Mill Valley/Sausalito Multi-Use Path Safety Day

To increase bicycle safety awareness, Mill Valley Police Department, Marin County Sheriff’s Department, California Highway Patrol, and Marin County Parks joined forces recently to host a bicycle/E-bike safety event at the Mill Valley/Sausalito Multi-Use-Path.

“It’s great to see all of these agencies together in one place to promote safe usage of one of the busiest paths in the county, MVPD Sgt. Ryan Smith said.  "We're looking forward to doing this again.” Look for all of us out there again in the future, and remember to always #ShareThePath!
