Tiburon Residents Should Worry About Traffic From Mallard Pointe Proposal

I have lived here for 38 years and have been distressed by the growing gridlock I experience every day on our roads. We often do not pay attention to issues in neighboring towns, but I am writing to alert my fellow Tiburon residents that there is a proposed development, Mallard Pointe, in Belvedere that could make our current traffic significantly worse and our lives miserable.

Developers have purchased about 2.8 acres adjacent to the Belvedere lagoon for a large-scale housing development including a multistory apartment house. Construction could take years to complete. I shudder to think of large-scale construction equipment moving dirt and supplies up and down Tiburon Boulevard, jamming our only transportation artery in and out of the peninsula.

I encourage you to weigh in to Belvedere's elected officials on this very bad proposal. If approved, the ripple effects will be very long and very painful.
