To Mayor Stapp and Councilmembers:
I urge you to support the 101 overcrossing for bicycles and pedestrians, even in the face of higher costs. In a city bisected by this major freeway, the OC would support those who use more climate-friendly transportation and would align with Santa Rosa's climate emergency resolution by reducing vehicle miles traveled.
Thank you

Dear Councillors,
I’m writing to urge your support for the Highway 101 bike/ped crossing. It’s just going to get more expensive if we delay it. There’s no question of the need.
Respectfully,
Mary Davies, Petaluma

Santa Rosa Junior College Statement of Continued Support for the Highway 101 Bicycle and Pedestrian Overcrossing
Santa Rosa Junior College continues to strongly support the Highway 101 Bicycle and Pedestrian Overcrossing and urges the City Council to move forward with this project.
For SRJC, this overcrossing is a long-planned and critical piece of infrastructure that directly supports student access, safety, and mobility. Highway 101 remains a significant barrier between where many students live, work, and access essential services and SRJC’s Santa Rosa campus. Existing east–west crossings at Steele Lane and College Avenue are heavily trafficked, present real safety challenges for people walking and biking. Many SRJC students, faculty, and staff rely on these routes daily.
The overcrossing would provide a safer, more direct alternative for active transportation, improving access to campus, nearby student housing, transit connections, and community education opportunities. It supports SRJC’s ongoing collaboration with the City to promote circulation, active transportation, and reduced reliance on automobiles around the campus.
Beyond the college, the project strengthens connectivity between neighborhoods on both sides of Highway 101 and advances shared community goals around safety, equity, and mobility. It improves access to schools, jobs, parks, healthcare, and transit while addressing known safety concerns along corridors identified in local and regional safety plans. The benefits of this project extend well beyond SRJC, serving residents of surrounding neighborhoods who depend on safe pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure.
SRJC recognizes the fiscal considerations before the City Council and appreciates the complexity of balancing multiple infrastructure needs. At the same time, we believe this project represents a lasting investment in student success, community safety, and long-term connectivity. Its value will endure over time and contribute to a safer, more accessible Santa Rosa for students and residents alike.
Santa Rosa Junior College respectfully encourages the City Council to continue advancing the Highway 101 Bicycle and Pedestrian Overcrossing and reaffirm its commitment to safe, equitable transportation solutions for our community.

Hi City Council-
Yes, please do continue with the bike and pedestrian overcrossing at Jennings. It won’t get any cheaper, and past projects and decisions have chopped up Santa Rosa into a sad rat maze without good traffic flow between areas. It needs to be united, and people and bikes need safe and sane routes to travel.
Thanks,
