Waterways Advisory Board Meeting - July 16, 2026

The City of Santa Rosa Waterways Advisory Board met on July 16, 2026, to discuss various creek restoration projects, community events, and the Greenway Connectivity Study. While no formal procurement actions such as contract awards or vendor selections were reported, the meeting included updates on ongoing environmental restoration efforts, including planting over 10,000 plants and trash cleanup initiatives. The board also received a detailed presentation on the Greenway Connectivity Study, which aims to improve pedestrian and bicycle connections between key greenways in the city. The study presented three alternatives for infrastructure improvements, including protected bike lanes and neighborhood greenways, with an emphasis on community input via an online survey. Discussions touched on potential impacts such as parking loss and maintenance responsibilities, but no specific budget allocations or contract approvals were made during this meeting. The board encouraged public participation in the survey to guide future project planning and design.
