Best food in Marin?

139 Upvotes

What’s your best easy lunch, grab and go spot? Weeknight dinner takeout? Hole in the wall gem?

I moved here after living in SF for 8 years and have been really struggling with the food scene. Would appreciate your recommendations!

I attempted to simulate traffic flow at the Miller Ave & La Goma/Montford intersection to compare the current solution (deleted left-turn pockets) against a temporary small roundabout instead

Any traffic engineers here? I'd love to get your take on this.

Good email lists or places to find local events?

1 Upvotes

Hey y’all! I just moved back to Marin and would love to find somewhere that has a list of local events. In the other places i’ve lived I would find listservs or something like that for event guides. Is there something like that for Marin? I can’t find one on google but if anyone has any recommendations i would appreciate it :)

Anyone following the Corte Madera Town Council drama?

68 Upvotes

Seen a few posts on Nextdoor, but from what I can gather from Nextdoor and public minutes:

  • longtime councilwoman and former Mayor Pat Ravasio disclosed confidential information from a closed session
  • The town manager Adam Wolff reported the Brown Act Violation
  • Ravasio seemingly retaliated and got him fired
  • After review the town attorney is recommending that they pay Wolff 9 months severance for termination without cause, costing the citizens of Corte Madera another 4 months salary
  • A third party law firm has been engaged to investigate, costing the citizens of Corte another 10-12k
  • there is a town meeting 9/1 with open session that includes some of the above and a closed session that includes consulting with an attorney on the brown act investigation and for some reason a performance review of Adam Wolff

I’m hoping the Marin IJ gets the full scoop but I will be tuning in to the meeting for sure. Small town politics are wild!

They are just the most delicious right off the vine, $6/lb and more than you could possibly eat. Squash, kale, basil for days. Hate seeing these go to waste, they are just gorgeous and Draper is a hidden gem. We love that our kids can see food growing out of the dirt right in our neighborhood.

Trex Decking

Has anyone used trex deck boards? We are considering it for a small deck but was unsure with the weather in the Marin if it gets too hot in the sunlight?
And if it gets slippery in the winter?

Smart train crossing in San Rafael light timing needs to be fixed

0 Upvotes

Now that we are stuck with this useless train for the next several years, something needs to be done with the light timing. Rather than prioritizing the train, the signals need to have the trains follow a strict crossing schedule, not inconveniencing everyone trying to travel through the city.

Trains should come to a complete stop right before they enter downtown, this would ensure they cross into the train station when ready to cross.

Having an inbound and outbound train enter and depart at the same time is not working. It seems one train is always never ready to depart and is creating an absolute traffic backup nightmare. Nobody should be sitting at a train crossing for 8 minutes during rush hour.

As the Smart Train has low ridership in and out of downtown San Rafael, this has a significant negative impact on so many people, including everyone at the transit bus station.

Time to flood the Mayor’s office with Emails about this, as we can’t continue on like this.

Traffic this week, what’s going on?

48 Upvotes

I know there was an accident yesterday but this whole week has been awful. The stretch between Costco and Terra Linda has been pretty much a parking lot all week. My commute has been 25-40 minutes longer every day this week. What’s going on? Why does it feel particularly bad in Novato but seems to clear up as you get to larkspur?

How I wish they would expand smart :/
