Hello Again Neighbors,

I've been receiving emails about my last email to Homestead residents
about the  latest effort of taking action to ensure the residents of
our community truely have a chance to voice their concerns about the
Evergreen Avenue Sidewalk Plans that are currently pending.

One question is some people seem to be unsure of who to send this "vote" to?

Please send a copy of this email with your "Yes" or "No" vote on Fwd
email & send:

Hello Homestead Valley Residents,

As a concerned resident of Homestead on Evergreen Avenue, I'm calling
on the possibility of a special election in our Homestead neighborhood
in Mill Valley, about the Proposed 5 Foot Wide Sidewalk Plans for
Evergreen Avenue!

While the DPW is taking the time to review all of the Homestead
residents emails voicing our concerns for the Evergreen Ave Sidewalk
Plans, I'm asking all of my Homestead Neighbors to cast your vote to
help DPW and County Representatives acknowledge that the majority of
residents who regularly or occasionally travel this street demand that
their concerns for safety be taken seriously in the case of the
pending plans to build a 5 foot wide sidewalk on Evergreen Ave and
Melrose to Marin Horizon School, or that perhaps the majority of the
residents have no concern over the future improvements to be made to
this street.

I'm asking for a simple "Yes" or "No" example:

 "Yes, I truely feel any changes to Evergreen Avenue's current road
conditions such as the Plans to Build a 5 Foot Wide Sidewalk on this
street could potentially effect my safety traveling the road, whether
I'm driving a car, truck, motorcycle, walking, pushing a stroller,
running, walking the dog, bicycling, using a wheelchair, roller
skating, skateboarding, etc.., therefore, I demand that an official
vote from the Evergreen Avenue residents and Homestead neighbors be
conducted by the County, to see if this project should even be
considered as an option; or needs immediate special attention for
traffic studies to be conducted and alternative plan suggestions
reviewed because of these concerns; or is accepted for current plans
"as is" as long as it's proven to be a safe alternative for the
street.

Or:

"No, I would like to accept whatever DPW decides to do to the future
improvement of Evergreen Ave, therefore, I will not complain if the
current Evergreen Avenue Plans To Build a 5 Foot Wide Sidewalk along
the entire length of this street are implemented and cause potential
negative impacts that were brought to my attention by the Save
Evergreen Ave Group, and other active groups raising awareness in the
Homestead area.

This is your choice and opportunity to let the Representatives of the
County know that you truely care about your safety and others in a
simple "Yes" or "No" !

As a resident of Homestead Valley concerning the Evergreen Ave
Sidewalk Plans, my answer to Department Of Public Works and the County
Board Of Supervisors is:

______, I care.          (fill in "yes" in blank if you are concerned
about the plans and request an official vote of concerned Homestead
residents)

______, I don't care.  (fill in "no" if you don't care either way and
don't feel a vote is needed by residents)

Please send to the DPW and the County Representatives, and also send
me a copy so I can help tally the votes!

Your participation could make a huge difference to our community!

If you don't participate in this "vote" because you're undecided about
the plans, then choose "yes", because all it's asking the County to do
is conduct an official vote and outweigh the difference in residents
views for current plans pro sidewalk, alternative plans to be
implemented, or against sidewalk completely.

I feel this is the only way we can make it plain and clear that the
residents are concerned or they are not concerned about their very own
neighborhood street!

[Please note that through this "vote", this would be the first step in
the residents of Homestead Valley asking the County to conduct an
"official vote", possibly to be mailed or held as a special election
ballot measure for Homestead, specifically for the "Evergreen Avenue
Sidewalk Plan."]

Sincerly,

Keith Garriott
