This Train, Undercrossing and S. R. Marathon

Jul 26, 2012 in Development & projects, Entertainment, Events, Miscellany

Things are changing around here! SMART is obviously moving forward… and soon we will have a brand new under crossing at 6th St. It will also provide an easier path to the SMART site and the Santa Rosa creek trail. W. 6th Street is slated to become a bike boulevard- this is a design that encourages heavy bike and foot traffic while allowing cars to share the road. Lots to do this weekend in addition to West End Bocce and Summer Movies at DeTurk Round Barn- see below.

Volunteer for the Santa Rosa Marathon. A brand new 5k course will be redesigned to run through the West End, downtown Santa Rosa and Railroad Square! It takes dozens of volunteers to help make the Santa Rosa Marathon a fun filled, festive and successful event. They are looking to fill key positions including course monitors, finish line aides, aid stations, medical personnel and other areas of need. If you are biting at the bit to help please contact: osarabi@fusionfitness.biz   5 K Map

Update of 6th Street Underpass– The underpass is a linkage for bicycles and pedestrians to connect from one side of downtown to other.  Construction is almost complete. PG&E will be energizing the lamp posts and other electrical features in this area on August 6, earlier than originally planned, to help address the concerns of the residents.  In the meantime Police will be making extra patrol visits to this area to check for any problems.

6th Street underpass- Almost done!
