Central Sonoma Valley Bikeway

Larson Park to Highway 12

This is the first phase of a multi phased project as described in the Central Sonoma Valley Bikeway Plan Final Report dated November 15, 2001. The report identified a 2.76-mile conceptual bike/pedestrian pathway from Verano Avenue to Agua Caliente Road in the Sonoma Valley area. Please see Figure 3 titled “Preferred Alignment.” The pathway would provide pedestrians and bicyclists an alternative route to Highway 12.

For the first phase, the proposed pathway starts at Larson Park which is owned by the County, continues through Flowery Elementary School, and ends at Highway 12. Please see aerial plan titled “Central Sonoma Valley Bikeway – Draft.” The first phase has been split into two segments in order to build a portion of the bikeway while right of way issues near Flowery Elementary School are resolved. The first segment is located at Larson Park and the second segment is located at Flowery Elementary School. The construction of the Larson Park segment is scheduled for completion in May 2011.

The project is funded by Proposition 40 – 2002 Resources Bond Act, Transportation Development Act Article 3, and Measure M.
