The Southeast Greenway is an urban park on the eastern edge of Santa Rosa, California. Beginning in the 1950s, land was purchased by the California Department of Transportation to build a freeway alignment for California State Route 12 through eastern Santa Rosa. As local awareness of climate change shifted priorities toward active transportation alternatives, the city purchased the land to build a 2-mile (3.2 km) pedestrian and bicycle path from the eastern end of the route 12 freeway to Spring Lake Regional Park. [1] Land adjacent to this active transportation corridor will be used for water supply and utility infrastructure with space for community gardens, dog parks, disc golf, sports courts, fields, and playgrounds.
