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.”

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.
