Council approves design for Redwood & Grant bus facility: On Aug. 25, the City Council approved the design for the Redwood and Grant Transit Improvement Project which had been in the works since 2009 to create better operational improvements for the transit service providers--Marin Transit and Golden Gate Transit, enhance passenger safety and security, and improve the surrounding area for pedestrian and bicycle access to this facility.

In 2010, Measure F-the ½ cent sales tax--passed with a 58% voter-approval and provided the City with a locally-controlled revenue source to offset and prevent future budget cuts and maintain and restore vital City services. This funding has helped to maintain essential public safety, senior, and parks services, pothole repair, and street maintenance.

If enacted, Measure C would lower sales tax rates and continue to provide funding for community priorities including investing in public safety, street maintenance and pothole repair, and maintaining essential youth and senior services and parks. Additionally, the independent oversight committee that is currently in place, would continue to review and report on the use of revenue to ensure all funds are spent responsibly and consistent with community priorities.
