Lower Russian River Trail Study
As part of this planning effort, we would like to conduct brief (15 minute or less) informal phone interviews of residents that fit one or more of the following stakeholder profiles:
• Family with kids living in the Russian River area who bicycle regularly
on road or trails
• Senior citizen/couple living in the Russian River area who bicycle
regularly on road or trails
• A driver living in the Russian River area who is worried about hitting a
cyclist on Highway 116 or River Road
• A Sonoma County resident who regularly visits the Russian River area,
but lives somewhere else in the county
If you fit any of the above profiles and are willing to answer a few questions over the phone, please respond to this email with your availability between September 3rd and September 5th, along with the profile(s) that you fit, and a phone # where we can reach you.
This information will be included in the plan, and supplement the public input we’ve received through the online survey.
