Reunification - Courthouse Sq.
Many residents believe that after Mendocino Ave. cut Santa Rosa's Courthouse Square in half, the square lost its identity as the central hub for the community and, in turn, it also lost its power to attract shoppers and tourists to the downtown area. They believe that by reunifying the square the downtown would be revitalized, and Santa Rosans would enjoy an improved local economy as well as a greater sense of community and a better quality of life. Of course, not everyone agrees.
