2 issues in roads with high priority
Old Redwood Highway Complete Streets Project (Arata Lane to Windsor Road)
The town locked in $7.65 million of state grant money and a GHD design contract to add sidewalks, protected bike lanes, crosswalks and better bus stops along a busy stretch of Old Redwood Highway. Design wraps next year, with construction possibly in 2028. Staff warned construction costs may force scope adjustments.
Sonoma County Transit Route Changes (MASCOTS Phase II)
SCT plans to suspend the Route 62, launch a 60X express from the Windsor SMART station, and stop routing the 60 to Walmart — instead requiring a transfer to the 66. Councilmembers worried about seniors, disabled residents and shoppers carrying groceries, and pressed SCT to reconsider Walmart and Raley's stop changes.
