Join us for a walking tour along the Santa Rosa Southeast Greenway and experience this 45+ acre urban oasis in its spring glory. Meet neighbors & friends, share your input, and learn more about a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to transform this former freeway right-of-way into a vital community asset filled with paths, gardens, forests, and more. After touring this gem, we think you'll agree that the Greenway is worthy of a place in Santa Rosa's "emerald necklace" of parks and open spaces.   Meet at Montgomery High School tennis courts. 5:30-7:30pm.  In partnership with LandPaths. 

On Valentine's Day campaign members made a brief presentation to the Santa Rosa City Council. To watch our presentation and the council's response, please check out the council meeting video here (agenda item 7.3 in left column).
In general, council members and staff are supportive of the greenway concept and want to know how much staff time and resources will be required for next steps. We will go back to council with that information after we meet with Caltrans this spring.

In June 2011, the American Institute of Architects sent a Sustainable Design Assessment Team (SDAT) of national consultants to Santa Rosa to help create  a vision for the Greenway.  After meeting with over 300 residents as well as state and local officials, the SDAT  consultants have weighed in.

Their final report,  Imagine . . .  A Greenway to Spring Lake and Beyond, offers a new and provocative vision for the old Highway 12 right-of-way.  You can download the report or view it online now.
