in Traffic

Long-awaited repairs are underway on two sections of Moscow Road west of Monte Rio that washed out during extreme weather 4½ years ago and again during heavy rains earlier this year.

The $3.4 million project should be a relief to residents of Villa Grande and nearby neighbors, who have been hemmed in on the west by a road closure from 2019 and by washouts to the east from a series of atmospheric rivers in January.

But things are not always that easy.

Schulz Museum squares off against proposed Santa Rosa housing project, with parking at issue

Three of Santa Rosa’s most high-profile civic institutions, including the Charles M. Schulz Museum, are fighting a proposed apartment complex going up across the street over concerns that lack of parking and increased traffic could harm their business and the neighborhood.

The developer of 1650 W. Steele Lane hopes to transform the long-vacant 1-acre parcel into 36 apartments, and a state incentive has allowed the project to offer less parking on site than normally required.

Sonoma County outlines new blueprint to boost housing supply

in Housing

Facing a looming state deadline it is likely to miss, Sonoma County is advancing a new housing plan that would ground new projects near the region’s urban centers but could also spur development along parts of the lower Russian River and Alexander Valley.

The plan, called a housing element, identifies nine areas across unincorporated Sonoma County that could accommodate more housing within the next decade. The areas include Sonoma Valley, the outskirts of Santa Rosa and Cloverdale, and the lower Russian River stretching from Guerneville to Forestville.

The housing blueprints are required by state law of cities and counties every eight years and they have become a key pressure point for Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration as it seeks to hold local jurisdictions more accountable for housing production.

Sonoma County spent $40 million on road repairs in 2022

in Transportation

Sonoma County continues to chip away at a long line of paving projects across its vast rural road network, with roughly $40 million spent on road projects this year.

The county is responsible for 1,368 miles of roads outside cities — one of the largest systems across the Bay Area — and has repaved about 30% over the past 10 years, said Janice Thompson, the county’s deputy director of transportation and public works.

Local roads, typically residential roads that see less traffic compared to main or arterial roads, make up the bulk of the network, according to the county road division website. In 2020, the average condition of those local roads on a 0-100 pavement condition index was 37, which is categorized as “poor.”
