FREE RANGE KENTUCKY
A PETALUMA PILOT PROJECT
EVERY SUNDAY,
LET THE STREET
BE FOR PEOPLE.
Free Range Kentucky is a proposal for a six-month pilot pedestrian zone every Sunday on Kentucky/Fourth Streets from B to Washington Streets.
WHAT IT IS
A SIX-MONTH TRIAL, SIX BLOCKS, ONE DAY A WEEK.
For six months, one Sunday at a time, cars step aside so people can take over — walking, biking, sidewalk seating, kids playing in the street.
Cross streets stay open for connecting traffic. And the trial is bounded, and reversible to see whether pedestrianization benefits Petaluma residents, businesses, and visitors.
No permanent construction. No guesswork. Just a real, measurable test of what downtown Petaluma could feel like with people, not cars, in the middle of it.
WHY IT MATTERS
WHY HAVE A PEDESTRIAN ZONE IN OUR DOWNTOWN?
PROOF IT WORKS
IT’S WORKING IN CITIES LIKE OURS — AND CITIES MUCH BIGGER.
From large cities to small, centering people over cars in public space has consistently paid off for the businesses and residents around it.
