REPORT - PUBLIC OUTREACH FOR THE GREENWAY  
CONNECTIVITY STUDY  
BACKGROUND: City of Santa Rosa Transportation and Public Works  
staff are working on a study to determine the preferred way to link the  
existing Prince Memorial Greenway and the future Southeast Greenway  
multi-use paths. Staff received a federal Thriving Communities technical  
assistance grant to create a series of alternatives to present to the  
public and narrow down a preferred alternative to construct. The goal is  
to complete an entire east/west active transportation network across the  
city, leveraging existing multi-use paths to the west and the future  
Southeast Greenway in the east. Public outreach on the three  
alternatives is being conducted in June and July 2026.  
RECOMMENDATION: The Transportation and Public Works  
Department will present on the public outreach campaign for the  
Greenway Connectivity Study. This item is provided for information or  
for comments and no formal action will be taken.
