Subject: Proposed No Left Tuns on Miller from Evergreen to go downtown Mill Valley 

FYI

 

Brian Spring on Linden Lane informs us that the City of Mill Valley is considering prohibiting making left turns from Evergreen Ave. onto Miller Ave. for all Homestead Valley traffic going downtown or over to East Blythedale. 

 

This will also impact those MHS drivers going to their homes in the City of Mill Valley. 

 

By this email Supervisor Kinsey and DPW Director are requested to inform us of the County's position  on this proposal and to ask Barton Ashman a nationally recognized traffic consultant to review and comment on this proposal.

 

I've also copied R. Huffman, a friend of mine a principal at WRT with Brian's concern.WRT SFO is the planning and urban design consultant for the City of Mill Valley's Miller Ave. project.

 

Perhaps this is an opportunity to review, plan and coordinate Homestead Valley's and Marin Horizon School's existing traffic circulation with the City of Mill Valley's Miller Ave. traffic plan, possibly eliminate all but local traffic use of Linden Lane, and require MHS vehicles to have the Environmental Initial Study and Use Permit required identiying "cling stickers" affixeed to their windshields.

 

See the attached letter.

 

Charles

Hi Charles.

We see each other at HV events, and at many meetings about the school a couple of years ago.   
 
I was at the Miller Ave Improvement meeting tuesday, and find that MV is intending to eliminate the left-turn from Evergreen to Miller ave.

I have written the attached letter.     I hope you find it amusing.       I am interested in bringing their intention to the attention of HV residents.     Hopefully, MV will drop the idea.    I have emailed the letter to kinsey, HVCA, HVLT, mari, and several others.  

I wonder where you fall on this issue?    Maybe i should write the IJ, or the Patch.

best,
Brian Spring
