Gaye LeBaron: Discussions over Santa Rosa Plaza nothing new

For over 35 years, many citizens have felt that downtown Santa Rosa has been divided by monolith called the Santa Rosa Plaza. Recently, the mall owner/manager Simon Property Group (aka the largest real estate company in the U.S.) while going through the City’s Design review process completely refuses to improve the situation in anyway. Read Gaye LeBaron’s fascinating look at the long running, infamous debate.

Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board – The S. R. City Council is seeking applications from interested citizens to fill one at-large position representing the Senior Community on the City’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board. BPAB provides City staff with input on the type of pedestrian and bicycle transportation projects that should be considered for commuting and what priority those projects should have.   Board meets on the third Thursday of every month from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at the City Hall Annex, 90 Santa Rosa Avenue. For more info or an application call (707) 543-3010, or visit the City’s website . Deadline on Thursday, March 22, 2012.  DOWNLOAD THE APPLICATION HERE

Last Bocce, 9th Street Mural
Author:
• Monday, September 19th, 2011
A few photos….

The last West End Bocce night of the season was well attended and the weather was cooperative. It was an evening with great food and company. We took our traditional last photo of the season…. thanks to Brian Howlett for taking our photo. To see more photos from bocce- go to Bocce 2011 in our photo gallery.

The 2011 West End Bocce photo

The 9th Street Mural Community has been completed except for the neighborhood names that will face each neighborhood.   We had over 30 volunteers help paint last Saturday!

The Mural Committee members: Denise Hill from St. Rose Neighborhood & Sher Ennis and Lea Barron-Thomas from West End Neighborhood started the project in the Summer of 2009. Their goal was to take a dark, uninviting space and make it friendlier and easy to maintain. It was a simple project but took a long time to get through the City of Santa Rosa Art in Public Places and CalTrans approval processes. We couldn’t have done it without  Tara Matheny-Schuster, Art Coordinator for City of Santa Rosa.

The Mural was funded by a City of Santa Rosa CAB grant. Mario Uribe created the design. ArtStart  was on hand to train the volunteers to use the stencils. We would also like to thank:  Our wonderful community volunteers. Friedman’s for graciously donating all the paint. The Coffee Girls for providing delicious coffee to our hardworking volunteers.   We couldn’t have done it with out you! THANK-YOU! For more photos go to 9th Street Community Mural.
