The Point San Pedro Road Coalition is a non-profit organization representing the interests of residents and neighborhood associations along the Point San Pedro Road corridor in east San Rafael, California. It was formed in 1999 to represent the community on matters related to the S.R. Rock Quarry and associated transportation issues. Over the past two decades, the Coalition’s role has expanded to include advocacy and education on environmental, land use, emergency preparedness, health and safety and other issues that directly affect this community. For more information on the Coalition, see the About Us menu above.
