An update from the City of Mill Valley and the Mill Valley Chamber of Commerce on construction dates, times, parking, and more!
Miller Avenue Construction Update - Week of July 11 - 15, 2016

The Miller Avenue Streetscape Project is an 18-month construction project to repair infrastructure and improve multi-modal use of Miller Avenue, including addressing safety for pedestrians and bicyclists of all ages and abilities, providing better transit access, and improving motorist safety.

Construction began the week of June 13, 2016 and will continue through Fall 2017. Please note that all construction schedules are subject to change due to weather restrictions and other unforeseen delays.

Here is the latest news on the Miller Avenue Streetscape Project:

What Happened Last Week:
The contractor installed temporary parking striping in the areas where asphalt was placed after the removal of center medians between Willow Street and Valley Circle. Work crews installed underground water services between La Goma Street and Valley Circle, and installed underground storm drain lines between Willow Street and Locust Avenue. Work crews removed concrete curb, gutter and sidewalk along the north side of Miller Avenue between Willow Street and Locust Avenue.

What is Happening This Week: 
The contractor will install the main line underground storm drain lines between La Goma Street and Valley Circle, as well laterals off the main line. Work crews will remove concrete curb, gutter and sidewalk along the north side of Miller Avenue between 319 Miller Avenue and Locust Avenue. Once the concrete is removed, underground electrical and irrigation service lines for future street lighting and landscaping will be installed. The new concrete curb, gutter and sidewalk will be replaced over the next three weeks.

Concurrent with the Miller Avenue Streetscape Project is a PG&E Gas Main and Service Lateral Replacement Project. PG&E will begin work this this Thursday at Gomez Way and work their way towards Reed Street. Please anticipate lane shifts and some parking impacts during this project. Work on this project will take place weekdays from 8 am to 5 pm.

What to Expect in Upcoming Weeks:
The contractor will continue removing curb, gutter and sidewalk, along the north side of Miller Avenue between 319 Miller Avenue and Locust Avenue, as well as Valley Circle to Evergreen Avenue. Work crews will install new electrical and irrigation services after the concrete is removed in preparation for the placement of new concrete curb, gutter and sidewalk. Installation of new underground domestic and fire water services, and storm drains lines will continue. Work crews will install new concrete curb, gutter and sidewalk between 319 Miller Avenue and Locust Avenue.

The current phase of the PG&E Gas Main and Service Lateral Replacement Project is anticipated to continue until mid-September.
Frequently Asked Questions
We recently received a number of questions and comments about the project and wanted to provide additional information - such as:
  • Why were the trees on Miller Avenue cut down? Will the City plant new trees?
  • Is Miller Avenue being reduced to one lane? 
  • Will there be any additional safety precautions added to the crosswalk at Evergreen and Miller? (In front of Whole Foods?) 
And More..
