Get Ready!
Simple precautions include airing out your living space once the sun goes down, keeping it open to the morning cool then pulling down windows and shades to close up the place during the heat of the day. Be cool and drink water, especially! Let's look in on our neighbors to help them be cool as well, keeping everyone's well-being in mind. With half the summer ahead, we must prepare for possible power outages and wildfires: "Make a Plan," build your own "Go bag + your pet's," and Disaster Kit." It's also important to rake and compost dry brittle garden waste and leaves. We must always circle back to our neighbors, offering a helping hand. Most of us have cell phones, but some of our neighbors could benefit from signing up for alerts. Please ask around. You could be a life-saver! Click HERE to sign up for emergency alerts. A vibrant and safe city consists of caring neighborhoods.

Of interest to all neighbors in parking-impacted areas!
City's RFP for City-wide Parking Permit Program
Link to the City's Request for Proposals,

"The selected firm will be expected to undertake a detailed study and analysis encompassing various tasks, ranging from a comprehensive parking space survey to the development of an equitable citywide residential parking permit program, project timeline and phased implementation plan. The developed program must be adaptable enough to extend all neighborhoods in San Rafael (e.g., Gerstle Park, Dominican, Bret Harte, Terra Linda, etc.) experiencing parking capacity issues, both presently and in the future. This initiative aims at facilitating a sustainable and equitable parking solution in various neighborhoods of San Rafael, with an initial focus on the East San Rafael (ESR) area. Project Goal

The goal is to design a program that allows residents to park within a reasonable distance of their residences during peak parking hours. It is vital that the program considers the historical context of each neighborhood, considering the needs of visitors and incorporating elements of equity and affordability without adversely impacting low-income residents financially, but striving to maintain cost neutrality."

The study may go to Council for approval Jan 17th. If you would like to submit specific questions during the interim; we will compile them. After reading the RFP, please send your questions to [email protected]
