| Existed | 1972–present[1] |
County Route E14 is a major east–west arterial thoroughfare that connects the California cities and communities of Sacramento, Rio Linda, North Highlands, Foothill Farms, Citrus Heights, Orangevale and Folsom.
Route description[]
County Route E14 begins on Elkhorn Boulevard at the interchange with State Route 99 north of Sacramento. It starts out as a two-lane roadway, skirting the northern end of the North Natomas development of Sacramento. As it enters the rural community of Rio Linda, the roadway expands to four lanes and remains at least four lanes throughout the remainder of the route. The landscape changes from rural to suburb as it passes through North Highlands and Foothill Farms, where the roadway expands to six lanes at Don Julio Boulevard. As it reaches the interchange with Interstate 80, the route becomes Greenback Lane. Shortly thereafter, it enters the city of Citrus Heights and remains in the city for 3.5 miles (5.6 km). As it exits Citrus Heights and into the community of Fair Oaks, the roadway is reduced to four lanes as it reaches its terminus at Hazel Avenue (County Route E3) in Orangevale. The roadway itself continues as Greenback Lane towards the city of Folsom.
History[]
The name "greenback" refers to the use of paper money for financial transactions at a time when gold and silver coin was the preferred rate of exchange. The property that Greenback Lane lies on was bought with greenback dollars (United States Note). The owner is said to have wished to be paid with coin, and became angered when he was not, hence the name "Greenback Lane."[citation needed]
"Greenback Lane has a very interesting origin. Previous to 1873, the inhabitants of Haggin Grant District had only the narrow, stony trails leading through the dense timberlands to serve as outlets from their homesteads. The discomfort and disadvantages wrought by these crude by-ways impelled the farmers to demand a main road. A county survey determined the amount of land necessary to grant the demand of the land holders. In settling with Mr. Cornelius Donohue, a large land owner, for the road land, a dispute arose as to the medium of exchange. Mr. Donahue insisted that his portion of the land be paid for in "greenbacks", for it was neither safe nor convenient to carry a large sum of coin in those days. It was no easy matter for the county to secure such a large number of greenbacks; nevertheless, they were still requested. After months of discussion, Mr. Donahue won his point, and the land was paid for in greenback notes. From this incident, the highway has been named "Greenback Lane."" San Juan High School Yearbook 1925 "Greenback Notes", Page 28 [5]
Construction to expand Greenback Lane between Dewey Drive/Van Maren Lane and Auburn Boulevard in Citrus Heights from four to six lanes was completed in 2008, creating an entirely six lane thoroughfare within the city of Citrus Heights.[6][7]
