As people stroll downtown, many don't realize they are not on solid ground. Some older sidewalks are hollow and date back to the mid-1800s when the city's surface level was elevated to prevent flooding.
Look closely, and you can still see signs of the old days.
Parts of the old brick archways are still visible along K Street and public underground tours are offered in Old Sacramento.
Pluckebaum said some of the old sidewalks are now at risk of crumbling and that the City of Sacramento is considering a new $1.2 million program to make repairs.
Previous repairs were the responsibility of property owners and had led to some uneven patchwork.
"We're just trying to stay ahead of the maintenance curve and get these things before they become a catastrophe," Pluckebaum said.
The money will go towards engineering and construction of the sidewalk repairs and comes from the city's gas tax.
