Foss Creek Pathway Plan Guidelines identify qualitative design objectives and design
solutions that meet these objectives. For example, the Land Use
Code identifies how many parking spaces a given project must
provide. The Guidelines, however, provide solutions for designing
a parking area to facilitate pedestrian mobility, safety, site
integration, stormwater management and other design objectives.

Foss Creek Pathway Plan
This Plan establishes design standards for the construction of
the Foss Creek Pathway, which runs alongside the Northwestern
Pacific Railroad and Foss Creek between Front Street and the
city’s north boundary. This pathway will complete a 4.1-mile
bicycle and pedestrian facility through the city by connecting
to an existing bike lane on South Healdsburg Avenue. The Foss
City of Healdsburg
Creek Pathway will link major destinations within the city, including
employment centers, recreation areas, Downtown and residential
neighborhoods. Its location along Foss Creek will also provide

enhanced access to this natural feature.

Healdsburg Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan
The Healdsburg Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan was
developed as a component of the Sonoma County Transportation
Authority (SCTA) 2008 Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Master
Plan, but is also used as a standalone document by the City of
Healdsburg. It assesses the needs of bicyclists and pedestrians in
Healdsburg, identifies physical and programmatic improvements
to support walking and biking, qualifies the City for various
funding programs and acts as a resource when coordinating local
and regional projects.
