The task force includes representatives from local elementary schools, law enforcement, the DPW and parent volunteers.

Federal funding was for the project was secured in 2016.

The DPW will take the proposal to the council for approval in late April or early May, Project Manger Scott Schneider said.

The Transportation Authority of Marin’s Board of Directors in April 2017 approved $269,000 to fund the project.

The grant will pay for both design and construction costs.
