Subject – Letter of Appreciation
On Friday November 20, 2009, we observed the County of Marin Department of Public Works employees Jim Mayo, Travis Fleetwood and Steve Mitchell installing No Parking / Bike Path signs along Lucas Valley Road.
The signs were being installed along the Las Gallinas Avenue to Los Gamos Drive corridor of Lucas Valley Road. This is the corridor that we discussed with you and Supervisor Susan Adams on Thursday, November 12. Needless to say that we were delighted to see the no parking signs being installed. As we discussed during our meeting, parking along this corridor is a hazard to the safety of bicyclists and pedestrians who need to share the road with cars traveling by at 45 mph.
To see your staff, working in the rain on the edge of the road while 45 mph traffic is rushing by in order to get these measures of safety installed rather than delaying the work until a nicer day, encouraged us to write to you to express our appreciation for their dedication and hard work in very dangerous and unpleasant weather conditions.
The employee dedication demonstrated by Jim mayo, Travis Fleetwood and Steve Mitchell is not observed very often. Their effort should not go unrecognized. Please express to them the appreciation of our community.
