An informational public meeting to present the Point San Pedro Road Roadway Modification Pilot Project is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 30 via Zoom. This virtual meeting will be hosted by the Marin County Department of Public Works (DPW) and the City of San Rafael Public Works, since the area being addressed by the pilot includes both City and County maintained roadway segments. The Zoom link for the March 30 informational meeting is http://marincounty-org-dpw.zoom.us/j/85405451314

In April, a section of Point San Pedro Road between Loch Lomond and Peacock Gap will be restriped during a pilot project to evaluate an alternative lane layout. The pilot project approach is unique in that it allows residents to experience a new road configuration and provide feedback before moving forward with final lane striping.
The pilot project will modify eastbound Point San Pedro Road between Loch Lomond Drive/Lochinvar Road and Riviera Drive, converting it from two lanes to a single lane. Based on traffic flow data, the two eastbound Point San Pedro Road lanes east of Loch Lomond Drive have been operating at about 25% flow capacity. Because of that available capacity, modifying that stretch of Point San Pedro Road to one lane is not expected to cause significant impacts to traffic flow. The lane modification will provide space for a safety buffer from the median and a buffered bike lane, while also retaining existing on-street parking between Bayview Drive and Main Drive, including along Bayside Park. No physical changes, such as curb or median locations, will be made. The westbound roadway will remain unchanged for the pilot.
Marin County Supervisor Damon Connolly, who represents residents in the affected area, is planning to host a listening session approximately three months after the start of the pilot to hear feedback. Another community meeting is planned for the end of the pilot, which is expected to be sometime in September, to present the data collected and discuss next steps.
