Here's your local news at a glance for Wednesday, the 17th of September.
Good morning, Santa Rosa.
🎓 Education
Santa Rosa Junior College unveiled Rosco the Bear Cub's new costume for the school year—patchwork denim overalls made from recycled jeans by fashion students.
The update was shown at back-to-school events and received a warm local response.
🏛️ Government
Santa Rosa city officials are reviewing a proposal to close part of Fourth Street to vehicle traffic after decades of debate.
City Council has asked staff to study traffic and parking impacts — the findings will guide if the street becomes a pedestrian-only zone.
The Sonoma City Council will consider a second cannabis dispensary today—after a delayed permit request and calls from residents and a local advocacy group who said one store leads to high prices and few choices—with proponents expecting the change to boost the local economy and tax revenue.
Sonoma County will host a public meeting on September 25 at Altamira Middle School to gather input on a new environmental study for the former Sonoma Developmental Center property—this follows a judge's rejection of an earlier plan that proposed nearly 1,000 homes, a hotel and stores. Local groups and Sonoma Valley Next 100 have raised concerns about traffic and fire safety, and the new study is expected around the new year.
