Thurs., July 28, 6:00 – 7:30PM – Community Meeting to Discuss Downtown Parking

The City has hired Nelson/Nygaard, a consulting firm that specializes in transportation and parking planning, to analyze current parking conditions, assess future demands and develop both an implementation plan for progressive parking strategies throughout downtown and a Railroad Square Parking Management Plan.

A public meeting will be held on Thursday, July 28 from 6:00 – 7:30PM at the De Turk Round Barn, 819 Donahue St. Nelson/Nygaard in conjunction with City Staff will present information regarding the two elements of the study and seek input from the public on the various strategies that will be discussed.

 

Fri., Aug 5th – Santa Rosa Avenue through Courthouse Square to Close!

No notice to residents from the city and nothing posted on the city’s website, but it appears (based on a few signs on Mendocino Avenue) the city will be closing Courthouse Square to through traffic starting August 5. That means southbound traffic crossing College Avenue will be directed to alternate routes, one them through our neighborhood on Healdsburg and B Streets. BE PREPARED for a LOT more traffic in this area. Pedestrians and cyclists should be extra cautious. Please stay safe.
