Improvements aim to protect Tiburon students and rec center visitors

A 30% design concept shows options to reconfigure Kleinert Way, which connects Ned’s Way and Lyford Drive adjacent to the Tiburon Police Department, Belvedere Tiburon Child Care Center, Reed Elementary School and Tiburon Corporation Yard. The primary goal is to improve student safety with new sidewalk segments, upgraded signs and crosswalks and improved parking configurations. (Parametrix via town of Tiburon)

Tiburon will add continuous sidewalks, high-visibility crosswalks and upgraded curb ramps along Kleinert Way to create safer routes for students walking to and from Reed Elementary School, the Belvedere Tiburon Child Care Center and The Ranch’s Dairy Knoll rec center.

The Town Council voted unanimously Oct. 15 to spend $144,715 for Parametrix Inc. to finalize designs for the pedestrian improvements. The Sausalito-based firm is also conducting a traffic study of Tiburon’s major thoroughfares.

Kleinert Way connects Ned’s Way and Lyford Drive and provides access to the Tiburon Police Department, child-care center, Reed Elementary and Tiburon corporation yard. Plans include new sidewalks, retaining walls and curb gutters; high-visibility crosswalks, yield lines and stencils; new signage; relocated fencing; and extending drainage culverts.
