Safe Passage Along Lucas Valley Road 

A few years ago a group of citizens in north San Rafael formed a group called Safe Passage for Lucas Valley Road and worked tirelessly to get the installation of a sidewalk (where there was none) on the south side of Lucas Valley Road between Las Gallinas and Los Gamos Road. The City and County Public Works departments worked collaboratively to bring this project to life, with the County successfully securing funding through several sources.  This will be a great improvement for pedestrian safety and is a wonderful example of our community volunteers in action!

 

Construction is progressing at a fast pace

The piling for the sidewalk and handrail support is now installed.

The first thing they had to do:

Monday morning, September 10, 2012 the construction of the sidewalk for Safe Passage along Lucas Valley Road begins with cutting back the shrubbery so that the construction crews will have access to the planned sidewalk location.
