PROJECT NEWS: MILL VALLEY/CORTE MADERA CORRIDOR STUDY

NTPP Project #2720

This project will study the three alternative routes between Mill Valley and Corte Madera, including (1) the Horse Hill/Alto Hill Pathway and connecting roadways, (2) reopening the Alto Tunnel for bike/ped use, and (3) the Camino Alto/Corte Madera Avenue on-street route. The connection between Corte Madera and Mill Valley was identified as one of the top priority projects in the county, based on public input in the 2006 Marin County Bicycle Plan Update public workshops. Currently, bicyclists use either Camino Alto or the U.S. 101 “Horse Hill” bike path via local neighborhood streets.

While most of the corridor is in incorporated Mill Valley or Corte Madera, sections of the project are located within the unincorporated “Alto Area,” which is situated at the northeast edge of Mill Valley. Furthermore, the County of Marin owns portions of the Alto Tunnel and its approaches. The County of Marin is the lead agency on this multi-jurisdictional corridor study and will work closely with staff from Mill Valley, Corte Madera and County Parks & Open Space.

Public Meetings

There will be two public workshops for this project – one in early 2009 and one in mid 2009. The first public workshop will be an opportunity for interested parties to review the project scope, existing conditions, and provide input and comments for each of the three alternative routes being studied. The second workshop will review and confirm recommendations for improvements to each of the three alternative routes.

Notices for upcoming and past public meetings will be posted here as soon as they are available.
