The purpose of the project is to reconstruct the most badly deteriorated sections of the Copeland Creek Bike
Path in order to restore utility and safety to this major part of Rohnert Park's. alternative transportation system.
The path serves residents, students and commuters traveling between commercial uses, neighborhood
services, multi- family housing, public facilities such as City Hall and three schools, including Sonoma State
University, which is also a major employer in Sonoma County. City staff regularly receive complaints from
citizens, University and school district staff, and students who use the Copeland Creek Bike Path and are
concerned about its condition.

By reconstructing the path and providing a smooth travel surface, project will restore ^utility and safety to the
most well - traveled, east -west alternative transportation facility in Rohnert Park: The aesthetics and safety of
the travel experience will also be enhanced with the removal of invasive, non- native species that now crowds
out existing native species, hides the views of the creek, creates path obstacles, and heightens perceptions of
compromised personal safety along the path.
