Help Design Downtown Petaluma

Do you have ideas about how to make the area around the railroad depot station downtown more attractive? Do you envision a tree-lined plaza, shops, live-work spaces or some combination of all three?

Here’s your opportunity to stop dreaming and roll up your sleeves. This week, the city will hold nightly workshops and an open studio at the Petaluma Community Center to give you—the community—a chance to sound off the design of this area.

This is an exciting chance to learn what's happening and provide input as a multi-disciplinary team of planners, architects, engineers, and economists collaborate with citizens, city staff, and city officials to help bring forth a vision that will guide future development.
