The following construction projects are planned to be done in San Anselmo over the next several months:

• Construction on San Anselmo Avenue between Ross and Bolinas Avenues began on Monday, April 19. We will be repaving San Anselmo Avenue and a small portion of Ross Avenue. The initial work will be installing ADA compliant curb ramps at each intersection and performing storm drain repairs on Mariposa Avenue. The actual paving work will take place the last week of April, depending on the weather.
• Street paving work on Medway and Maple Lane is scheduled to take place beginning in June. The work will also include installation of ADA compliant curb ramps and limited replacement of curb and gutter to improve drainage.
• Street paving work on streets in the Saunders neighborhood is scheduled to take place this summer, paid for in part by the State of California�s Proposition 1B, Proposition 42, and County Measure A grants funds. Streets to be paved include:
• Alder Ave. / from south of Yolanda to Yolanda
• Berlin Ave. / from Saunders to Brennfleck
• Brennfleck Ave. / from Berlin to Karl
• Karl Ave. / from Saunders to End
• Park Dr. / from Saunders to south of Tamal
• Tamal Ave. / from Park to Sir Francis Drake
• Taylor St. /from Saunders to Park
• Yolanda Ave. / from Alder to Alder
• Pedestrian warning systems at the unsignalized intersections of Saunders and Madrone Avenues at Sir Francis Drake Blvd. will be installed beginning in June. This project is funded through the federal Non-Motorized Transportation Pilot Project.
• Drainage work and installation of pedestrian crosswalks with ADA compliant curb ramps will be done at the intersection of Scenic Avenue / San Anselmo Avenue. The project is currently being advertised for construction bids with work scheduled to begin in late June directly after PG&E completes their underground utility repairs at this same location.
• Drainage work and road repairs are currently underway on Rivera Street.
• A sidewalk will be constructed on the west side Butterfield Road between Woodside Drive and Carlson Avenue, thanks to a Safe Paths to Schools grant through the Transportation Authority of Marin. Construction is planned to take place in the summer.
• Sidewalks will be constructed around Wade Thomas School and in the immediate vicinity, thanks to a Safe Routes to Schools grant. The work will take place during the summer months when school is out, depending on the timing of State approvals.
• At the hub, the traffic signal controller shed at Creek Park will be rebuilt, as it is currently in a state of ill-repair. This project will be paid for by State Parks grant funding and is scheduled to begin construction in July.
• The Town Hall Tower Rehabilitation Project design is currently underway. The project will be ready to advertise for construction bids by the first week in June pending construction funding authorization.
• Replacement of approximately 67 existing street lights with new more energy efficient induction lighting technology. The Project is being funded by a federal stimulus grant.
• The Town's Pavement Management Plan will be updated this summer/fall thanks to a grant received by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission

We are undertaking an unusually large amount of projects this summer, due to the availability of grant funding and the time restraints on that funding. We are planning carefully to minimize disruption as much as possible. If you have questions, please don�t hesitate to call me or Steve Myrter, Public Works Director, at 258-4623.
