The West County - Joe Rodota Trail was primarily constructed
along abandoned railroad right of way, with the railroad bridges and
retaining walls being built in the early 1900's. The bridges were modified for
pedestrians and bicyclists and opened to the public in 1990.
The 13-mile trail
is popular with pedestrians and bicyclists for recreation and commuting because
it links Santa Rosa, Sebastopol, Graton and Forestville.
Cost & Funding
The County secured $770,000 from the One Bay Area Grant 2 program to fund the bridge replacements. The County is also contributing $100,000 in local funds towards the project for a total costs of $870,000.
