Dear San Marin
Neighbors,
Just want to
inform you of upcoming meetings for three ‘POTENTIAL’ projects in the San Marin
neighborhood:
Novato Blvd and
San Marin Drive Intersection, Comstock Commons (south/east corner of San
Andreas and San Marin Drive, the old Texaco Station Site) and San Andreas
School Site 2nd Neighborhood meeting.
1)
Novato Blvd and San Marin Drive Intersection, 6pm, Tuesday,
02/12, City Council Meeting. Item J.2.
This
is to request City Council’s approval for the staff to start studying traffic
concerns at the intersection of Novato Blvd and San Marin Drive and come up
with recommendations to address the concerns.
From Project Initiation Report - “The pedestrian and
bicyclist safety concerns identified in this project were first brought to the
City Engineer by San Marin High School ninth grade student, Ashley Leonard and
her Girl Scout Project Advisor, Paul LaPerriere. In addition, the Draft Novato
General Plan 2035 Update Traffic Analysis identified the intersection of Novato
Boulevard and San Marin Drive/Sutro Avenue as requiring traffic mitigation. The
City of Novato Engineering Division proposes to initiate a new Capital
Improvement Project to improve the intersection of Novato Boulevard and San
Marin Drive/Sutro Avenue.”
J. General Business.
