Planning Commission — October 8, 2026
A speaker reminded the commission that land deeded to the city 15 years ago along Roseland Creek was supposed to include a south-side bike path that has never been built, framing it as part of a pattern of neglecting southwest Santa Rosa.
City Council — July 28, 2026
A $750,000 donation from the Sonoma Land Trust will help pay for planning the Southeast Greenway, a park and trail project on the old freeway right-of-way.
City Council — July 14, 2026
The council added $2 million in contingency to the Route 101 bike and pedestrian overcrossing, bringing the contract to nearly $39.6 million. Some residents, including Duane DeWitt, called the price tag for a freeway bike bridge stunning.
Planning Commission — July 9, 2026
The city wants to close the missing link between the Prince Memorial Greenway downtown and the future Southeast Greenway, creating a full east-west car-free path across town. Three route alternatives are on the table and the public is voting via survey — over 500 responses already. Commissioners are being asked to spread the word and take the survey themselves.
We'll email you when it's on an upcoming agenda and when it's voted on, at most once a day.
