Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan 

The City of Santa Rosa created a Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan as a guide for the development of bicycle and pedestrian facilities through out the City. The original Plan was adopted by the City Council in 1994, revised in 2001 and is currently in the process of being updated with a draft plan completed in the winter of 2009.

Interest in bicycling and walking as an alternative mode of transportation continues to increase, particularly with regard to the pedestrian component. The City is attempting to create a more pedestrian friendly environment that will offer a level of convenience, safety and attractiveness for residents and visitors.

The current planning process encourages the Santa Rosa community to shape the future of pedestrian and bicycle facilities and amenities by contributing their suggestions to the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan update through a series of Public Meetings.
