[ARCHIVED] Save The Date - Paved Road Fuel Reduction Program For January 2022

With your continued support, we have removed more than 7,100 tons of flammable vegetation from Southern Marin and Mill Valley right of ways and private property. This has not only improved emergency response times, but it has also reduced the number of power outages during winter storms. 


The focus of the Vegetation Management Program in your neighborhood includes: 

• Pruning trees to maintain emergency vehicle access

• Removal of all flammable and encroaching vegetation from the roadsides and sidewalks

• The evaluation of designated parking spots and maintenance on all fire hydrants in the area.

• Any trees designated for removal will be marked with a red dot.

 

Please do not pile any vegetation on the roadside for pick up. This project is for street clearing only. 

 

The following streets are scheduled for vegetation maintenance starting on or around January, 16 2022 in Mill Valley:

  • Bayview Avenue
  • El Capitan Avenue
  • Fern Canyon Road
  • Magee Avenue
  • Marguerite Avenue
  • Myrtle Avenue
  • Ralston Avenue
  • Summit Avenue
  • Tamalpais Avenue 

The following streets are scheduled for vegetation maintenance starting on or about January, 16 2022 in Tam Valley:  

  • Eastwood Way
  • Eucalyptus Way
  • Glenwood Avenue
  • Glenwood Court
  • Springfield Way
  • Laguna Road
  • Forest Way
  • Harvest Lane
  • Barone Lane  

If you have any questions regarding this program, concerns about specifically marked trees, or interest in scheduling a Chipper Day, which provides residents the chance to give the dangerous fire fuels they’ve removed from their yards a date with the chipper machine, please contact our Wildfire Mitigation Specialist Madison Mead at 415-388-8184 or e-mail at: mmead@smfd.org
