Asking Tiburon Town Council to add wording from non-profit Transportation Alternatives of Marin (TAM) to the Tiburon Bike and Pedestrian Plan which would allow the town to STUDY the FEASIBILITY of a class 4 protected bikeway along Tiburon Boulevard from Blackie's Pasture to Mill Valley. This does not cost the Town of Tiburon money, but if the wording is not added to the plan, the feasibility can never be studied.

We need the Town to add the wording to the current plan, so that grant money can be awarded to do the Study.

Specific Language to be added:

4.1.4 Proposed Class IV - Separated Bicycle Route

"The Town of Tiburon Recognizes the Tiburon Boulevard from Blackie's Pasture to the Hwy 101 interchange is a primary route and potential future better route for cyclists if it were safer. The Town recognizes that only parts of Tiburon Blvd. from Blackie's Pasture to Hwy 101 interchange are within Town limits, however, Tiburon supports working with the County, Mill Valley, Caldrons and other agencies and jurisdictions to complete a Study to determine the feasibility of building a Class IV bike system from Blackie's Pasture to the Hwy 101 interchange along both sides of Tiburon Blvd. Examples of Class IV infrastructure are shown on page 10 of the current draft of the Tiburon Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. Further, in the section on Tiburon Blvd. from Blackie's Pasture to the intersection of Greenwood Cove Drive, Blackfield Drive and Tiburon Blvd, this Study could also evaluate a separate pathway on one side of Tiburon Blvd. and a Class IV on the opposite side of Tiburon Blvd. This is similar to what was studied in Segment 8 of the 2012 Bay Trail Gap Study with the addition of a Class IV path on the opposite side of Tiburon Blvd."
