The blockade pretty much enables one restaurant the addition of 5-8 tables that are often not in use and the signage is incredibly ugly. I think our community should support all businesses — not just one restaurant. The parking space push outs are great. The blockade is not.

The City needs to balance the needs of the restaurants and the retailers - they are all struggling but the retailers appear to be having a tougher time of it. More efforts should be made to assist them.

Support equal treatment of all Mill Valley businesses.
Road closure means unequal treatment.
Let's restore fairness.

I work here in Beautiful Mill Valley my view is of large concrete dividers and orange cones with confusing signs. Causes confusion with traffic and pedestrians. Make Mill Valley a destination again for our businesses that have been greatly affected from this street closure and bring back the beautiful view we have always had here.

Hey,
I think you could adjust the parking lines in front of Margaret O'Leary or any retail establishment to allow folks to pull in park and shop. Tough times, take extraordinary measures. We want to support our retailers all possible ways. From our local yoga studio Red Dragon Yoga owner. Stephanie Schreiber

While the street closure is nice for those who want to have unlimited “capacity” it impacts those businesses who have been pillars in the community and driven tourism and revenue for many many years. This is another example of how the smallest of small businesses get pushed to the side as low priority. In this case, just so lattes can be served and tables can be set up that half the time don’t even have patrons.

I visited downtown Mill Valley last weekend. The traffic and parking were both very difficult, to the point that I considered turning around and leaving back to the 101.

I am concerned about the merchants inside the blockade and traffic flow in general impeding our economy in Mill Valley further.

This is drastically hurting my foot traffic at Sprout San Francisco, a family business on Miller Ave.

I am avoiding downtown these days because of the traffic caused by these road closures. Now that covid numbers are down and out-of-towners returning in droves, I hope we can return the downtown streets to normal traffic conditions. The current road closure disadvantages non-restaurants by limiting parking. It prevents me easy access to Mill Valley Market. Perhaps those restaurants could create "parklets" restricted to the parking immediately in front of their establishments. That seems like a fair compromise.
