Next Step of the Miller Avenue Streetscape Project: Paving

At their City Council meeting on Monday night the City Council received a report and presentation regarding the upcoming paving work on Miller Avenue, slated to begin in mid-June and early July. Repaving of the roadway is anticipated to cause disruptions and impacts to the community in regards to traffic congestion, limited vehicle access, detours and noise. The project team is working to minimize impacts on residents, businesses, and commuters. One key recommendation is to conduct the paving work at night. 
Coming Soon: A Safer Miller Avenue for All Its Users

The Miller Avenue Streetscape Project is making steady progress towards creating a dramatically safer thoroughfare for everyone who uses it, from bicyclists and pedestrians to drivers and public transit riders.

"This is a long process, and we thank you for your patience. We are steadily working toward a future Miller Avenue that we can all be really proud of. A Miller Avenue with safer bike lanes for our children to ride to school, safer crosswalks and wider sidewalks to walk on and gathering places that are more inviting to use as we do our shopping and errands." - Mill Valley Mayor Jessica Sloan
