Tam Valley Garden Talk Series
March 23rd 10am
The Cabin - 60 Tennessee Valley Road

Join our PARC Commissioner, Michael Bogart, for the first in a series of Garden Talks. This casual garden series will start with a topic and information shared by our expert and then flow from there. It's a chance to share your experience with your friends and neighbors and to learn from each other.

The topic will be "What to do in your garden before spring has sprung"

We'll have tea and coffee to share, great conversation and a healthy dose of inspiration for your garden planning this spring.

Michael is currently the Garden Manager at Marin Art and Garden Center and offers a similar series in Ross. We are lucky to have his expertise right here in Tam Valley.

Sea Level Rise Project Meeting
March 28th
6-7:30pm
Hosted by Caltrans at the Tam Valley Community Center
Hybrid Meeting - log on or attend in person

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is hosting this meeting to inform the public of this new project that will reduce flooding and address sea-level rise in and around the Manzanita Park & Ride as well as Marin City.

Caltrans proposes to enhance access and mobility by addressing recurring flooding and sea-level rise impacts that affect State Route 1 (SR-1), US-101 and the Manzanita Park & Ride lot in the Richardson Bay area. The funding for this project has yet to be identified; however, this project is eligible for federal aid. The environmental stage is scheduled for the winter of 2024 once funding is secured, and Caltrans is scheduled to circulate the Draft Environmental Document (DED) externally in the summer of 2027.

If you have a question or want to find out more, please come to this hybrid public meeting on Thursday, March 28, 2024, between 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at the Tam Valley Community Center 203 Marin Ave. Mill Valley, CA. 94941.


You can also email our project email at ManzanitaProject@dot.ca.gov.

On Saturday, March 23, the County’s Office of Emergency Management will conduct a countywide test with a 10:00 am notification sent to opted-in cell phones, landlines, and emails of those registered for AlertMarin.org.

AlertMarin is the county's primary system to alert residents of an urgent need to evacuate, shelter in place, or take some other protective action.
 
All who live or work in Marin County are encouraged to sign-up to receive emergency alerts ahead of the test. Those already registered are asked to sign-in and manage their account by verifying their contact information is up to date. Once a person registers with AlertMarin, information can be updated at any time about the registrant’s contacts, a child’s school, a workplace, or a relative’s home.
 
It only takes about 10 minutes to register for a service that could save your and your families life in the event of a major disaster.

Register now on AlertMarin.org.
