A meeting potentially very relevant to those concerned about the High Density Housing in Marinwood/Lucas Valley is occurring this Thursday, 7pm at
the Marin Civic Center, details below. If you can make time this looks like
a very interesting meeting where the dots are likely to be joined on how One
Bay Area Funding is being released and controlled - the money trail may be
revealed...
It is important that local Marinwood/Lucas Valley Citizens start showing up at these meetings and voice your concerns. Remember, these are the ABAG funding grants that caused the Board of Supervisors to "sell out" Marinwood/Lucas Valley to developers. They are hoping you will stay home and don't bother.

Proposed project:
Marinwood Village
Redevelopment
TLC There are two major components to the project: 1) reducing the width of the Marinwood Ave right of way, which is currently 89' and
vastly oversized for the neighborhood context; and 2) intersection improvements at Marinwood Ave and Miller Creek Rd, to
signalized or control traffic by means of a roundabout. The goal of the project is to ensure strong pedestrian and vehicular
connections to the redeveloped Marinwood Plaza Shopping Center, a roughly 5 acre infill site in unincorporated Marin County. One
of the keys to realizing the vision of a neighborhood village is to change the character of public right of ways to transform them into
inviting, walkable, bikable avenues, that also adequately handle vehicular traffic and parking.
