Green Lane Maps

Petaluma Green Lane has produced two versions of their Petaluma
Pedestrian and Bicycle Routes map. You can view them online, download and print them, or buy a high quality large print at your local bike shop for $2.

Petaluma Green Lane Trailside Map Kiosk Project

This is one of PGL's first projects. The Map kiosks containing the PGL
trail map and destination distance guides, to go along Petaluma's
growing network of multi-use paths (over 20 potential locations have
been identified.)

The kiosks are built by Petaluma High School woodshop students from long-lived sustainable Trex wood (recycled plastic and sawdust). Funding for materials will be donated by businesses, individuals (roughly $250 per unit.) Units will bear a plaque identifying the sponsor. In time, we hope to include artwork, poetry, and writing from local school children on the opposite side of the kiosks from the map.

The photo below left is of the first unit, located near pedestrian
bridge over Washington Creek at Prince Park. The shot on the right is of the second installation along the new Petaluma River Trail, at the
Payran bridge. That's Petaluma Mayor David Glass on the right.
