news MMWD Repair Projects May Impact Access
Beginning this month, Marin Municipal Water District (MMWD) road repair projects will impact access for bikes on certain trails as they shore up and address slides and other unstable areas. All of these slides present safety risks to bike traffic as well as prevent the passage of firefighting equipment, so the MMWD so be working to complete repairs ASAP.
