roads and bike paths under a plan approved by the City Council on Tuesday. The plan was devised by a subcommittee of Councilman Dan Carson and Mayor Gloria Partida — along with city staff and consultants — and aims to bring roads and bike paths up to the standards set by the city back in 2013. Not only was that goal — a pavement condition index of 63 for roads and 68 for bike paths — not met, but in January the council learned conditions had deteriorated to a PCI of 57 for roads and 52 for bike paths. The city’s roads, the council

was told, were worse than every other city in the area, including that of Winters, Woodland, West Sacramento, Dixon and Sacramento. Carson and Partida were tasked with finding a way to turn things around and pay for it. Their recommendations, approved unanimously Tuesday, include a plan for funding the estimated $84 million cost over the next 10 years in part through a combination of increased General Fund money, unallocated funds from other projects, community enhancement funds and more. About $53 million is already available for the work, Carson said, leaving a
