Mill Valley’s Efforts to Replace the former Whole Foods Market on Miller Ave. Have Stalled Due to Amazon Layoffs – Whole Foods’ Lease Lasts Several More Years. The Mill Valley Market was selected by Amazon’s team – the Layoffs Stalled Those Efforts

Many residents find it hard to believe that Amazon—one of the richest companies in the world—couldn’t afford the necessary building updates. Mill Valley Mayor Stephen Burke sought to squash the idea that the City obstructed seismic retrofits that were necessary, and made it clear in a statement: ā€œThe City regrets the potential closure of the Whole Foods, which is an important community resource. The decision to close, if true, is based on business considerations that the City is not privy to. Further, other than issuing a permit for roof repairs, the City has imposed no further requirements or restrictions upon the property. In fact, this year City Council, the Planning Commission, and City Staff have dedicated themselves to updating and modifying parking, commercial codes, and other regulations with the goal of making the opening and operation of vibrant businesses easier.ā€

Clear Skies Ahead: County of Marin Allocates $2.2M for Strawberry Undergrounding Project – Bike Lanes Like in the Future!

The project involves building underground conduits for use by PG&E, AT&T and Comcast. It includes drilling horizontally under Highway 101. Construction will begin in early August and run though late October. Street parking will be limited during the project. The undergrounding will be followed by another phase that involves creating bike lanes, Moulton-Peters said.

ā€œThere’s been some initial work by the county looking at a bike path,ā€ she said. ā€œIt will potentially open up right of way space that could be used as a bike lane. That could be helpful for adults and older students who want to ride from Strawberry over the pedestrian overcrossing into Mill Valley to go to the middle school.ā€
