Mill Valley Celebrates 125 – Save the Date for the 125th Anniversary Celebration!!

Our intent for the celebration of the 125th Anniversary of the Incorporation of the City of Mill Valley is to bring our community together for a common awareness and commitment to this special town and surrounding community. As part of that effort, the Mill Valley 125th Anniversary Committee is sponsoring a series of articles by noted local historian and author Joyce Kleiner. These articles are intended to foster understanding, and pride, in Mill Valley’s history, and will focus on some of the people and events that shaped Mill Valley’s spirit of stewardship, volunteerism, and community involvement. Our efforts will culminate in a wide range events on Labor Day, Monday, September 1, 2025, including an historically-themed parade, live music, an ice cream social, screenings of historical videos, and tours of the Old Mill.

PG&E Hosted an Open House for Mill Valley Customers at the Mill Valley Community Center on Thursday, May 15. It Didn’t Go Well.

PG&E Hosted an Open House for Mill Valley Customers at the Mill Valley Community Center on Thursday, May 15. It Didn’t Go Well.

Staffers put up easels and posters on topics ranging from safely digging on one’s property to safer power grids. But in the lobby, residents whose homes overlook a big power station had their own easels and posters to protest PG&E’s local track record. Gary Batroff pointed to before-and-after photos of PG&E’s Alto substation on a bare hill above Hauke Park. He said the utility turned a green landscape into a barren one. “They cut down 130 trees in like two days,” Batroff said. “Some of them were redwoods, which are supposed to be protected.” Batroff pointed to another easel holding an illustration created by the utility five years ago showing what the substation’s landscaping was supposed to look like.

Marin IJ: Mt. Tamalpais Hiking Acclaimed in State Parks Poll And Insider’s Guide to Mount Tamalpais Hiking, Camping and Beyond

Marin IJ: Mt. Tamalpais Hiking Acclaimed in State Parks Poll And Insider’s Guide to Mount Tamalpais Hiking, Camping and Beyond

The state’s park system has 280 parks and about 5,200 miles of trails. The poll, conducted this spring, garnered more than 1,300 responses from the foundation’s members and supporters. Rachel Norton, the executive director of the foundation, said the effort was about introducing places to people who might not know about them. The survey featured 10 categories, including best for dog-friendly adventures, best for birdwatching, most kid-friendly, best for camping and best for wildflowers. “To people in San Francisco and in southern Marin, Mount Tam is not a secret, but it could be to someone from Southern California who is visiting the area for the first time, or somebody from the East Bay who hasn’t been over the bridge in a while,” Norton said.

Tiburon Boulevard Bike Lane Critics Fail to Deter Caltrans’ Efforts to Safely Connect Mill Valley, Tiburon and the Tiburon Ferry to the Benefit of Both Residents and Tourists

Tiburon Boulevard Bike Lane Critics Fail to Deter Caltrans’ Efforts to Safely Connect Mill Valley, Tiburon and the Tiburon Ferry to the Benefit of Both Residents and Tourists

At East Strawberry Drive, the right turn lane onto eastbound Tiburon Boulevard would be removed and the existing bus stop on Tiburon Boulevard would be relocated. Not all are happy with these changes. According to the Marin Independent Journal this week, there’s plenty of local opposition to additional bike safety measures in Tiburon. But despite local opposition, bike lanes will be added to both sides of Tiburon Boulevard when the road is upgraded next year. “The bike lanes will stay,” said Matt O’Donnell, a Caltrans spokesperson. “Can there be adjustments to the bike lanes? Yes, that’s a possibility. … But, for the most part, these are tweaks.”
