County-funded W-Trans study to examine pedestrian and bike safety in Monte Rio

Monte Rio Recreation & Park District Facilities and Safety Committee · February 4, 2026

Summary

Committee members reviewed a W-Trans active-transportation study of Monte Rio that will examine pedestrian and bicycle safety around the triangle, Main Street and the Creekside Skatepark; the study excludes the bridge approach to Fir Street and will include community input when completed.

The Monte Rio Recreation & Park District Facilities and Safety Committee discussed a W-Trans study commissioned by Sonoma County to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety in downtown Monte Rio and adjacent recreation areas. Committee members were informed the study focuses on the triangle, Main Street and the Creekside Skatepark approaches but does not include the bridge to Fir Street.

Brian Grant and Stephanie Felch presented the study overview and confirmed the draft will be provided to the District and included in the February 9 board packet for information. The committee heard that community input will be sought after the study’s completion; no formal action or endorsement was taken at the committee meeting.

Why it matters: the study targets areas used by pedestrians, cyclists and park visitors and could inform future capital improvements or signage. The committee asked that the item remain informational until the county publishes the full study and solicits public comment.
