Marin County is set to significantly enhance its infrastructure investment, with plans to allocate $18 million to the Pave Network this year, a notable increase from last year's $13 million. This decision was highlighted during a recent government meeting, where officials emphasized the importance of larger projects and the inclusion of more street segments in their plans.
The county's commitment to improving its roadways is part of a broader five-year capital improvement plan, which is available for public viewing on the county's website. This initiative aims to address various community needs, including the College Avenue corridor needs assessment, which has been prioritized based on feedback from local supervisors.
Additionally, the Bay Area Council will conduct a review of over 20 small local airports, including NOS Field in Marin County. This assessment presents an opportunity for the county to engage in collaborative projects with partner agencies, enhancing the efficiency of infrastructure improvements.
To facilitate these partnerships, the board has approved a delegation of authority allowing staff to enter into cooperative agreements with other local towns and utility companies, with a budget of up to $220,000. This move is designed to streamline the process of repaving streets and executing smaller projects that minimize disruption to the community.
As Marin County moves forward with these initiatives, residents can expect improved road conditions and enhanced collaboration with neighboring agencies, ultimately benefiting the community's infrastructure and accessibility.
