A Resolution of the Town Council of the Town of Tiburon
Commending the California Department of Transportation, District 4, for the
East Blithedale Off-Ramp Widening and Tiburon Boulevard, State Route 131, Overlay
Projects
Whereas, in 2001 a California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Project Study
Report was prepared at the request of the Transportation Authority of Marin (formerly the
Marin County Congestion Management Agency) to propose improvements aimed at
enhancing safety of exiting traffic at the southbound US Highway 101 off-ramp to East
Blithedale Avenue/Tiburon Boulevard by increasing vehicle storage capacity at the off-ramp;
and
Whereas, the Town of Tiburon, the County of Marin and Caltrans entered into an
agreement in 2005 to fund the construction of these improvements; and
Whereas, construction of these improvements began in earnest early 2007 and was
successfully completed in October 2009; and
Whereas, in a separate project, Tiburon Boulevard (State Route 131), from US
Highway 101 to Mar West Street, was successfully resurfaced during the summer of 2009;
and
Whereas, personnel from the Caltrans San Rafael Construction Field Office oversaw
the construction of both projects, successfully mitigating impacts to motorists, maintaining
public safety, and actively coordinating with Town staff and the public; and
Whereas, these improvements have improved the quality of life for the residents of
and visitors to the Tiburon Peninsula, as well as access to local businesses;
Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Town Council of the Town of Tiburon hereby
commends Caltrans District 4 Director Bijan Sartipi and the professional men and women of
Caltrans, particularly those who worked on the widening of the East Blithedale Off-Ramp and
overlay of the Tiburon Boulevard projects, who were successful in designing and building
transportation improvements on the Tiburon Peninsula to enhance access and safety for local
residents, businesses, and visitors;
