Crossing Hwy 101 In Petaluma: Residents Invited To Community Workshop

PETALUMA, CA — The city of Petaluma is conducting a study on how to improve bicycle and pedestrian safety and access when trying to travel from one side of town to the other and wants to hear from residents.

The public is invited to the city's upcoming 101 Crossings Community Workshop from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 29 at the Petaluma Community Center, 320 N. McDowell Blvd. The meeting will focus on ways to enhance crosstown travel for those walking, biking or rolling at these four locations:

• Corona Road
• Rainier Avenue
• Lynch Creek Trail
• Pedestrian Overcrossing (catwalk) at McKenzie Avenue

The Highway 101 Pedestrian and Bicycle Access Project studies how to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety at the four east-west highway crossing locations.

The city is seeking to hear about people's experiences and ideas and wants to share information it has gathered on the locations. Residents are encouraged to fill out this survey by March 17.

The study is funded by Measure M, the 2004 Traffic Relief Act for Sonoma County.

Project updates are posted to the webpage: cityofpetaluma.org/101crossings.
