STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item # 1.2
MEETING DATE: January 13, 2026
AGENDA TITLE: Approval of Resolution Repealing and Replacing Resolution 2024-4559 and Establishing the Corrected
2024-2025 Appropriations Limit
FROM: Jeff Zuba, Finance & Admin Services Director
RECOMMENDATION: That the Town Council consider approval of the attached resolution repealing and replacing Resolution 2024-4559 and establishing the corrected appropriations limit for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 following correction of a formula error discovered during the financial audit.

BACKGROUND
On September 10, 2024, the Town Council approved Resolution 2024-4559 establishing the Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2024-2025. During the course of the Town's fiscal year 2024-2025 financial audit, a formula error in the calculation was discovered. This report presents the corrected calculation and recommends that the Council repeal and replace Resolution 2024-4559 with a new resolution establishing the corrected Appropriations Limit.

The State of California's voters approved of ballot Proposition 4 in 1979 thereby adding Article XIII B to the California State Constitution which stipulates spending authority limits on municipalities. These limits are specific to entities that fund their operations using proceeds of taxes, such as sales taxes, property transfer taxes, and property taxes. This is in an effort for municipalities to not to continue appropriating funds for program purposes of which it does not have the adequate level of taxation to cover.

ANALYSIS
Correction of Formula Error
During the annual financial audit process, auditors identified a formula error in the Appropriations Limit calculation that was previously approved. The originally calculated and approved Appropriations Limit was $17,379,191. Following correction of the formula 12 Item #: 1.2
error, the revised Appropriations Limit is $17,371,468, a decrease of $7,723. The error has been corrected in the attached exhibits, and the corrected Appropriations Limit calculation is presented for Council re-approval.

Appropriations Limit Framework
As directed by the State of California's Article XIII B Appropriations Limit, municipalities are to assess its adopted budget appropriations against a calculated spending limit. The budgeted appropriations balance within scope of the Article are any funds used from proceeds of taxes. Proceeds of taxes can include any property taxes, sales taxes, property transfer taxes, etc. The spending limit is a rolling balance starting from 1979 that fluctuates year-over-year based on growth factors from both the local population and cost of living.

Regarding the proceeds of taxes within scope for the Town, the Town does receive a significant amount of funds from taxation. The Town receives property taxes, sales taxes, property transfer taxes, business license taxes, Measure C Wildfire taxes, and proportions of interest income from its deposit at the California State Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF). In total, the Town's budgeted proceeds of taxes for the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 are $22.7M.

The Article, however, does allow for certain exclusions of its proceeds of taxes that would not be subject to its calculated spending limit. Such exclusions available to the Town qualify mandated spending for court orders, federal legislation, capital outlays, and debt service. The Town does comply with various federal statutes, proceed with capital projects for betterment of its infrastructure, and continues to support its financing for its Pension Obligation Bonds-all of which are allowed exclusions from the spending limit. In total, the Town's allowable exclusions that are not subject to the Appropriations Limit are $6.9M-making the total proceeds of taxes subject to the Limit being $15.7M.

Regarding the spending limit applicable to the Town, the Town's limit is calculated using a rolling balance adjusted for growth factors from changes in population and cost of living. For the Town's specific analysis, however, its starting year is Fiscal Year 1986- 1987 due to significant adjustments that were needed for the calculation as previously discussed and approved in prior Town Council meetings. For the current Fiscal Year moreover, we have obtained the allowed compounded growth factors applicable to the Town noting a total growth of 3.475% from prior fiscal year's Appropriations Limit-of which amounts to a current Fiscal Year Appropriations Limit of $17.4M.

Similar to the proceeds of taxes exclusions, the Article also allows for adjustments to the Appropriations Limit. Such adjustments available to the Town are for transfer of financial responsibility, a declared emergency, and voter override taxes that allow for temporary increase in the Appropriations Limit. For the current fiscal year, the residents of the Town have approved of both Measures J and E for temporary overrides of respective sales and parcel tax levies. Both measures constitute $2.9M in additional 13 Item #: 1.2
proceeds allowed by the Town's residents, which increases the Appropriations Limit to $20.3M.

Using all of the factors applicable to the Town, the Town calculated both its proceeds of taxes subject to the Appropriations Limit as well as the Appropriations Limit itself as directed by the State of California. The threshold of which leaves the Town's Adopted Budget appropriations from proceeds of taxes based on this analysis amounts to $4.6M or 22% below the Appropriations Limit.

Attached as part of the analysis, we have provided to the Council two exhibits (A & B) that summarize the corrected analysis performed for inclusion of the proposed Resolution:

Exhibit A provides the detail and changes in each subsequent fiscal year starting in Fiscal Year 1986-1987, the Town's calculated Appropriations Limit.

Exhibit B provides the current fiscal year's calculation based off of the proceeds of taxes from the Adopted Budget relative the calculated Appropriations Limit.

FISCAL IMPACT
There would be no direct fiscal impact to the Town to approve this resolution. This action corrects a calculation error and does not change the Town's actual spending or budget.

GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
Not applicable.

CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
The Council’s discussion of this item is not a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act, because it does not involve an activity which has the potential to cause a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. (Cal. Pub. Res. Code § 21065).

CONCLUSION
Based on the corrected analysis performed by the Town, its Adopted Budget appropriations subject to the Appropriations Limit is determined to be comfortably within its required threshold. The formula error has been corrected in the attached exhibits, and staff recommends Council approval of the resolution repealing and replacing Resolution 2024-4559 with the corrected calculation. There are no anticipated factors that would cause the Town to not be in compliance with the Article in the upcoming fiscal year.

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #: 1.4
MEETING DATE: January 16, 2026
AGENDA TITLE: Consider Canceling the Regular Town Council Meetings Scheduled for July 14, August 11,
November 24 and December 22, 2026
FROM: Serge Avila, Town Clerk
RECOMMENDATION: For Council to consider canceling the meetings associated with summer vacations and holidays for the year 2026.

BACKGROUND
For the past several years, the Council has directed staff to cancel two of the Town Council meetings scheduled during the summer months. The rationale was that the summer is typically a slow time for Town business, particularly since many residents are away on vacation and items of general interest are often delayed until September when regular activities resume.

It has also been the past practice to cancel the second November meeting due to the Thanksgiving holiday and the second meeting in December due to the holiday season.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Staff recommends holding one meeting each month in July, August, November, and December as has been the past practice. The July meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 28, 2026; the August meeting will be held on Tuesday, August 25, 2026; the November meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, and the December meeting will be held on Tuesday, December 8, 2026.

The yearly meeting schedule, as proposed, is as follows:

FISCAL IMPACT
There would be no direct fiscal impact to the town to approve this item.

CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
The proposed project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), under the “common sense” exemption because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. (Cal. Code Regs. tit. 14, § 15061).
47 Item #: 1.5

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #: 1.5
MEETING DATE: January 13, 2026
AGENDA TITLE: Approve the Resolution to Accept Funding for the Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon Project at Sir Francis
Drake Boulevard and Madrone Avenue
FROM: Scott Schneider, Department of Public Works
RECOMMENDATION: That the Town Council approve the Resolution Accepting Funding for the Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB) Project at the intersection of Sir Francis Drake Boulevard and Madrone Avenue, and find the project exempt from CEQA under 14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15301.

SUMMARY
The Town has secured Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3 grant funding through the Transportation Authority of Marin (TAM) and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC). MTC requires the Town to adopt a Resolution to formalize the funding agreement. The grant will be used to install a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB), also known as a HAWK beacon, replacing the existing Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) at Sir Francis Drake Boulevard and Madrone Avenue.

BACKGROUND
The existing RRFB system at the Madrone Avenue crossing was installed in 2010 using federal grant funding. At the time, RRFBs had received interim approval from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) following effective pilot installations in Florida and Texas. RRFBs using high intensity LED lights in a ‘wig-wag’ flashing pattern to increase visibility and driver compliance at uncontrolled crosswalks. They were fully approved by FHWA in 2018 and incorporated into the 2023 Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).

The Town currently has RRFBs at three locations - Sir Francis Drake Boulevard at Madrone Avenue, at Center Boulevard near the Hub, and on Butterfield Road at Carlson Avenue.
48 Item #: 1.5
While RRFBs are effective on two-lane roads with one lane of traffic in each direction (e.g. Butterfield Road and Center Boulevard), their effectiveness decreases on multilane roads such as Sir Francis Drake Boulevard.

PEDESTRIAN HYBRID BEACON (HAWK) SYSTEM
HAWK (High Intensity Activated Crosswalk) beacons were first tested in Tucson, Arizona in 2000, and were adopted into the 2009 MUTCD. The system operates similarly to a standard traffic signal: when activated, it displays a sequence beginning with a yellow indication followed by a solid dual-red display. Studies show HAWK systems can achieve driver-stopping compliance rates of up to 97%.

The Town recently installed a HAWK beacon at Sir Francis Drake Boulevard and Saunders Avenue, a key crossing for Archie Williams High School students. Additional HAWK systems in Marin County include installations along Sir Francis Drake Boulevard near Ash Avenue in Kentfield, on Third Street near San Rafael High School, and on Grand Avenue south of Second Street in San Rafael.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSYS
Replacing the existing RRFB at Madrone Avenue with a HAWK beacon will substantially improve pedestrian and cyclist safety at this important connection between downtown San Anselmo and the Red Hill Shopping Center. This improvement is consistent with the San Anselmo Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan and reflects longstanding community interest in safer crossings along Sir Francis Drake Boulevard.

HAWK beacons remain dark until activated by a pedestrian, providing a clearer, more attention-grabbing signal to drivers and reducing potential rear-end collisions. The required red-light phase ensures motorists come to a complete stop, clearly communicating pedestrian right-of-way. The overall timing and operation of the HAWK beacon are expected to be similar to the current RRFB system, resulting in no additional delays to traffic.

The project will reuse the existing RRFB poles and cross arms. No trenching across Sir Francis Drake Boulevard is anticipated, as existing conduits are expected to be suitable for reuse.

FISCAL IMPACT
The estimated project costs are as follows:

Design $ 30,000
Construction $ 160,000
Construction Management (San Anselmo staff and consultant) $ 5,000 Construction Contingency (10% of construction) $ 15,000 Total Construction Cost $ 210,000
49 Item #: 1.5
Project funding consists of $10,000 from Measure J, and $200,000 grant from MTC TDA Article 3.

CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
The Town finds this project to be categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 Class 1, because it involves modifications to existing traffic signals, will not create additional automobile lanes, and involves negligible or no expansion of use. (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15301). None of the exceptions to this Class 1 categorical exemption apply in this instance (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15300.2). Specifically, successive projects of the same type in the same location will not cause significant cumulative impacts, as there are no successive projects planned at this time. There are no unusual circumstances presented by this project and the project will not result in damage to scenic resources within a designated state scenic highway. Finally, the project will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource, as no historical resources will be impacted.

The project is identified in the Town’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, and enhances the safety for non-motorized users. It is consistent with the Town’s Climate Action Plan 2030, supporting Transportation Measures T-2 (Bicycling) and T-3 (Walking).

STAFF REPORT

TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO
MEETING DATE: 1/13/25
AGENDA TITLE: Special Event Application - Live on The Avenue Program 2026
FROM: Mattie O’Grady – Community Services Director
Kelley Warner – Community Engagement
Coordinator

RECOMMENDATION
The Parks and Recreation Commission Recommends that Town Council:

1. Approve the ‘San Anselmo Live on the Avenue’ music series event application (Attachment 1) scheduled for Fridays and Saturdays from June 20, 2026, through September 12, 2026.

2. Approve closing San Anselmo Avenue Friday and Saturday evenings, June 20, 2026, through September 12, 2026, from 4:30-9:30pm. Street closure to include San Anselmo Avenue from Tunstead to Tamalpais.

3. Approve proposed 2026 Town budget for operations and event expenses.

BACKGROUND
Live on the Avenue is a recurring summer event series held on Friday and Saturday evenings on San Anselmo Avenue, featuring live music, family-friendly programming, movies, a parade, and related downtown activation. In 2025, the program ran from June 20 through September 27, with street closures from 5:00–9:30 p.m. and music sets from 6:00–8:30 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday evenings.

The 2025 season marked the fifth year of the series and included a broad mix of programming and collaborating Town departments. The event series showcased public private partnerships, strong community participation, and generally high participant satisfaction, supported by both community survey data and Placer.ai attendance estimates. As the Town looks ahead to the 2026 season, key policy questions center on balancing community and business feedback, addressing public safety and streetclosure operations, and selecting between two format options. 2025 Event Data and Metrics
59 The 2025 Live on the Avenue series included 29 evenings of street closures, 60 individual bands and entertainers, 6 youth bands, 6 California Film Institute movies (over 3 nights), 1 comedy night, and 1 parade. Using Placer.ai, staff estimate that the 2025 series welcomed over 28,000 visits, averaging approximately 1,500 visits per weekend.

Street Closure Considerations
In response to concerns expressed by several downtown business owners stating that street closures and event start times were too early and restricted customer access, staff adjusted the timing framework in 2025. Whereas the 2023 and 2024 series operated with a 4:30 p.m. soft close, 5:30 p.m. hard close, and 5:30–8:30 p.m. music sets, the 2025 series shifted to a 5:00 p.m. soft close, 6:00 p.m. hard close, and 6:00– 8:30 p.m. music sets.

This change saw street-closure operations becoming more complex in 2025 due to an increased number of vehicles parked along the Avenue as compared to previous years.

To address the increase in vehicles on the Avenue following the closure time and to maintain clear lanes and sightlines, staff worked with Central Marin Police Authority (CMPA) to implement a towing policy for vehicles parked near either end of the closure area to avoid cars being moved during the event in an effort to increase public safety on the closed street.

Community and Stakeholder Feedback for 2025
It is a challenge to gain feedback from the different community stakeholders, especially once the season is over. This year, staff worked to engage both Town departments and the various community groups by providing some different options:
 Community Survey – 455 respondents
 Business Survey – 39 respondents
 One on one meetings with staff and businesses
 Meetings with Town Departments – CMPA and DPW
 Meetings with Event Partners and Contractors
 Meetings with Event Sponsors
Community Survey Results (2025)
The 2025 community survey received 455 responses, providing a robust snapshot of resident and attendee sentiment. A large majority of respondents reside in San Anselmo, with additional participation from Fairfax, San Rafael, Ross, the greater Marin area, and outside Marin.

Overall impressions of the 2025 series were strongly positive, with 89% rating the series “Excellent” or “Very Good,” and only a small fraction selecting “Good,” “Fair,” or “Poor.” Ninety-five percent of respondents indicated that they would attend Live on the Avenue again next year, and 83% preferred that the series remain at two evenings per weekend rather than shifting to one evening, while 17% preferred a single evening per weekend. 60 Business Survey Results (2025)
Live on the Avenue began during Covid as a way for the community to gather safely outdoors, but it also provided an opportunity for stimulating the flagging economic vitality of the downtown business community by bringing significant foot traffic and visibility every weekend.

Thirty-six businesses completed the 2025 business survey, representing a mix of locations and business types. Approximately 66% of respondents were located within the Live on the Avenue interior footprint, 28% along the perimeter, and 6% in other San Anselmo areas, with business types including retail, food and beverage, hair/beauty, office, interior design, property owners, and other categories.

Businesses who choose to participate in Live on the Avenue, do so in several ways, including staying open during event hours and engaging with event attendees. Food purveyors with locations off the Avenue in San Anselmo can apply for a permit to have a tent on the Avenue as well. When asked about the series’ business impact in the survey, respondents identified benefits such as increased revenues, community involvement, brand awareness, and increased visibility, while some reported decreased revenues or uncertainty about the overall impact.

Business responses to event frequency differ from community preferences. When asked about having the event twice per weekend, 44% of business respondents indicated that this approach was “great,” 8% were neutral, and 48% reported a preference for one night per weekend instead of two.

Among businesses that would prefer a one-evening format, 58% indicated a preference for Saturday and 42% for Friday as the single event night.

This divergence between community and business feedback on the number of evenings per weekend is a core issue heading into 2026.

Central Marin Police Authority - Public Safety and Enforcement Data Central Marin Police Authority provided data on parking enforcement related to Live on the Avenue street closures in 2024 and 2025. In 2025, CMPA issued 41 parking citations and oversaw three vehicle tows, compared to six citations and no tows in 2024, reflecting both stricter enforcement and higher levels of parking non-compliance.

CMPA’s 2026 recommendations emphasize public safety needs, including requiring a 2-hour street closure window to safely clear vehicles, deployment of mobile barriers, and consideration of adjustments to the closure footprint (such as extending the closure toward Little Tunstead effectively closing Tunstead Avenue between San Anselmo Avenue and Library Place).
61 Several survey participants, in response to open-ended questions, expressed a preference for an earlier start time, particularly families with young children citing bedtime routines around 7:00 p.m.; notably, no comments requested a later start time.

Several business owners expressed great concern over changing the start time to anytime earlier than 5:00pm. Conversely, a suggestion was made to start the street closure at 6:00pm.

Key Issues for 2026
Format Considerations
Staff has identified issues for Council consideration related to the 2026 Live on the Avenue series. First, community feedback is strongly supportive of maintaining two evenings per weekend, whereas the business community is more divided and slightly more inclined toward a single night per weekend, creating a need to balance community activation with business impacts.

Street Closure Timing Considerations
Second, public safety recommendations point toward longer and more structured street-closure periods to allow CMPA and Public Works sufficient time to clear vehicles and deploy safety barriers. These operational needs must be reconciled with business concerns about closure duration and community feedback about preferred timing, especially for participants seeking earlier start times.

While CMPA recommends a two-hour street closure window to ensure safe towing operations, staff recognizes the potential impact on the business community and therefore recommends a 1.5-hour closure window from 4:30–6:00 p.m. Previous efforts to implement only a 1-hour closure proved operationally challenging, resulting in unsafe pedestrian and towing conditions. These requirements will affect timing and setup operations under both program options.

Permitting
With the growth and success of Live on The Avenue, staff requests Town Council support in making sure vendors follow appropriate permitting protocols during the 2026 series.
2026 Program Options
Two options are proposed for the 2026 Live on the Avenue series, both running Fridays and Saturdays from June 20 through September 12 with no program on July 4th for 24 evenings in total.

Option A: Hybrid Option
 Contingent upon re-opening of Creek Park Plaza
 Fridays: No street closure and Music in Creek Park. No additional programming.  Saturdays: Full Street Closure and Music at Town Hall and Creek Park. Full programming on the Avenue.
62  Timing
 Street Closure (Saturdays ONLY) 4:30-9:30pm
 Music Sets 6:00-8:30pm
 Vendors and activities on the Avenue (Saturdays ONLY) are allowed only once cars are cleared
Option B: Continuation of Current Framework
 Fridays & Saturdays: Full Street Closure and Music at Town Hall + Creek Park.

Full programming on the Avenue
 Timing
 Street Closures (Fridays & Saturdays) 4:30-9:30pm
 Music Sets 6:00-8:30pm
 Vendors and activities on the Avenue are allowed only once cars are cleared
Creek Park Plaza Context
 Creek Park Plaza was opened in 2020 to provide additional public outdoor space during the pandemic and has been well used by the community. The Flood District closed the plaza in September 2022, and there is potential for the plaza to reopen in spring 2026, which would directly affect programming options and capacity for Live on the Avenue.
 The potential reopening of the plaza creates an opportunity to shift some programming away from the Avenue itself while still providing robust live music and community gathering space. This context underpins one of the proposed options for 2026 that relies on the plaza’s availability.

Community Feedback for 2026
To gather input on the proposed options, the Town offered several opportunities for community members to share their feedback. These options were advertised via the Town Manager’s Newsletter, Business Newsletter, Recreation Department Email Blasts, and Social Media:
 Town Manager’s Community Forum – December 1st, 2025
 Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting – December 16th, 2025  Collection of 219 written public comments
Town Manager’s Community Forum
On Monday, December 1st, the Town Manager hosted a community forum (in person and on zoom) to present the format options for 2026 and gather feedback. Multiple attendees affirmed that Live on the Avenue has become a signature event that makes San Anselmo “a great destination” and that many families attend frequently throughout the summer. Parents noted the value of having two nights available because coordinating schedules is difficult, and some businesses, such as long-time food establishments, reported clear benefits from having two days of activation. 63 Participants also highlighted that Friday and Saturday nights draw somewhat different audiences, with more stroller-aged families and local walkers on Fridays and a broader mix of attendees on Saturdays. This differentiation supports the idea that maintaining some level of programming on both nights can serve distinct segments of the community.

Residents on nearby streets, particularly San Rafael Avenue, described ongoing parking and livability challenges during the season, including blocked driveways, noise as people leave the event, and cars traveling too fast on single-lane residential streets.

Suggestions included red curbs near driveways and traffic-calming or “slow streets” approaches in residential areas to better protect neighbors during event hours. There was also concern that, even with enforcement, San Anselmo Avenue and adjacent streets remain heavily parked, putting continued pressure on nearby residents.

Paid parking and street closure times were cited as compounding factors affecting retail activity. Participants encouraged the Town to explore compromises that support both merchants and community goals, such as later closures and business workshops on leveraging the event.

Timing of the street closure emerged as a central concern, with nuanced views. Some business and Chamber of Commerce voices argued that the timing of street closures is “the most important” factor, not necessarily whether the street is closed or not.

Families and neighbors noted that later start times can be challenging for young children, making Friday nights less workable if events begin too late.

Format Options for LOTA 2026:

Multiple options for the 2026 season were presented to participants during the meeting:

OPTION A (assumes Creek Park Plaza is reopened): Uses Creek Park Plaza and Creek Park stage for music. Does not close Avenue. Full closure on Saturday evenings.

OPTION B: Continue with current format.

OPTION C: Move entire program to a single night.

Several participants supported testing Option A as a structured pilot, while another commenter proposed an “Option C” of holding the event only on Saturday nights to preserve the spirit of the series while reducing cumulative impacts.

Participants expressed support for public safety improvements but raised questions about how a mandatory 2-hour closure window and any change in closure timing would affect access to downtown businesses and neighborhood traffic flows.

For Option A, some attendees asked whether not closing the street on Fridays would create new safety risks from traffic moving through a busy, event-adjacent downtown, and suggested putting physical features at the end of the street to slow vehicles. 64 Several commenters praised the diversity and quality of programming in 2025 and encouraged continued focus on curated music. Suggestions included differentiating Fridays and Saturdays by placing more emerging acts on Fridays and higher-profile bands on Saturdays.

One attendee addressed environmental and equity considerations, including using a reusable-cup provider to reduce single-use waste and positioning San Anselmo as a leader in sustainable event practices.

Parks & Recreation Commission Meeting
The Parks and Recreation Commission received extensive public testimony at the December 16th, 2025 meeting on proposed options for the 2026 Live on the Avenue (LOTA) season. Speakers represented a cross-section of residents, merchants, and community partners.

Public Comment Highlights and Key Themes
Strong Community Support
 Broad enthusiasm for Option B – the two-night format. The vast majority of commenters stated that LOTA has become “the heart of San Anselmo” and an essential element of community life. Many families shared that the program fosters safety, inclusion, and social connection, describing it as “vibrant” and “the envy of other towns.”
 Social and emotional impact. Parents and caregivers emphasized how the event allows children to feel safe and connected, particularly after the isolation of the pandemic. Several residents credited LOTA with helping them build friendships and a new sense of belonging upon moving to town.
 Performer and sponsor appreciation. Local musicians and business owners involved in the event praised Town staff for the coordination and communitybuilding LOTA supports, noting that few comparable events exist in Marin.

Business and Economic Perspectives
 Several downtown merchants expressed continued frustration with lost sales during street closures, particularly between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m. when vehicles are towed and access is restricted.
 Some businesses voiced concern that commercial challenges should not be characterized as opposition to the event.
 Those favoring a reduced or modified format (Option A or similar) pointed to Friday closures as the most difficult period for business operations and suggested retaining Friday programming without a full closure.  Multiple commenters recognized the value of collaboration and encouraged renewed partnerships between businesses and event organizers.

Public Safety and Operations
 Residents and business representatives expressed a consistent message that keeping the street closed during active programming is critical for safety. 65 Many voiced concern that Option A’s open-street Friday concept could create confusion or unsafe conditions for pedestrians.
 Some participants proposed earlier start and end times to better align with family routines while supporting CMPA’s two-hour vehicle clearance recommendation.  Others suggested enhancements such as designated red-curb areas near driveways, shuttle service from Red Hill, or stronger enforcement of no-parking zones.

Additional Ideas and Values
 One resident noted the environmental stewardship of the event, with a speaker urging adoption of reusable cup systems or aluminum alternatives to reduce single-use waste.
 Respondents highlighted LOTA’s role in place-branding and economic vitality, with attendees describing how the event attracts visitors and new businesses and animates the downtown every weekend.
 A few commenters proposed long-term innovations to diversify the experience while protecting merchant operations.

Following public comment, the Commission issued a formal recommendation and motion in support of option B (eight votes in favor and one abstention).

Public Comments
As of Thursday, January 8
th, the Town has received 219 public comments regarding the proposed options. 170 indicated support for Option B (continuation of the current two-night street-closure format), 30 supported Option A (hybrid model), 7 were neutral, and 16 either did not choose between A or B or suggested alternative approaches. This corresponds to approximately 76% in favor of Option B, 14% for Option A, 3% neutral, and 7% neither stating or presenting another idea.

66 *Note: 4 individuals selected their preferred option but also suggested another idea.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The 2025 Live on the Avenue series continued to demonstrate strong performance, drawing more than 28,000 visits and maintaining high satisfaction among residents and attendees. Community feedback indicates that the event remains one of San Anselmo’s most valued public programs, achieving goals of community connection, placemaking, and downtown activation.

Survey and engagement results show broad support for continuing the series but differing perspectives on key operational elements. Residents and attendees strongly favor maintaining two evenings per weekend, citing flexibility and family participation, while approximately half of business respondents prefer consolidating to one evening to reduce operational impacts.

Participants at the December Community Forum echoed these mixed views. Some supported full continuation of the current format, others favored a one-night model, and several advocated testing a hybrid framework that keeps Friday activity without a full street closure. Several participants questioned whether eliminating the Friday closure would actually address the concerns of businesses with declining revenues, noting that parking and crowding pressures would persist if Friday programming remained popular.

Moreover, attendees emphasized the need for clear branding and communication so that visitors understand where activities are located on different nights and raised concerns about managing traffic flow and slowing vehicles if the street remains open on Fridays. Taken together, these comments show that the forum did not produce a definitive preference for either option; instead, it underscored that both options involve trade-offs and would require careful adjustment and implementation.

The Parks & Recreation Commission meeting aligned with broader community survey findings that highlight strong community attachment to the existing two-night model. The overwhelming tone of public comment was highly supportive of continuing the current two-night event structure (Option B), with recognition there are legitimate business and logistical concerns that warrant further collaboration. 67 2026 Projected Budget
Please note staff is exploring two additional expenses (mobile barriers and event insurance) and will return with more information at a later date.

Key Adjustments and Responding to Event Impact
Staff has worked to refine the Live on the Avenue program in response to business feedback and neighborhood input. The proposed changes include the following considerations:
 Reduced the total number of evenings from 29 to 24 to lessen cumulative operational and parking impacts by 5 evenings.
 Recognized neighborhood parking concerns and committed to exploring mitigation strategies, including improved monitoring, and potential curb and enforcement adjustments.
 Exploring the potential of not hosting the parade to further reduce disruption to businesses.
68 Parking Impact on Residential Neighborhoods
Residents on nearby streets, particularly San Rafael Avenue, have raised concerns about parking and livability impacts associated with Live on the Avenue. They report frequent driveway blockages, challenges entering and exiting their properties, and vehicles traveling too fast on narrow, single-lane residential streets. In recognition of these neighborhood concerns, staff will explore additional measures such as installing red curbs around driveways to improve visibility and access. Staff will also work with CMPA on enhanced parking and traffic enforcement during event hours.

Event Management
The Recreation Department is well positioned to continue managing the Live on The Avenue series due to both organizational capacity and strong external support. Staff has cultivated meaningful private partnerships over multiple seasons which helps sustain the quality and scope of programming. In addition, the Recreation Department now has a dedicated staff member assigned to coordinate Live on The Avenue, providing focused leadership for planning and on-the-ground event management.

RECOMMENDATION
On December 16th, The Parks and Recreation Commission issued a formal recommendation and motion regarding Live on The Avenue 2026. The recommendation is that Town Council move forward with Option B and:

1. Approve the ‘San Anselmo Live on the Avenue’ music series event application (Attachment 1) scheduled for Fridays and Saturdays from June 20, 2026, through September 12, 2026.

3. Approve proposed 2026 Town budget for operations and event expenses.

CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
Approving the ‘Live on the Avenue’ event series is not considered a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), because it does not involve an activity which has the potential to cause a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. (Cal. Pub. Res. Code § 21065).

Hello,
I live in San Anselmo (on Tamalpais, right downtown) and I have two young kids. I can't attend the town council, but I am heavily in favor of Option B.

One of the best parts of Live on the Ave are the closed streets - without the very real concern of cars, there are so many parents that can relax and so many kids that can experience more freedom and independence. There aren't enough car-free places in our community for us all to enjoy ourselves without the worry of little kids near fast moving, massive SUVs.

Thanks!

It is my strong op[inion that you do not block San Anselmo Avenue on Friday nights.

The people who want to sit and chat with their friends can easily do this in parks or in a business which caters to eating, drinking and socializing.

There is no mature adult reason to closing San Anselmo Avenue on a Friday evening.

Thank you for considering my reasoning.

We looked at MANY homes during the homebuying process and were often here on the weekends for open houses. Each time, we would come to LOTA (not knowing it was a thing), eat at Kientz Hall (RIP) on the upstairs deck, and marvel at this amazing little town and community.

I think that first summer we came every weekend with the exception of the ones we were back east! In 2024, we attended many nights. And for whatever reason, last summer only made it twice.

One of things we were curious about (before all of this discussion) was why it was both nights, every weekend. It just seemed like so much work for everyone! We wondered if you did it one night only, if it could spread across more weeks. And/or, if it was one night, if it would feel more special and create more "demand" for that one night.

We support whichever way the decision goes - but we wanted to share how grateful we are that the team puts these events on. It's amazing to go downtown and know we'll bump into neighbors, schoolmates, sports friends, and even friends who come from other towns (as "far" as Mill Valley).

Thank you for all you do!

In response to the question about LIve on the Avenue, while we understand the retailers concerns, we believe that if you don't close the streets and just have music, the traffic into town will be greatly reduced. Is there some other solution to help the retailers while keeping the program as it is now? It is such a special part of our town in the summer!!

Option 2 to keep the same framework is much preferred. Kids will not be able to attend as easily if the streets aren’t closed. It’s also very confusing for children to have roads open one day (unsafe) but closed the next day. This creates a major safety concern with young kids running into the street thinking it’s closed but it’s not. As parents we already go through a process of transitioning kids back into traffic safety in downtown SA after the events are done for the year, as they start to associate downtown SA as a pedestrian mall.

Actually — what a thought. Let’s just make it a permanent pedestrian mall like Pearl Street in Boulder :) On Dec 3, 2025, at 9:43 AM, San Anselmo Recreation Department <[email protected]> wrote:

We would be very happy to have it be both weekend evenings still but understand that may be too much for the city and some of the businesses, tho I imagine this brings lots of extra business to some.

LOTA option ideas

To Recreation <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
Hello,
I wrote in already about my preference for Option B keeping both nights as-is, but I’ve been talking to more people and am guessing there’s room for more “options” to be considered.

One “hybrid” solution I was thinking was keeping Fri/Sat starting with the wknd school gets out in June and then wrapping up the wknd after school starts again in late August (prior to Labor Day) with the last day being the parade event.

THEN in September having an only Creek Park event called September Saturdays so it’s not marketed as LOTA and made clear it’s a different event. This may give time for Creek Plaza to reopen as well and a celebration of that with more time to figure out how to keep that area safe if the street is open.

Possibly using the barriers to block the plaza from the street like the fence is doing now.

Thank you,

CAUTION: External Sender
Firstly, thank you to Mattie and Kelley and the rest of the staff for all your work with LOTA, it is much appreciated. I wasn't able to attend the meeting on 12/1 but I did listen to the first hour online and heard some of the feedback, definitely skewed towards the older demographic as most adults are working during the day. My family frequently attends both evenings and I also tabled this year for the Yes Foundation to raise awareness on multiple nights.

I feel strongly for Option B for a couple reasons, some of which were mentioned at the Monday meeting.

1. Safety- first and foremost, this is key. David spoke about concerns the police chief has and barriers for the Avenue which we should get, yes they will cost a lot, but it is worth it - and they will get more use if the event is 2 nights a week. The problem with Option A regarding safety is that both event attendees and drivers could easily forget that Friday is not closed to traffic, increasing the chance of an accident.

2. Public Survey results clearly indicate the general public prefers 2 nights. Granted the business survey didn't, but I have heard some businesses repeated votes (and hope that isn't true).

3. Marketing- Pat had a great point about Friday being harder to market if Option A or cutting back to random dates/wknds, if it's not On the Ave what is it?

4. There are many more music choices and opportunities for local talent to showcase with 2 nights- the Town Hall stage is a great venue for all the budding musicians in our community.

Some of the concerns mentioned involved parking on nearby streets causing disruption to residents. Personally, I live near downtown where people park for LOTA and I don't mind it.

But Frank had some great points about what could be done in terms of signs like in SF "Open to Local traffic only" This event has taken so much work to get to this point and it would be a shame to cut it back.

Thank you,
Anna Grumm

Hi! Ashley here - a newish San Anselmo resident for 1.5 years now. The events this town puts on, like Live on the Ave and this weekend’s Tree Lighting Ceremony, are rare to find these days and have become a true differentiator for San Anselmo. They’ve made me feel at home after living here only a short time.

I’m surprised to hear that some businesses feel their revenue decreases during the concert nights, because these events are exactly what bring my family, and many others, downtown. They also attract visitors from neighboring communities, including San Francisco, who might not come to San Anselmo otherwise. The concerts clearly generate significant foot traffic and visibility for the town. It might be useful to look at the impact by business type (eg restaurants vs. home goods vs. retail), and then identify tailored strategies for each category. From what I’ve observed, the businesses that lean into the events (for example, by setting up sidewalk stands) tend to benefit the most. I’d be curious whether the businesses seeing a decline could be supported in participating more actively. There are many ways to do this beyond traditional food and beverage sales. A few ideas include:

Mini-storefronts or themed kits
Picnic Kits (crackers, cheese, treats)
Kid Meltdown Kits (fidget toy, stickers, mini treat)
Clearance or “concert night” racks
Micro-experiences: quick activities on the street
Sip + Shop nights: extended hours or in-store programming to complement the concerts Town guide mapping all businesses: For example, Monterey/Carmel has a charming illustrated guide made by a local artist (see HERE) - something similar could highlight our independent shops and encourage exploration
To further help our community, it's crucial we continue supporting and expediting business openings.

For example, the extended delay with Woods leaves a noticeable gap in downtown vitality. Reducing long-term vacancies would benefit both the community and the surrounding businesses - empty storefronts tend to create a “ghost town” effect that dampens the otherwise vibrant atmosphere of events like these.

These concerts and events are such a positive force for San Anselmo, and with a little creative support, more businesses could tap into that momentum. Thank you so so much for all that you do! 134

LOTA

CAUTION: External Sender
Hi ,
Some friends mentioned potential changes to Live on the Avenue (LOTA). We live in Greenbrae and most of the business we do in San Anselmo is directly tied to when we come to LOTA. We typically don't plan ahead when to come, Friday or Saturday, but come 2-3 times a month when the program is going, based on when we have energy, kids schedule etc.

If the schedule was trimmed so streets weren't closed on Friday, we probably wouldn't come that day of the week as that's the major draw - letting our kids run around downtown and recreate. My guess is that as a result we'd come half as often and go to Novato's event more.

Hope this helps.

Best,
Austin

To Whom it May Concern:

As a mother of two young kids and someone that grew up in this beautiful place I find it be one of the things I am most proud of about our sweet little town. I have friends in neighboring areas that are so envious of the way we come together each weekend and I am so grateful to the town for this incredibly memorable experience for my kiddos.

I have a hard time believing that sales are actually impacted because of this event, given it boosts more foot traffic than would ever be possible on a night without the event taking place. If the argument is parking, even when the road isn’t closed the parking is nearly impossible any way. Very rarely do I ever find parking when I’m running errands and most likely find parking on SFD or in the neighborhoods behind town. I’ve noticed the real winners in this equation are establishments that get involved and market their businesses in a creative way during the event. Find fun ways to make people walk in your store, be a part of something special for your town instead of complaining about it.

Our kids deserve to have a place they feel safe, listen to music, enjoy their parents and their friends in a way that celebrates where they live. This event is catered towards the families that are just starting out, just finding their footing and making friends. It costs an arm and a leg to live here, we shouldn’t rip away the gifts our town gives us.

Happy to campaign to keep Live On The Avenue in any way I can that would be helpful! Best,

CAUTION: External Sender
Hello,
Thank you for soliciting the community’s feedback on Live on the Avenue! This is one of our family’s favorite events in the summer, we go every week. We have two small children and the closed off street and activities is one of the main reasons we attend this event. It’s so safe and allows us to enjoy ourselves more knowing that the kids won’t run into a street.

Our family, including all of our friends, always attend on Friday night. We rarely go on Saturday's (but sometimes we do and we’re so grateful for that too!). So I would suggest flipping the nights as outlined in Option A (Friday night is the full street closure and both stages open, Sat night is only creek stage) or of course Option B is the best case scenario.

We regularly discuss how fortunate we are that we live in a place that prioritizes and funds these special events. We can’t imagine the summer without Live on the Ave!! Best,
Berkeley

Thoughts:

Looks like the concern is business feedback.
33% aren't open during the events , if not because of the events, does their preference on 1 vs 2 nights really carry weight and is it a factor in the revenue responses? What decreases the revenue - regular customers aren't able to drive to the business during the event? The prefer later start is to enable more customers before the event starts? Are the 33% who aren't open also voting for 1 night?
I guess a clearer segmentation of the business preference based on business that are actually open might be useful lens to look at the responses through and then try to address the business that are open but see decreased revenues and if there are useful steps to help lift that (more street signage - free street booth? dunno I guess it depends on why they believe it's happening and the type of business.

Anyway I don't own a small business on the avenue and I think the magical part about the whole thing is that the street closes down, and actually really like the weekends where there is also a DJ in imagination park and even the jump houses around town square etc...

Thank you!

Live On The Ave Input
From Benjamin Sampson <[email protected]>
Date Thu 12/4/2025 3:23 PM
To Recreation <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
Hello,
I am writing to provide input on the Live On The Ave planning options. I am strongly opposed to the Hybrid option proposed by the town manager (street closures only on Saturday night).

The Live On The Ave programming was a meaningful draw for my family to move from Sausalito closer to San Anselmo (currently renting in Kentfield). We have discussed many times that buying a home in the flats of San Anselmo, walking distance to the Ave, would be our ideal long-term setup.

We currently have a 2.5-year-old daughter, and another on the way, and have attended Live On The Ave six to eight times in each of the past two summers. It is our standard Friday evening routine when we are in town, even driving from Sausalito in traffic last year, and bringing along other young families.

My wife works at the Still Collective, and I run my own wealth management practice in Mill Valley, so we understand how small local businesses operate. I fail to see how this event is a net negative for the businesses on the Ave. We typically buy pizza and lemonade at Creekside, and finish the evening with scoops at San Anselmo Gelato. Oftentimes, we arrive early to shop at SeeSaw or OCN Culture. Even shops that are closed during the event get free advertising. The friends we bring from Sausalito were introduced to San Anselmo, and we have returned with them many times to dine at Cucina, M.H.

Bread & Butter, Voyage, or shop at the boutiques.

Scaling back from two days to one hurts the brand recognition for San Anselmo. I cannot fathom taking my daughters to this event on a Friday without the street closure; it would be incredibly unsafe.

Without this event to look forward to in the summers, young families will more often spend their weekend evenings at any of the other desirable Marin downtown locales (Mill Valley's Lumber Yard, Larkspur's Magnolia Ave, Sausalito's waterfront, etc.)
I urge you to consider the far-reaching, long-term impacts of the message you send to families in the community if you scale back Live On The Ave.

Thank you,
Benjamin, Emily, and Adelaide Sampson

In SUPPORT of Options B, Protecting San Anselmo's Collective Spaces From Blake Ohlig <[email protected]>
Date Wed 12/3/2025 2:25 PM
To Recreation <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
Hello Park & Recreation Commission,
My wife, son, and I love Live on the Ave, the main reason being the opening of the streets to community use. The music is lovely, but it's honestly secondary to the feeling of being together as a community in our collective space downtown. Allowing children to run free and play without constant fear of cars, restaurants packed full of patrons, neighbors spontaneously running into each other. It FEELS like a town.

I know topics involving cars, traffic, and parking are highly contentious. But in a time shaped by overwhelming car dependence and a fraying sense of community, it's incredibly refreshing to have a pedestrian-first approach to downtown, even if only for a handful of hours a week over summer. In fact, it's probably more than that. It's principle. It's a stance saying that people matter. That community matters.

It's undeniable we have a sleepy town. It's something most of us actually prefer. But never have I seen downtown more lively than when hundreds of people pack the streets for LOTA. I, and potentially even you for that matter, cannot truly know the effect that opening downtown to pedestrians has on some of the local businesses, but I can't help but be a bit skeptical of the claim that LOTA is responsible for lost revenue. It would be a shame to neuter this community event because of potentially misplaced frustration.

I will continue to attend LOTA regardless of what you choose (although, the thought of hundreds of people filing in and out of Creek Park onto the little sidewalk to accommodate 20 cars is little silly), but I truly hope you continue LOTA as is and continue to make San Anselmo the best city in Marin.

Thank You,

I am in favor of Option B: Continue the Current Framework.

While Fridays are generally the night that works best for our family, the real reason is that this has become a special summer tradition our kids/family/friends look forward to each year. It’s not only incredibly fun but also a meaningful community gathering that brings families together from across Marin. These evenings feel truly magical, and we deeply appreciate all that San Anselmo does to foster such fun, safe, and memorable experiences.

Kindly,
Carly

I read through the data and I’m confused at how you arrived at option a) given that the majority of attendees want both nights to continue as is, and when the data shows that Fridays are more heavily trafficked. From looking at those data points, I’d say that Fridays should remain the same, and if you were to change anything, it would be the Saturday event.

If option a) is to appease the businesses, you need to dig into the data about lost revenue because 33% of businesses who responded weren’t even open during LOA. I’d like to better understand, out of the 33% who said they lost revenue, if they were open multiple nights throughout the season and what they lost revenue to - did it go into paying someone to work those hours? Was it because they decided to close early for LOA? And which businesses lost revenue? Every restaurant on the block had a line out the door every weekend, so is it specifically retail or services? There definitely is a 3rd or 4th option to consider given how much attendees love the event. Maybe you can consider starting later in the year as July seems slower than the rest of the months, or skipping one weekend a month, especially around holidays.

I’m relatively new to San anselmo and live right down the street from downtown, and I brought my son to meet up with several families every single Friday. And every Friday we all purchased food and alcohol from the local businesses in order to support them and to enjoy good food, drink and music altogether.

It made for a really nice end of day and end of week activity for my family. I vote to keep Fridays as is, if anything, as Saturdays are tougher to attend during the summers since there is a lot of traveling happening over the weekends.

Thanks for listening!
Best,
Catherine Linn

Please Keep Live on the Avenue Programming the Same
From David Kolek <[email protected]>

To Recreation <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
Greetings,
As a resident of San Anselmo for almost 20 years, I wanted to voice my strong support for keeping the Live on the Avenue programming the same in future years, with the streets closed on both Fridays and Saturdays and with live music in all venues, and all other programming the same. This event is one of the best and most vibrant things to happen to San Anselmo in the 20 years I've lived here and it is the rare occasion when people from all ages and walks of live in the town come together "in real life." Closed streets for a few hours 2 nights a week seems a very small price to pay for the town businesses, particularly given that in exchange for this "inconvenience" they receive the highest amount of foot traffic the town ever enjoys.

Respectfully,
David Kolek

Hello,
I understand the Town is considering scaling back LOTA. I am writing to share my concerns/feedback regarding the proposal and hope the Town will ultimately decide to maintain LOTA as currently implemented.

My husband and I have been building our dream home in San Anselmo the past couple years. During this time, we drove from San Rafael and attended LOTA many many times, this past summer we attended just about every weekend that we were in town with our toddler. Before we had a child we often invited friends and family to attend with us, and those from outside the community shared how great it was that the Town did this. Once we had a child, we continued to go but instead took advantage of the wonderful programming for children there - and have loved meeting other young families there. We often talked about how excited we were to be able to walk to this event the following year when we moved into our home (which we now have done). We will be extremely disappointed if the event is scaled back in any way or discontinued.

I do not understand the supposed concerns from the local businesses- we patron the many restaurants in the area during LOTA purely because it is right there next to LOTA. Were it not for LOTA we would not be dining/ patroning those establishments remotely as close to as frequently. And the music and other families walking the streets adds so much to the ambiance of those establishments.

I also do not understand the proposals to continue a part of LOTA for concerts but not shut down the street. It is so wonderful to be able to bring scooters and little bikes for the little toddlers and have a safe area that the community can gather away from the cars/cyclist traffic, and yet still hear some of the loud music from the park from a distance. Having been born and raised in San Anselmo right next to the downtown, attending LOTA in the street feels very reminiscent of what it was like to grow up in San Anselmo in the 90s. And I think it is very special that the Town has consistent opportunities for everyone from the young to the old to gather in the community.

Additionally, having only the creek park and sidewalks is not a safe option considering the hundreds (or thousands?) of families of young children that attend.

Sincerely,
164
Ellen & Mike Demson

Hello,
I was born (in 1988) and raised in San Anselmo, and now as a mom of two young kids it has been one of the greatest joys of my life to see them enjoy downtown San Anselmo in ways I only ever could have dreamed of as a kid! My family cherishes our Friday and Saturday nights downtown with our community and friends, where we laugh, play, eat & drink, shop, and soak up the summer nights trusting that our children are safe to run around thanks to the street being closed to cars. It feels like a taste of Europe, and it’s amazing! It would be absolutely heartbreaking to lose this summer event or have it greatly modified, as these weekends bring our community together in ways that are magical and meaningful.

This event is the best thing to ever happen to San Anselmo in my lifetime, and makes our community that much more of a Marin gem. Please keep Live on the Ave as is for years to come! Respectfully,
Emily Brucia & Family

Quick notes:
-Our family generally only attends friday nights, so would prefer streets to be closed that night. -Are two nights needed?
-Other two cents since asked :) the addition of commercial booths like att fiber, multiple paid face paint booths with 30-1 hr lines, outside food vendors really took away from the family / town feel. Just felt like another fair managing standing in lines for things kids want vs them running around being kids.

Thanks for working to improve a great event!

LOTA - Option B: Continue the Current Framework Please
From Gabriel Levine <[email protected]>
Date Wed 12/3/2025 2:25 PM
To Recreation <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
I am writing to urge the Town Council to continue LOTA in the same framework for 2026.

When the vast majority of town residents polled prefer to keep both nights as is, it would be an extraordinary mistake to effectively decrease the LOTA experience to one night solely to accommodate the preference of about half of the "businesses" (including property owners and office workers, not just retail, services, and food and beverage) polled to have just one night.

LOTA has had much to do with the recent transformation of San Anselmo Avenue, not just on summer weekend evenings, to a vibrant gathering spot for San Anselmo families and kids. It has always had potential, but that potential is only over the last few years started to be realized. Effectively decreasing LOTA to one night would inevitably set us back. Ultimately, this is good not just for San Anselmo residents but for the businesses that operate in our town.

Let's remember, we're really just talking about keeping vehicles off of a couple blocks for a few hours each Friday and Saturday evening during the summer.

The benefits of maintaining the current structure outweigh the negatives.

Thank you for your consideration.

Please do not change anything about this event. It has become a staple of Marin summer time and is a legendary event. No other town is able to pull this off! It has become a symbol of our community values and is a huge driver for young families to move to our town! It showcases how we value safety, connection, community, and fun. If you strip this down because of a handful of business complaints, you are losing the big picture potential. This event brings in long-term growth to our community. Your new AI has some incredible quantitative data points. Is there a trend showing that one night of the weekend is always stronger than the other? I think there are major trade offs and pros/cons to both.

My family loves that We are able to go to the event at least once a weekend because we have two nights to choose from. We do not go to both nights. If the event was only offered on Saturday, then we would probably frequent the event less often overall. Simply because you cannot always be free the same night every week.

Thank you for the opportunity to share an opinion. Good luck with this decision. 174

Hi,
I have been living in San Anselmo for 4 years and am a mother of a 1 year old boy. I am sad to hear there is a possibility that Live on the Avenue scheduling may be changing. I am opposed to the change and hope we are able to maintain the existing scheduling. These are important community events that create a safe space for families and people of all ages to get together and celebrate being together.

I actually think any changes will have adverse effects to the local businesses as well.

Thank you for taking my opinion into consideration.

Date Wed 12/3/2025 12:25 PM

CAUTION: External Sender
Dear Council/Committee members,
I prefer the revised proposal but still don’t think it is optimal. I think one band at the creek would be plenty of music vs the two music stages and would actually do that both nights. However, I think one music night per weekend would be plenty. Pick whichever one has less competition from other towns’ programs. I’m not clear how opening the street while music is happening at the creek would be helpful to businesses (I am not a business owner in town, just a local resident). I think the parking challenge for this event would just lead to massive traffic jams and gridlock on San Anselmo Ave so anyone hoping to come in for “normal” evening activities in town like shopping and dining would either be double parking and running into businesses, or just figure it would be too hectic trying to get parked to bother.

Perhaps, if the vendors find value in the second band at the town hall to drive foot traffic down the Avenue it would be better to just do one night, either Friday or Saturday, with two bands and full street closure.

Hello and happy holidays,
I am in full support of keeping the live on the avenue going just as it has been the past few years, both Sat. and Sunday nights, both spots, with street closures. These are fantastic family-friendly events that bring many people out to support the town’s businesses. Some may not be open at the time, but it is good visual exposure, nevertheless. Good for everyone. I would not worry about the street closure times, as I do not feel it impacts businesses as much as store owners say it does. People will find parking on side streets or on SFD if they need to run an errand or pick up food, or other items during this time period.

I have many music loving friends who attend these events and I can say for certain that they would love it to stay the same as well. Thank you !!!!

Hi team!
I shared some thoughts in the special meeting on this -- the more I thought about it, the more I came to believe in Option B+, which I define as, keeping the two nights WITH the earlier start AND adding incentives for commercial retail activity.

Nights: While I definitely continue to support testing and iterating, I also think keeping the two nights is good for consistency, continuity and simplicity. People/residents/out-of-towners can count on LOTA to be there Fri and Sat, they don't have to check a website or calendar to see what to plan for, or be surprised/turned off when one day is different than the other.

Retail incentives: I think we can come up with (relatively) easy-ish ways to drive business to nonrestaurant businesses during LOTA. The one I threw out is, "bring a purchase receipt from a retail shop tonight and get a free beer." I bet we could come up with better ones. Since the upside to restaurants is so big to have two nights AND to start earlier, they should be motivated to come up with ideas of their own. I think for a restaurant like Cucina, having LOTA start an hour earlier gives them almost an entire additional early dinner seating.

Sorry my thoughts and ideas aren't more organized this time...just wanted to share while it was top of mind.

Best,
-Javier

Dear San Anselmo Recreation Families,
Live on The Avenue is at a turning point for 2026, and your voice is urgently needed to help decide its future. The Town must quickly find the right balance between our community’s desire to gather and celebrate in our vibrant downtown and the needs of our businesses, some of whom have expressed concern about the event's impact on their business vitality.

Two options are on the table for 2026:

Option A: Hybrid Event Weekends (if Creek Park Plaza re-opens) Fridays: Music and entertainment ONLY in the Creek Park Amphitheater (No street closure and no additional programming)
Saturdays: Full event as usual (music in both venues, street closure, additional programming, etc.)
Option B: Continue the Current Framework
Fridays & Saturdays: Full event both nights (music in both venues, street closures both nights, programming both nights, etc.)
Your input now will directly shape what happens next year. Please make your voice heard by either attending the meeting below or emailing your comments as soon as possible to [email protected].

I support Option B and hope there is activation within LOTA that would get us in the stores more.

Maybe a shopping special or punch card where you go around and find the shops. Get us in there to buy more if folks are losing revenue.

We can have it closed AND promote them in more creative ways.

Thank you for making S.A. THE best!

Live on the Avenue is one of our family’s most loved activities of the summer and fall. Please do not get rid of it! We love the street closure and find such great community at the event. Our daughter attends st anselm (we live in San Rafael) and she always sees her friends and really enjoys going. The street closure is the best part! We have dinner at creekside then wander down the avenue.

This is what makes san anselmo the amazing family community it is! The Basilio Family

They already killed parking revenue. They can participate in the Avenue activities and be creative in how.

As far as the town is concerned, alternate the blocks that are closed to reduce the street if it is a huge issue.

The business are closing because they are not good, not because the streets are closed to accommodates hundreds and hundreds of wealthy Marin families walking around. jonathan j. nasca

Creating community

CAUTION: External Sender
I’ve been attending live on the Avenue for a while now and I absolutely Love it! It provides an amazing opportunity to experience community with people from all over Marin. We come in we go to your restaurants. We shop in your boutiques and we enjoy the music. Some of the things I particularly like are that there are two locations at once playing …that makes it absolutely Perfect because sometimes I might not be as into one band, but I still stay in the area and simply get a walk down to the other.

Although I live in Corte Madera, all my friends and I go to live on the Avenue all summer long both with San Anselmo residents and general Marin folk. It’s the highlight of the summer for sure! I do think closing down the street is absolutely critical. It’s what really makes it more of a community event. If it’s a financial issue, then I’m sure we could get some more sponsors. If you are worried perhaps there’s some sort of police cost or something involved….

But when you think about it by creating community and providing this opportunity, you are actually preventing bad things from happening in your town because the people know each other recognize each each other and communicate before things get out of hand as opposed to just sitting in these big homes all by ourselves
I really thank you and the businesses who have supported this for all these years. I am 415-302-7863 and my name is Karen Herzog.

Dear San Anselmo Recreation Department,
Thank you for sharing the update on the future of Live on The Avenue.

My family and I have lived in San Anselmo for 15+ years. We have 3 children in 3 different local schools and we strongly support keeping the event in its current format (Option B). We feel that the full Friday and Saturday programming brings wonderful energy to our neighborhood and enhances the sense of community that makes San Anselmo so special. It is a special event that our whole family looks forward to every year.

We appreciate the effort that goes into organizing this event each year and hope it can continue as it is.

Thank you for considering your town members input.

CAUTION: External Sender
Hello,
I would like to see Live on the Avenue continue in its current format. I think it’s great for the residents and also believe it draws new people in for our local businesses. When I bring friends, we wander the downtown beforehand. We shop in the stores that are open and my friends usually make plans to come back for the ones they missed. I also enjoy the opportunity to meet members of my community that I wouldn’t normally come across. I’ve had some lovely conversations with people at these events.

I’m concerned that if we go to the hybrid model, it will be the first step towards cancelling it, much like the San Anselmo Art & Wine Festival. Cancelling that to appease a few, cost a number of businesses a lot of revenue. I know there is a vocal minority in Town that would like to see no events because there can be no inconvenience whatsoever to *their* customers, who must always be able to drive downtown and park in front of their store at all hours (except, really, how often does that happen, given the number of people that are circling for parking on a normal business day. The events that close the streets *do* cause some inconvenience and I know I don’t like it when I have to deal with traffic and navigate narrow backstreets to get home when I miss a closure - but - I still think it’s worth it to have these events. They bring neighbors together and draw positive attention, along with shoppers and diners, to our lovely town.

Thank you,

Hi. I’m a San Anselmo resident and homeowner. I’m not sure if I can make the remaining meeting about LOA options so I thought I’d send a few thoughts.

I really appreciate this event. And all the effort the Town and its merchants put into it. I’ve attended countless times and enjoyed the bands, bought from the Cucina and Taco Jane’s booths, Ludwig’s, Creekside.

Much as I love having the option to stroll downtown either weekend night for months and know there is a block party, and I do, I support decreasing to one night per weekend. Two is a lot. And I am concerned by how many merchants believe their business is down as a result. Also it’s a big financial commitment for the Town and its staff.

Whether or not the bridge/woodchip area reopens, I think one night would be fine for street closure and event. On the other night, hopefully people would frequent the restaurants etc. (Of the nights, I’d prefer Friday for street closure.)
Also I’d suggest asking visitors for small donations. The bands already do, as they should. But how about staff or volunteers roam around and solicit small donations? Of note - many people are coming from outside San Anselmo. That’s great. But - some spend money at our businesses. Some don’t, and bring in all they eat and drink. Not paying taxes here - and may not be thinking about what resources it takes a small town to put these fantastic events on. Regardless, a little bit from a lot of people could really add up. And everyone is really getting a lot out of it.

Thanks for all you do for the town.

Hello,
I would like to express my sincere desire for our town to continue Live on the Ave as it’s been held in years past. It’s a gathering point for our community and a safe place for our kids. My family and I love it and try to attend as many as possible. I realize this must negatively impact some businesses, but I would imagine others thrive. I especially like having an adult beverage and being able to do some shopping while eating at one of the local establishments. It’s truly one of the best parts of living in San Anselmo and no other Marin town does this which makes it so special.

Please consider keeping it as is.

Hello,
Our family has loved the current format for Live on the Avenue. San Anselmo is on the map and people we know from all over Marin and even SF have attended over the years. It is unique to San Anselmo and our wonderful town and community. That being said I do understand that some of the businesses may not appreciate it and the effects it has on their livelihood.

I will go with A which is a good solution to make everyone happy. Otherwise very happy with both nights having the Avenue closed…

Dear San Anselmo Parks and Recreation Department,
I’m writing to express my gratitude for the fantastic programming that is Live on the Avenue and to voice my support for your proposed option to keep the current framework of Live on the Avenue.

While my family and I live in Larkspur, San Anselmo is a town we spend as much time as possible in. We love your friendly and welcoming vibe, your downtown full of delightful shops, restaurants, and a fabulous library, and your commitment to Live on the Avenue. This event is something we’ve told so many friends about and invited folks from out of town and state to come to with us. We love that Live on the Avenue features local musicians, including high school bands, and stars local restaurants. We love the closure of the street - SUCH a rarity here in Marin County to be able to shut down the main drag of a town and celebrate walkability and a slower pace. We appreciate the true family friendliness of Live on the Avenue -- the kid zone is wonderful, having the street closed feels safer for toddler and kiddos to run free, and the two music areas mean there is more space to spread your family out on a blanket and have room.

Having two solid nights of fun in downtown San Anselmo every weekend makes it a destination activity - one can always rely on something fun being on the Avenue in the summertime! I hope that the Parks and Rec Department chooses to keep this unique, two day format that makes Live on the Avenue so special. The loss of the street closure on one night means the Friday event feels way less safe for families -- folks drive so fast and blow through stop signs all the time on San Anselmo Avenue, and I wouldn’t feel like I could let my toddler out of his stroller.

Not closing the street would also presumably mean the loss of the kid zone, a fun and safe haven for families. Having music in only one space on Friday reduces the breadth of music that can be on display as part of this event and means that the Creek Park Amphitheater will feel extremely crowded. I’m not sure I will feel welcome to spread out a picnic blanket for my family if space is at such a premium -- adults in lawn chairs take up much less space, so will the event still feel so welcoming to families?
Perhaps local businesses could shift hours so that they are open during Live on the Avenue and can welcome shoppers during the event. Maybe public space in front of businesses could be differently protected and utilized so shops, restaurants, and vendors could bring tables and sales out onto the sidewalk. The businesses in San Anselmo are so wonderful and creative, I feel it's inevitable that unique solutions can be found! With gratitude for your programming and your work,
Lauren Alexander

I wanted to express how much I love Live on the Avenue. I go nearly every weekend, often both on Friday and Saturday. I love that the street is closed and so many people are on the street, talking, eating, enjoying themselves.

And I love having two music venues to choose from: the smaller bands by Sugarfoot and the larger bands in Creek Park. They both have such a different feel.

I hope you will continue the current framework. There is no way Fridays would feel as festive as they do now if the street were not closed off. I think attendance would suffer as well. I like the format we have now. It has worked for several years, the popularity continues to grow, and I think it would be a shame to stunt the growth of our summer festival.

Thank you for the work you all put into getting Live on the Avenue in place every year. You do a fantastic job.

CAUTION: External Sender
To Whom it May Concern:

I understand that local businesses are proposing changes to the Live on the Avenue series for summer 2026. It is a pretty amazing community event that makes San Anselmo special and I believe it should be preserved as one of the best things the town has going.

For context I live at 65 San Rafael Ave with my wife and 4 year old son. I've read and and am reacting to the LOTA Survey Results. If other accommodations can be made for the businesses to help them (e.g., licensing changes for booths, additional sales opportunities, hours, etc.) I would be for that, but my real answer would be that change is good, and they may need to change to adapt, rather than trying to preserve some status quo. They should be encouraged to adapt, innovate and improve or choose to do nothing and stagnate. It seems overwhelmingly clear that the residents prefer and love the LOTA events as they were last summer and stand in the majority.

I would be very upset to see a vocal minority of stakeholders hold the rest of the town hostage over this and force LOTA programming to be reduced in subversion of the obvious majority.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I and my neighbors will be watching the results of the December 16th meeting closely. I would attend, but being that it's at 4:30p on a Tuesday and we're a household of 2 full-time working parents in exec roles, that is unfortunately not possible. Let's ensure the residents voices that have been solicited are listened to.

Thanks for the email requesting input. I think Option A should be seriously considered. Friday is still a working, week day - and it's a hassle to have SA Ave closed. It seems that by moving music and events to Creek Park makes perfect sense.

The business owners' responses should carry the most weight. While I realize some may have increased business, I'm certain it negatively impacts others.

Good luck!

I want to add to the comments shared below. LOTA has become an important part of our family’s routine, and it has also shaped how we spend our time and money in downtown San Anselmo.

On LOTA weekends, we regularly stop into the local places we have come to appreciate. We pick up pastries or bread from M.H. Bread and Butter, grab coffee at Barton’s, get dinner from Cucina, Creekside, Comforts, or Marvin’s, and often bring home something from Baker and Cook. When we have relatives or friends visiting, we take them to Insalata’s or Madcap and walk them through the center of town.

LOTA is what brings us downtown and keeps us connected to these businesses.

Without it, we would not be in the area as often, especially during the summer.

There is something special about seeing families on the street, kids on scooters, neighbors stopping to talk, and the restaurants full because people are already out enjoying the evening. The street closure is part of what makes that possible. It creates a place where families can relax and feel safe, and where the businesses feel more woven into the life of the community.

LOTA is one of the few things that truly brings people of all ages together. For our family, it has been a highlight of living here. I hope the Town keeps it exactly as it is, because scaling it back would take away something meaningful for the community and for the businesses that benefit from the energy it brings.

Hello,
I understand the Town is considering scaling back LOTA. I am writing to share my concerns/feedback regarding the proposal and hope the Town will ultimately decide to maintain LOTA as currently implemented.

I do not understand the supposed concerns from the local businesses- we patron the many restaurants in the area during LOTA purely because it is right there next to LOTA.

Were it not for LOTA we would not be dining/ patroning those establishments remotely as close to as frequently. And the music and other families walking the streets adds so much to the ambiance of those establishments.

Having been born and raised in San Anselmo right next to the downtown, attending LOTA in the street feels very reminiscent of what it was like to grow up in San Anselmo in the 90s. And I think it is very special that the Town has consistent opportunities for everyone from the young to the old to gather in the community.

Additionally, having only the creek park and sidewalks is not a safe option considering the hundreds (or thousands?) of families of young children that attend.

We love meeting friends and neighbors there and our kids (Wade Thomas students) love going and meeting up with their friends. You know we have a good thing going when other towns (ahem Ross and Corte Madera) try their own shorter events.

I also love that our town supports so much live music. Ross Valley School District is known for its amazing music program, especially for 5th-8th grades. It is important for kids not just to learn to play musical instruments but see musicians performing in the community. Archie Williams has a new dynamic music director in Mario and it’s amazing to have a community venue where high school kids can play their music. At a time where so much is going digital and AI, live music is more important than ever.

I read the results of the survey and was confused by the business responses. Which businesses are losing money during LOTA? Most non-food businesses are not even open regularly during LOTA hours.

Best regards,
Ming Lacey

Support for Continuing Live on the Avenue & Street Closures From Myia Silkaitis <[email protected]>
Date Wed 12/3/2025 3:23 PM
To Recreation <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
I’m writing as a San Anselmo resident to share my strong support for continuing Live on the Avenue next year with full street closures.

Closing the streets has been a really important safety measure for our kids. It allows families to relax and enjoy the music, food, and community without worrying about traffic. My kids—and so many others—are able to move around more freely and safely, which completely changes the feel of the event.

Live on the Avenue is also the one event that truly sets our town apart from other Marin communities. It brings people out, supports local businesses, and creates the kind of small-town, vibrant main street feeling that many of us value deeply. I would hate to see us lose that by scaling back or eliminating the street closures.

I hope the town will prioritize keeping Live on the Avenue—with street closures— in place for future summers. Thank you for all the work you do to make events like this possible and for considering resident feedback as you plan for next summer.

Sincerely,
Myia and Rimas Silkaitis

Hi there,
Thanks for your invitation for public comment on the options. As a downtown SA resident, here are my responses I'd like recorded:

Option A: It is confusing to have this option contingent upon Creek Park re-opening. As far as I'm aware, the city does not know when Creek Park would re-open, as that is up to the county. Hard to vote on something that is an unknown quantity.

Given that my vote would be for Option B: Continue. Unless you can clarify the language for Option A.

I'd like to add an Option C: Do the event on one night of the week only, which I would support. It's an awesome program but I'm not sure we need both nights of every weekend in the summer.

Thanks again for all you do,
Natalie

Hi friends,
Strong preference from our family for keeping it 2 nights.

Medium preference for a 5:30 start since we have young kiddos (and most people there seem to. And certainly the ones we’re trying to meet up with).
100% preference for keeping the street blocked off to cars. That adds such a nice, community & almost European feel. Makes us proud of our town and for the toddlers and kiddos it’s magical.

Sorry the businesses aren’t doing as well. Maybe they could do tents, or we could re-kindle the Art & Wine daytime festival idea, and have them benefit hugely from the foot traffic and visitors? ? Thanks,
Onno & Lindsey (and our 2 kiddos)

Option B, please.

As the survey showed the _community_ loves the street closures and people like it being 2 days a week.

I also think we should give much less weight to the local business' feedback in regards to shrinking down to one day a week - after the paid parking debacle this year I can't say I have too much trust in the opinions of some of the local business owners.

I live at 869 San Anselmo Ave and come down to the music almost every weekend between July and September.

I vote Option A, as it's more fair to the business owners.

I rarely come down more than one night a weekend, so for me, I wouldn't be missing anything and it's a benefit to the businesses.

We need to keep our small businesses there.

Hi San Anselmo Rec Team
Thank you for reaching out and for all the work that goes into Live on The Avenue each year. I’m writing to share my support and express how much my family and I appreciate the current framework.

The full Friday–Saturday format creates a vibrant, energetic downtown atmosphere that brings our community together in such a meaningful way. The consistent programming across both nights makes the event predictable, easy for families to plan around, and a real highlight of our summers. We love the sense of connection and shared experience that the current setup provides. Closing the street provides walkability and safe spaces for my children to explore without worrying about cars.

I understand the need to balance community enjoyment with business vitality, and I hope a path forward can be found that maintains the existing model while continuing to support our local businesses. The event brings me and my family there most weekends for shopping and dinner. We would not come and spend that money if it were not for this event. From my perspective, the current framework contributes greatly to the character of San Anselmo.

Thank you again for your dedication to this event and for inviting community input.

Best regards,
Philip Mooney

Thanks for looking into options for Live on the Avenue.

I suggest option A. We live near downtown and support our local businesses. But- during the summer on Friday afternoons we never go downtown to shop or go out to eat. It is too crowded and loud. It also shuts down the streets too early to cars on a Friday afternoon when we would normally stop to shop on our way home from work/kids activities.

We support Live on The Avenue for one night a weekend. But- not both nights.

Thank you,

Hi Rec team,
I will try to leave work early to attend in person to hear what other folks are saying and who shows up, but my vote would be for Option A...one night street closure on Saturdays, to appease the businesses that claim street closure both nights hurts their businesses. Containing the Friday events to a smaller area will allow residents and visitors to park, dine, and shop on the Avenue on Fridays. It will be up to the stores to pivot hours and market the opportunity to shop on Fridays without chaos.

Just wait....the next complaint from businesses will be that Friday event attendees are taking all of the street parking from their customers who are trying to shop and dine on Fridays.

Hi there,
Live on The Ave is one of the main reasons my family chose to join the San Anselmo community. The gathering is vibrant, welcoming, and a reflection of what makes this town special. I hope it continues for many years to come.

I’m very concerned about the lack of safety considerations in the proposed Option A. It would force people, including many children, onto narrow sidewalks with cars passing close by. Option B, continuing the current framework, is the safer choice.

If businesses have concerns about their vitality during Live on The Ave, I encourage the Town of San Anselmo to adjust its internal planning to better incorporate and support local businesses so they can participate in this beloved community event.

Best,

HiMy name is Ruth Ann Keene and my husband and I have lived in San Anselmo since 2007 including both in the flats and on the hill. We have two children who are now in high school who have grown up in San Anselmo. We are HUGE fans of Live on the Avenue and would like it to continue both nights as is. We find this a fabulous community builder for our town that creates community across ages.

We love to stroll the avenue before dinner and watch all of the little kids SAFELY running around and enjoying the activities. We love dining outside at the restaurants and running into friends we don't otherwise see. EVERY SINGLE TIME I am at Live on the Avenue I learn about a new shop downtown that I then follow up and visit. We definitely visit the stores that are open during LOTA and I have friends from other towns who never come to San Anselmo except to attend LOTA. I work in the city and am not downtown during the day so love the opportunity to go down and see what is new. I understand that some shop owners do not love LOTA but I think the ones that stay open do love it and I also am not sure that we should be indexing for store revenues on those days. Community matters and this is a fabulous multi-age event. We love that we come down a little later sometimes just as the families with much younger children are off to bed (thus opening parking) and the older residents are hanging out enjoying the music. I feel strongly that this event is the best thing that has happened to San Anselmo and I definitely go out of my way to support businesses that support LOTA.

Thanks,

Hi!
I'm a relatively new resident (~1.5 years) living in downtown San Anselmo. We're a family of four with two little ones, 5 and 1. We love this town and plan on living here for at least the next 20 years.

Live on the Ave is arguably our favorite part of living here. We've built so much of our community on Fri and Sat nights during the summer gathering with other parents, neighbors, and friends from San Anselmo and neighboring towns.

I'm very sympathetic to the needs of our businesses, as the sporadic empty storefronts and turnover is a clear indicator of the challenges of running a business here. We're big supporters of several stores and restaurants, and very pro-small business.

That said, can we get creative about how to continue to support downtown businesses while maintaining the regularly scheduled program? It adds so much to our quality of life and has really become a staple in how the greater Bay Area recognizes San Anselmo.

Thank you for sending this email.

We feel strongly that having this two nights a week is preferred. It's already jam packed almost every night outside of holiday weekends (like June 30th). So reducing to one night would increase the congestion and make it feel untenable to even walk. If you do reduce to one night, the street becomes unsafe for families who enjoy the peace of letting your kids walk in a car free zone.

What % of businesses who indicated that they lose revenue were outside of the perimeter or other? It would make more send to help those businesses find a way to have a presence in the perimeter to offset their perception of lost costs. How many were food versus retail? We need more food options anyway so supporting them with the startup cost in creating a booth as a tax credit to them could be a great win win.

Live on the Ave draws a lot of people into town, even if they’re not shopping in the retail stores on those specific evenings, they get to know San Anselmo, enjoy the atmosphere, and often return to support local businesses throughout the year. The event really strengthens the overall ecosystem of the town.

It would be such a loss to our family if the town changed the schedule this summer. Thank you again for including us in the discussion.

As residents with Young kids, I would vote for Option B and keep the current framework. Live on the Avenue is an awesome event for the town. Still having music and an event on Friday night but not closing the streets will create a major Safety issue with kids still walking around but the streets not closed. It will also create packed sidewalks and people will be overflowing in the streets.

From Shea Putnam <[email protected]>
Date Wed 12/3/2025 2:19 PM

CAUTION: External Sender
I would prefer option B, keep the event as is.
1) A lot of the attendees stop over at LotA coming home from work on Friday and meet their families there, so Friday nights actually seem to have more people than Saturday (which is reflected in your survey results). Street closure for families is a huge draw. 2) It's really unclear from these survey results if the businesses that are saying they are Never open during LotA would be open if it wasn't for the event happening. Are these businesses closing BECAUSE of LotA, or are they closed regardless of the event?
3) Are the businesses that are saying they think they lost out on revenue because of LotA, actually losing revenue during that time, or is it a perception? Are they losing revenue because they made the choice to be closed and would otherwise be open? Are they open specifically for LotA, and the revenue it's brings in during that time doesn't cover the cost of being open? 4) I think it would be useful to see a breakdown of the businesses that say they are losing revenue by category or size, and regular opening hours. Is there a common denominator here that can be addressed? Mostly restaurants? Mostly clothing?
I think before changing an event that people love, there needs to be more evidence for actual harm to businesses.

For example, the town council caved way too fast about the street parking, a push driven mostly by a few business owners and people who are unfamiliar with smartphones.

Also, meetings about stuff like LotA and the paid parking are held during times when working adults with families can't really attend them, leading to an outsize proportion of the vocal attendees being retired and in an entirely different demographic than the people who will be living in this town for another 50 years. I am working and can't attend the meeting on this, but would be happy to say this exact thing to the council if I could.

Don't let them bully you about this.

I would like you to be one night devoted to more mellow music, big band sound jazz, standards, music that people that are older recognize and felt with a special night to come on down When I mentioned this idea to some 50-year-old, they thought it would be great too So I’m putting in my voice once again for some variety in the types of music And one time only some reserve seating for older people like the residence of Tam House Suellen Lamorte

With that said.... it's curious that business think the event "hurts" their business, as the event brings hundreds of people right to the shops.... wondering what is the issue they have.

Thanks for the opportunity to provide some feedback! Your survey data makes the choice pretty obvious - 83% of respondents want to keep it as is without a change to the Friday nights. 97% of respondents had an overall impression of good or better. Congratulations to the town for putting on such a resounding success and thank you for the hard work! Live on the Ave is an incredible enrichment to our lives here.

I find the pushback from a minority of the business owners to be disingenuous and short-sighted.

There is no doubt that the event draws in new potential customers (60% of attendees are from outside San Anselmo). The events draw visibility to our downtown area and perhaps those visitors are not shopping at those stores that evening, but the brand awareness of each merchant is greatly improved by the fact that those visitors are walking by their stores and looking a their display windows. Many of the stores wouldn't even normally be open during the times Live on the Ave occurs so there's very little possibility of any negative impact. The retail/restaurant landscape in downtown San Anselmo certainly appears to be stronger than in other shopping districts in Marin and Live on the Ave is undoubtedly a big part of that success.

So, to summarize, I love Option B and I believe Option A would be a big mistake. That's the conclusion that your data makes clear.

Option A sounds great.

It gives a relaxed Friday night, and a chance for businesses to operate as usual. And people may be more up for a full night out with street closure etc on Saturday.

Live on the Avenue has brought much joy to our family and friends. It is what makes San Anselmo shine brighter than every other town in Marin. We have friends who come from Mill Valley and San Francisco to experience this safe and fun environment.

Not only would we like to see Live on the Avenue continue as is, but it would be a safety issue should the town not close the street down during this festive period. As you know, many families with young children attend this event. There is a lot to see and do. For the sake of the safety of the community, our children and elderly, closing the street down during these events is not only the safe, smart thing to do, but as the event coordinators, it is your responsibility to ensure all event goers are provided a safe environment.

I'm happy to provide additional context.

Please keep Live on the Avenue as is and looking forward to a festive 2026! --

Fwd: Live on the Avenue - Options feedback from resident, parent, voter From Vladimir A. Vakulenko <[email protected]>
Date Wed 12/3/2025 11:56 AM
To Recreation <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
Hello,
I am writing as I am likely unable to attend one of the planning meetings seeking community input. I am strongly opposed to the Hybrid option proposed by the town manager (Referenced below : street closures only on Saturday night).

Live on the Avenue is a massive family event with lots of young and older children enjoying the music, activities, and gathering space. Moving this to a hybrid event on one night would create significant risk of injury and liability for the town.

THe event will still have high numbers of pedestrians and children all crowded onto sidewalks (and likely spilling into non-closed off streets) on Friday nights, almost guaranteed to result in some vehicle to pedestrian traffic accidents. The town will then face liability claims for the failure to close street traffic for such a large gathering of people, knowing full in advance (after 4 years of data) on the size of gatherings to expect. Should a judge / jury not agree to such claims, the town will still face litigation expenses to defend itself from the guaranteed actions to come from preventable accidents. 2,000 TO 3,000 nightly visitors (per the data) is a very hgih amount to host down town without street closures. If this was a private event, no insurance carrier would sign off liability coverage knowing in advance the organzier chose not to close streets.

Furthermore, I do not believe the claims from businesses that 3-4 hours of closed street traffic on Friday & Saturdays is hurting their sales. This is a huge amount of foot traffic downtown that any other business in San Anselmo or Marin would love to see for eye viewership and free advertising, so I fail to understand how any downtown business is being negatively affected. Perhaps they would be better served with learning marketing and business management vs. asking the town to put on such a popular event in a dangerous and likely liable and expensive manner.

Options for 2026:

The discussion will include an overview of the 2025 event feedback and data, as well as two proposed options for the 2026 season:

Option A: Hybrid Event Weekends (assumes the Creek Park Plaza is reopened):

Fridays: Music/entertainment only in Creek Park Amphitheater (no street closure or additional programming)
Saturdays: Full event as usual (music in both venues, street closure, etc.) Option B: Two nights of the Full Event each Weekend:

Fridays & Saturdays: Full event both nights (music in both venues, street closure, etc.) There is a lot to consider, please attend one of the meetings so we can gather comprehensive feedback from our community.

Street closure for music
From Wallace McOuat <[email protected]>
Date Sat 12/6/2025 2:49 PM
To Recreation <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
We were under the impression that the strong community consensus was to retain the Friday and Saturday street closures for entertainment. It’s disappointing to see that this is still being disputed.

If it were a fiscal issue – i.e., the Town could not raise the funding for it – then we would understand and concur.

However, it is our understanding that some business owners are alleging that it hurts their sales. I find that position to border on preposterous. Anyone who is a regular customer or wants to become a new customer will have little problem visiting the establishment during other hours, the total of which vastly dwarfs the few hours that the street will be closed in the very late afternoon.

I don’t know but would be willing to bet that there’s a strong crossover between these businesses and the ones who protested the parklets, which comprise one of the few good outcomes of Covid and that still bring energy to downtown.

Some people, including a few that try to run businesses, often look for an outside excuse for sales being lower than hoped. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but it happens. Those individuals should not be allowed to thwart such a wonderful community event.

Also, we know, as do you, that a significant portion of event attendees are from outside San Anselmo and many, if not most, of them do spend money at SA businesses that they otherwise would not. These concerts are a huge win for the community.

Sincerely,
Wallace & Claire

Live on the Avenue Possible Change & Options for 2026

CAUTION: External Sender
Hi San Anselmo Recreation Department Team!
Thank you for running the survey, providing the results, and seeking additional input on Live on the Avenue. First, I'd like to say that I attended almost every weekend with my family and often both nights. Almost every time, we spent money at multiple businesses. I am also one of the many people who wished it had continued to start slightly earlier due to navigating bedtimes.

Of the two options presented in the email, I prefer "Option B: Continue the Current Framework" and believe the survey results provide a lot of support for this option.

The survey results state:
83% said they prefer that the series be maintained at two evenings/weekend 90% Loved strolling the closed Avenue
73% said Music at Town Hall
61% said their kids played on the Avenue
79% of respondents said they would be more likely to patronize a business who is a Live on the Avenue sponsor
73% visited the local restaurants on those evenings
71% said they purchased food or drinks at the tent vendors 60% said they visited open stores
Comment: “We definitely support the downtown businesses a lot more as a result of these events…”
52% of businesses said they either preferred twice a weekend or were neutral.

Given that a vast majority of community respondents said the wanted the event to remain two evenings AND loved strolling the closed avenue AND visited restaurants and open stores AND a slight majority of businesses preferred twice a weekend or were neutral about it, it seems clear that Option B: Continue the Current Framework is the best choice.

As far as the input from businesses in the survey, it is interesting that the same percent (33%) reported "decreased revenue" and "never being open during LOTA". If those two involve heavy overlap, then great followup questions would have been "Have you ever tried being open during LOTA given how many people say they visit restaurants and stores during the event?" and "Would you be open at those times if LOTA were not happening?". (There is a chance some businesses reported losing revenue because they don't like LOTA but wouldn't be open during those hours anyways) 271
Finally, the way the email reads implies that Option A is contingent on the Plaza reopening. Picking Option A before knowing if the plaza will be open would create uncertainty for the community, downtown businesses, and event planners. I am guessing my opinion here is unpopular, but I don't think the plaza should reopen, I think the removal and Reimagine Creek Park projects should move forward ASAP and that it would be irresponsible to reopen the plaza to the public if it is considered structurally unsound.

Thank you for your time and consideration,
Johnnie Chamberlin

Hi!
I’ve recently caught wind that there is a wish to limit next year‘s live on the avenue to one day a week and as a local business owner (used to own Souvenir and now Bar Voyage) who has been a part of recent years wave of new energy into town, not to mention investing tons of money and time into our projects - These street closures are so important for businesses like ours.

In my opinion I think the whole town would benefit from that portion of the street always being close to be honest it should just turn into a bike road with benches and grass. If there are any businesses that think that having that much foot traffic and being closed in the evening impedes what they do then they probably shouldn’t be around because they probably aren’t offering anything to the community.

As more restaurants and things that require a lot of risk and capitol to build start trying to plant roots here (New keintz hall etc) it’s vital that the town have a forward thinking agenda to support the new generations of business and business owners who want to see more of a lively aspect to this town that makes it special, not more of the sleepy small town watch the world go by mentality.

Limiting the live on the Avenue to one day a week would be a massive blow to a lot of these businesses that are carrying a lot of the weight of the town when it comes to being able to go out and enjoy a drink or enjoy music or coffee you name it so unless you want a street full of hair salons again I would really take a closer look at this. That’s my opinion as a local business owner.

Changes proposed to Live on the Ave
From Corey Wood <[email protected]>
Date Thu 12/11/2025 4:07 PM
To Recreation <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
Hello town of San Anselmo,
It has been brought to my attention that San Anselmo is considering some changes to Live on the Ave.

I am requesting to please keep Live on the Ave as is (option B) with the full event on Fridays and Saturdays - with street closures both nights, music in both venues, and programming both nights.

My family and I live at: 16 Ramona Way, San Anselmo, CA 94960. We moved here three years ago from San Francisco and didn't know a single person in San Anselmo. For the past three years we have attended most of the Live on the Ave events, it has become a ritual for us. It is where we see friends, where we meet new friends, where our girls (4 and 6) play with their classmates, and where we go to enjoy the beauty of our town and community. As a father, being able to watch my kids enjoy being worry-free kids, running around, playing in the Kid Zone, dancing to the music, and covering themselves with chocolate ice cream is something I cherish. Live on the Ave is one of our favorite things about living in San Anselmo.

Because of Live on the Ave, we have become good friends with local business owners like Frank Gomez from Wink Optics, Matteo from Taco Jane, Jeffrey Ranke from Harvest Wealth Management, and Michael Feldman - who has now taught our girls art and hosted their birthday parties. We love to support Michael Christoff who took an idea of bringing a different flavor of music and dance and made it into "Its a Vibe" - we are so proud of what he and his crew have created. These relationships would not have happened without Live on the Ave.

Every weekend we come to Live on the Ave, we get pizzas at Creekside, burritos from Voyage, treats from San Anselmo Gelato, snacks from Taco Jane - we know how hard it is to run a restaurant and we love to support our local businesses.

Loneliness has become a major public health issue in the US, affecting people across all ages, incomes, and communities. Despite being more digitally connected than ever, we lack meaningful in-person relationships, leading to higher rates of anxiety and depression. The US Surgeon General has called it an epidemic, noting that modern lifestyles with fragmented communities have eroded daily social interaction. As a result, millions of people feel unseen, unsupported, and disconnected, with profound consequences for both individual wellbeing and societal cohesion. Live on the Ave is a solution to this problem. We need more community, more music, more art, more human to human interaction, not less.
274
I have lived in many parts of the Bay Area. I have lived in many parts of the United States. There is nothing that comes close to what San Anselmo has created with Live on the Ave. Please do everything you can to maintain the magic that has been created through the hard work of your neighbors and friends.

Sincerely,

Live on the Avenue Concerns
From Meredith Parsia <[email protected]>
Date Thu 12/11/2025 4:24 PM
To Recreation <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
Hello,
I'm writing to voice my concerns about the potential changes to Live on the Avenue next year. We vehemently want Option B; for the street to be closed both Friday and Saturday.

For the past few years, LOTA has been our Summer ritual. It's a way that we can all come together in community, spend time together, and let our children enjoy the benefits of a village-based-childhood.

We attend every single Friday evening, picking up our kids from Wade Thomas and ABC Academy and walking over. We order dinner from a local downtown restaurant (sometimes multiple), always buy Gelato - and usually a book or a piece of stationary. It is San Anselmo at it's finest - a warm, welcoming community looking out for each other and creating memories for years to come.

If the streets are not closed, we will not come. It is too hectic and unsafe for my little ones - who have come to expect the street closures and walk freely in town. I would not feel safe bringing them down while there are cars driving.

This is something our kid's look forward to every year. They counted down the days until it started up again this past Summer and I'd hate for it to be taken away.

Thank you for hearing me out.

Meredith

Keep ‘Live on the Avenue’ a twice a weekend event
From Matt Judge <[email protected]>
Date Thu 12/11/2025 4:11 PM
To Recreation <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
To whom it may concern
I’m hearing that a petition has been raised to reduce ‘Live on the Avenue’ (LOTA) to one day a weekend (only).

As a resident in San Anselmo since 2017, I’d like to share how positively impactful the LOTA event has been for our family. We attend most weeks, and usually both nights. In such an expensive county, having a place for families to socialise that costs little to nothing is a godsend. Furthermore, the event seems to attract new visitors and even business investment to the town, so is a net positive for all.

When last year the season was shortened we deeply missed what felt like a 5% reduction of weekends —cutting the number of events by 50% feels untenable.

Presumably this petition has been raised by a small but vocal minority—I’d encourage finding ways to put this decision to a wider audience of the towns population because I believe you will find a much larger population who strongly oppose any reduction of the LOTA programming.

Thanks for listening, happy to discuss further if the forum exists.

Hello,
I’m writing to share my strong support for Live on the Avenue and the wonderful sense of community it brings to San Anselmo. It has become such a special part of our town, drawing families, youth, and neighbors together to enjoy music, movies, and support local businesses.

I’m concerned about the Hybrid Option A proposal to move the music to Creek Park without the coinciding street closure. Without gates or any way to enclose the area, Creek Park alone isn’t safely able to host large crowds—especially with so many children and teens attending.

The street closure during Live on the Ave provides clear visibility, safe gathering space, and a much more controlled environment. Keeping the street open would feel nerve-wracking for parents and would likely deter families with younger children from attending.

I also want to acknowledge the thoughtful balance the town has created with the variety of musical acts and the movie nights. These offerings serve a wide range of ages and interests across our community, and it shows.

In particular, the fall season—mid-August through the end of September—has felt especially successful. Those six weeks at the start of the school year are well attended and should remain as Option B within the current framework, offering both Friday and Saturday evening entertainment.

Thank you for all the work that goes into making these events possible. They truly enrich our town.

Warmly,
Lindsay

Support for Option B: Keep Live on the Avenue as Is

CAUTION: External Sender
Hello,
As a resident of San Anselmo, I would like to voice my strong support for Option B: Continue the Current Framework for Live on the Avenue.

Pulling back from one of the best community events in the Bay Area would be a major mistake. My family and I attend almost every weekend. We have likely been almost 20 times this year, and we spend about $80 each night we go. We bring more friends and extended family to downtown San Anselmo during Live on the Avenue than on all other nights combined.

Live on the Avenue is where we see our neighbors, where our kids run into their friends, and what we show our out-of-town visitors to highlight the best of our town. It is also when we do most of our shopping and eating in downtown San Anselmo. The event makes it easy to support local businesses because the atmosphere is lively, welcoming, and safe. I would actually love to see more shops and restaurants open during the event, not fewer.

Removing Friday street closures would undermine what makes Live on the Avenue work. I would not bring my family if cars were moving through the center of it. The street closure is what creates the sense of community and safety that defines the event.

My two young children have grown up going to Live on the Avenue. Even my three-year-old knows the phrase “downtown San Anselmo” because of this event. He doesn’t have that connection to any other place.

Please keep Live on the Avenue going in its current form. It is the best thing to happen to San Anselmo in years, and it is a key reason why families like mine feel connected to this town.

Hi team,
Just writing a quick note in favor of keeping both Fri + Saturday for Live on the Ave in 2026. I was not able to attend the community meetings due to work commitments.

I regularly tell people I live in San Anselmo and LOTA comes up every single time as what our town is known for! Over the past few years we have attended mostly Friday and some Saturday events.

I understand there are concerns from a minority of stores in town, but with 2 young kids, there is almost zero chance we would head downtown on Friday nights without LOTA, so it would be a big loss.

Hello,
I live in Ross but appreciate the community gathering that is Live on the Avenue. I support continuation of the two days per week, even though I am not a regular attendee. I depend on a vital downtown San Anselmo, and if this event is positive for merchants and residents, why not keep it going in its current form?
I would suggest that live music could be slightly less loud, as I can hear it on the top of Wellington Avenue where I live over a mile away.

But I support the current LOTA in is current form, which I am told is Option B.

Opinion of Long Time San Anselmo Resident - Live on the Avenue From Alex Narodny <[email protected]>
Date Fri 12/12/2025 1:34 PM
To Recreation <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
Good afternoon,
I'm writing to express my opinion on recent news that Live on The Avenue may be changing its structure to limit the street closures to one night a week instead of two.

I'm 38 years old. I grew up in San Anselmo and have now lived here about 32 years of my life. I'm a full time residential real estate agent, and San Anselmo is one of my primary markets. Suffice it to say, this is my home and I'm familiar with how the town has changed over the years.

As someone that's a native, but also speaking for people that are moving to San Anselmo from all over the world - Trust me when I say that Live on the Avenue is hands down, without question the best thing that has ever happened to the San Anselmo community. It is the first thing people think about or talk about when the topic of San Anselmo is brought up. For people interested in purchasing a property here, it is a substantial selling point and it is always brought up as an advantage to living in the community. Therefore, one can conclude that Live on the Avenue has substantially contributed to real estate values, especially the properties that are walking distance to downtown. This translates both tangibly and intangibly in positive ways to the community of San Anselmo. In other words, Live on the Avenue and the street closures are the sole reason that San Anselmo has such a positive reputation at the moment. The town government may think it's because of Comfort's, but trust me it is not because of Comfort's.

The other concern I want to mention is that the town is listening to a select few complaining residents while ignoring the masses. This speaks to a continued tendency to ignore the desires of young people, who are the driving force of San Anselmo's bright future.

I attend LOTA every weekend and it gives my kids, my nieces/nephews, and every other child I witness tremendous joy. It also gives stressed out and busy parents an easy chance to socialize and get out of the house without having to make firm plans. It really brings the community together.

Thank you for reading this. I vote to keep it the same with two street closures every weekend all summer long. I hope this is taken into consideration.

To Whom it May Concern,
We're hearing that there might be changes to Live on the Avenue. But I wanted to give you feedback.

The Avenue is more than a street—it’s a gathering place. Local cafés, bakeries, bookstores, and familyrun shops create a walkable, friendly environment where neighbors recognize one another and business owners know their customers by name. This kind of daily connection fosters a sense of belonging that can’t be manufactured or replaced by large chains or overdevelopment. It’s a place where you can run into friends while grabbing food, listening to music and bringing your kids to community events without needing a car.

San Anselmo’s character is deeply tied to its history and setting, and The Avenue reflects that beautifully. The scale of the street feels intentional—comfortable, invigorating, and inviting. Keeping it as it is preserves the identity of the town.

Most importantly, The Avenue works because it balances activity with livability. It’s lively without being chaotic, charming without being stagnant. Residents can enjoy a sense of energy while still feeling at home. Traffic, noise, and density are kept at levels that respect the people who live nearby and the environment that surrounds them.

Preserving The Avenue as it is means protecting San Anselmo’s identity, its sense of community, and its quality of life. Once that character is lost, it cannot be recreated. Keeping The Avenue the way it is ensures that future generations can experience the same warmth, connection, and small-town magic that make living in San Anselmo so great today.

Thanks,

Hi there,
Live on the Avenue is an absolute boon and credit to the town, and nobody in their right mind should be seeking to scale it back.

Speaking as a resident of San Rafael Avenue, just around the corner from the main event, I have never been disturbed or impacted by any drunken behavior of the kind apparently described at the last town meeting. While Live on the Avenue undoubtedly attracts many young families (something the town should be proud of), it clearly caters to a wide variety of age groups. The idea that it only serves as an excuse for parents to get drunk is absurd.

Concern regarding proposed changes to Live on the Avenue From Christopher Sattler <[email protected]>

CAUTION: External Sender
Hello,
I am writing to express my concerns about reducing the LOTA event from two nights to one night and reducing the amount of live music. These events have been nothing less than a smashing success and an absolute blast for me and my family. The businesses are thriving and it's so wonderful to see my neighbors out there. I strongly support continuing LOTA as is! Thanks for your time,

Dear Recreation Council Members,
I’m writing to express my family’s enthusiastic support for Live on the Avenue. This event has become a highlight of our community life, and we want to make sure you hear from residents who love it exactly as it is.

We attend regularly and make an evening of it. We dine at local restaurants, browse shops, and enjoy the music and atmosphere. It’s not just entertainment for us; it’s an opportunity to support local businesses and connect with our neighbors.

Live on the Avenue is also one of the reasons we’re proud to call this city home. We regularly invite out-of-town friends and family to join us, and it never fails to impress. It showcases what makes our community special.

I understand there may be pressure to change or scale back the event, but I’d encourage you not to let a vocal minority override what so many residents genuinely treasure.

Thank you for your time and for all the work you do to make our community vibrant.

Sincerely,
Cory, Emily, Willow, and Henry

Item 6a: Live on the Ave (Support of Option B)
From Daniel Saver <[email protected]>
Date Tue 12/16/2025 10:31 AM
To Recreation <[email protected]>; Mattie O'Grady <[email protected]> Cc Elizabeth Irby <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
Dear Parks and Recreation Commission,
We are writing regarding agenda item 6a to express our strong support for Option B (to maintain Live on the Ave in its current format). Live on the Ave (LOTA) has become a beloved feature of our family's experience in San Anselmo. The alternative options would not only negatively impact our family; they would also weaken a successful institution that contributes to the sense of community, belonging, and vibrancy of the Town.

When we moved to San Anselmo 1.5 years ago, we immediately heard from friends and neighbors about LOTA. We attended LOTA during our first weekend as residents of San Anselmo, and we were blown away by how family-friendly and welcoming the event is. We felt comfortable meandering through the festivities and local businesses with our small children (then ages five and three) because of the street closure and lack of motorized vehicle traffic. We were overpowered by the sense of community that permeated the event. We struck up a conversation with a stranger who, upon learning that we did not yet have our laundry machine installed, immediately offered to let us wash our clothes at her home. We did so for several weeks (and quite often, as you can imagine, with two small children). This is the magic of Live on the Ave: a chance encounter with a stranger that engenders the kind of social bond that makes San Anselmo more than just a town—it makes us a community.

Our family attends LOTA several times a month. Sometimes we attend on Friday, and other times on Saturday, and sometimes both, depending on our schedule. We strongly support having both dates continue. We also strongly support the street closure on all dates, as it is critical for the safety of all attendees, especially the children. Every time we attend, we spend money at local businesses, as well as with the artists and vendors who have booths on the closed streets. We also greatly appreciate the music, often enjoying a family dance under the redwoods and in Imagination Park.

While some of the concerns raised in the staff report are understandable, we believe that the benefits of the current two-night format for LOTA far outweigh the downsides. To the extent that the concerns require some form of mitigation (though to be clear, in our minds they do not), we encourage the Town to explore mitigations that do not fundamentally alter the features of the event that have made it so successful.

Please retain Live on the Ave in its current form to support the ongoing community-building magic that the event has brought to our lives and the lives of so many other families and neighbors.

Respectfully,
Daniel Saver and Elizabeth Irby
Residents of San Anselmo

Live On The Avenue
From David Arzo <[email protected]>
Date Tue 12/16/2025 1:00 PM
To Recreation <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
Hello,
My family and I moved to San Anselmo in June of 2023 and one of our first experiences in this incredible town was Live On The Ave in Downtown. It was so refreshing to see an event that brought the whole community together. It's one of my kids' (5 and 3) favorite events and the fact that its two nights for everyone to gather is amazing. It's really one of the things that makes San Anselmo so special.

We're concerned about the proposed changes to LOTA, and our hope is that it stays the same! We want to voice our support for Option B - please keep LOTA on both Friday and Saturday nights during the summer!
Best,
David Arzo and the Arzo family

HiI heard there were some local residents who were not happy with keeping live on the avenue as the way it was. I am a Fairfax resident and my family and I have enjoyed supporting the town of San Anselmo and everything that live on the Avenue has to offer it. It really is a special event that our group of friends talks about consistently and about how lucky we are to have it. It would be a shame to see it change and I just wanted to send this note to support that it remains the way it is.

Support for Live on the Avenue summer weekend street closures From Holly Zickler <[email protected]>
Date Fri 12/12/2025 9:02 PM
To Recreation <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
Hello Town of San Anselmo Team,
I’m writing to share my support for keeping Live on the Avenue in full swing, including street closures on both weekend days throughout the summer.

My family and I have lived in San Anselmo since 2008, and these closures have truly helped create a stronger sense of community. We love being able to safely walk the avenue, run into neighbors, and spend time together in town. It also makes it easier for us to frequent and support local restaurants and shops — we absolutely spend more time (and money) locally because of the weekend setup.

Thank you for continuing to prioritize community connection and small business vitality. Please keep the summer weekend street closures in place.

Best,
Holly Zickler

LOTA Feedback

CAUTION: External Sender
My husband and I moved here in June from Phoenix. We love it here and were delighted to have our arrival coincide with the Live on the Avenue (LOTA) 2025 season. We were in town most of the weekends and always came to one or both nights ... we also ate a lot of Creekside pizza! We were on the Monday am zoom town hall meeting about this topic because we really hope to have such a full season next year too. Selfishly, that would be our preference and is our "vote." At the same time, we sympathize with business owners regarding the street closure and residents whose streets are crowded from the event, so we understand if you need to try the hybrid framework next summer.

Thanks for all that you do,

Support for LOTA 2026 programming
From Jessica Gibby <[email protected]>
Date Tue 12/16/2025 9:04 AM
To Recreation <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
Hi there!
My name is Jessica Gibby, and I have been a San Anselmo resident for nearly five years. I am writing to voice my strong support for maintaining the full "Live on the Avenue" program schedule for 2026.

As a parent of two young children (ages 4 and 6), this program is the cornerstone of our summer. It is the single most important event that has made San Anselmo feel like home for us. Beyond the social benefits, I believe the program is vital for the town for three reasons:

Economic Support: Every time we attend, we are patronizing downtown businesses— grabbing dinner, visiting shops, and keeping our weekend spending right here in San Anselmo.

Community Retention: It provides a consistent, safe space for neighbors to connect, which is the "glue" that keeps families like mine invested in this town.

Regional Reputation: My friends from across Marin view San Anselmo as a premier destination because of this programming. It makes our town a vibrant, sought-after place to live.

I am concerned that reducing the frequency or scale of the program in 2026 would erode the community momentum we’ve built. I urge the town to protect this program as it currently exists.

Thank you for your hard work in keeping San Anselmo such a special place to live.

Save Live on the Avenue! — A whole LOTA love <3
From Jessica Judge <[email protected]>
Date Mon 12/15/2025 1:22 PM
To Recreation <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
Dear San Anselmo Recreation and Town Staff,
I am writing to strongly urge the Town of San Anselmo to retain the current Live on the Avenue format —full street closures and programming on both Fridays and Saturdays (Option B).

Our family, with three young children, has attended LOTA since its creation during COVID, and we have gone almost every single Friday since. It has become a cherished weekly ritual and the perfect way to end the week and kick off the weekend. We meet friends, our kids play safely in the street, and we enjoy music, dancing, food, and drinks together. We regularly remark on how lucky we feel to have such a special event in our hometown, and friends visiting from other communities consistently rave about it as well.

Friday nights are especially important for families and early evening participation. Removing the street closure on Fridays would create confusion, introduce unnecessary safety concerns, and fundamentally undermine what makes the event successful. I am concerned that a small but vocal group may be driving a proposal that does not reflect the experience or values of the many residents, families, and businesses who actively participate in and benefit from LOTA.

Rather than reducing the event, I believe it should be refined and strengthened. Thoughtful improvements could include:

Reducing corporate or sales-driven tents that make the event feel overly commercial Increasing food and drink vendors to encourage longer stays and better support local businesses
Creating more kids zones and expanding children’s programming for a wider range of ages, such as performers, arts and crafts stations, magic or puppet shows, friendship bracelet making, games, basketball shooting contests, or a designated scoot/skate zone (the street adjacent to the fountain could work well and help keep activities contained and kids safe) Adding more interactive and rotating entertainment to strengthen the overall “event” experience Adding casual seating areas to improve circulation, reduce congestion, and activate underused central areas
304
Improving overall curation so Live on the Avenue feels like a true town celebration—not a farmers market
Live on the Avenue has truly made San Anselmo a special place to call home. To see it reduced would be a real loss for families, local businesses, and the shared community spirit that makes this town unique. I respectfully but firmly urge the Commission to support Option B and preserve this event in its full, two-night format.

Sincerely,
Jessica

Live On the Avenue
From Jessica White <[email protected]>
Date Sat 12/13/2025 7:48 AM
To Recreation <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
Hi there! I’m writing to voice my support for Live on the Avenue programming and street closures, on Friday and Saturday nights.

We’ve been attending live music events in town since they were confined to a few summer concerts in front of the library. Experimenting with the street closures was the best discovery coming out of COVID.

We live close by and are otherwise quite comfortable staying in or hosting friends at our house on the weekends. But when the street closures started and more live music programming began, it drew us to come downtown instead. Where we’d otherwise stay home, we now regularly make our way to town for dinner, drinks, gelato, pick up a few books at Sugarfoot, etc. The street closures are key - it breathes a European vibrancy into this sweet community. It’s the reason friends in other Marin towns motivate to join us on Friday and Saturday nights. And the musical talent around here is just inspiring! That’s why we’ve also continued to support the effort via donations at the “Local Legend” level.

As an aside, I’m one of the organizers of the San Anselmo Tutu Turkey Trot. The unexpected level of participation (over 700!), further demonstrates this community loves opportunities to come together. I’m hard pressed to understand why more, and not less, of these types of events should occur.

Thanks very much!

Dear Town of San Anselmo,
Just wanted to share my experience and opinion regarding LOTA.

I vote option B, program stays the same. This program has been a huge part of what people love about this town. It’s a commercial to move here. As a realtor, it is often a selling point for my clients.

We love being able to socialize and support our local businesses at the same time. Live music makes it a rich experience for all.

Community events like these foster a strong sense of liveliness and community connection, and it's why we moved here.

Please Keep Live on the Ave on Both Fridays & Saturdays (Option B) From Justin Rosenstein <[email protected]>
Date Tue 12/16/2025 3:43 PM
To Recreation <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
Dear Parks & Recreation Commission,
I'm writing as a San Anselmo resident to express my support for Option B—continuing Live on the Ave in its current format with full events and street closures on both Friday and Saturday evenings.

Live on the Ave is one of the things that makes our downtown feel vibrant and connected. My family attends regularly, and it's become a highlight of our week during the season. It's exactly the kind of community event that keeps San Anselmo special.

We also spend money at local businesses every time we attend. Reducing the event to one night would mean less foot traffic and fewer dollars going to our downtown merchants.

I urge the Commission to choose Option B and preserve Live on the Ave as the community gathering it's become.

Thank you for your consideration.

I am a San Anselmo resident writing to ask you to keep Live on the Ave to two nights per weekend. I go every weekend and bring my children and parents. It’s a raw all ages event we all enjoy. I always buy food and try to shop in the stores to support our local businesses and often bring friends.

If there is a need to reduce the number of nights please consider cancelling the September sessions.

Moving to a one night per weekend schedule will be confusing and lead to excess crowds.

Thank you.

Live on the Avenue has brought immeasurable spirit and joy to our town and beyond. I can not imagine how storefronts can argue that it hurts their businesses. If anything, it gives them an opportunity to stay open later and get more business.

Needless to say, I see no reason to switch from 2 full nights to just 1. ________________________

CAUTION: External Sender
As a local resident, father of three, and friend/family donor, I love the 2025 program in total. I would keep the recipe. It works for most visitors. Everyone I know loves the event and considers it a vital part of our community. It is one of the reasons people love living here and why folks want to own property here. This area is so unique and desirable for many reason, but one of them is certainly Live on the Ave.

Don’t make any changes.

I urge you all to keep LOA as it is…. It has been such an amazing way to get to know others in the community and allowing our kids to build new friendships. Personally, I love being able to run in to and interact with my students at Archie and their parents outside of the school setting.

Thanks and happy to talk more.

I have only attended the Saturday events; Friday nights are too hard to attend with our work schedule.

I would think the businesses should have the say in this. Does this event hurt, help, or have no affect on them? Are there any estimates of how many folks attend each event? The cost to the city has to be fairly significant - I would much rather see one day than lose it all together.

Live on the Avenue comment
From Ludwig's Fine Wine <[email protected]>
Date Sun 12/14/2025 4:27 PM
To Recreation <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
We are writing to voice our opinion on The Live on The Avenue options for 2026 as both San Anselmo business owners and as downtown residents. Our business, Ludwig’s, is in our family’s 48th year of operation. We have seen many changes over the years and the Live on the Avenue series has been important and impactful to the community and our business in many, mostly positive ways, but has posed some significant challenges as well.

We love this community, appreciate our customers, respect our fellow business owners and town staff and do not take for granted this special place on earth that we are all lucky enough to share. We pay our employees a living wage, generate sales tax revenue and hopefully bring something special to the table. We are good neighbors and hope that our compromises are seen and our opinions and observations are respected.

When the streets are closed to traffic on the busiest hours of the week for 3 months, there is a significant impact to our sales. We know this because we know our business. Yes, we generate and appreciate many small sales from LOA attendees and do our best to optimize exposure and opportunities, but the truth is that we lose larger sales because of the parking and traffic flow issues created by the street closures, especially on Friday afternoons. No, our license does not allow us to open a booth and sell wine or cocktails by the glass.

Inversely, most local restaurants are busier during this time and have the opportunity to thrive, and we are very happy about that. We believe that the business community is an ecosystem and that in order to remain healthy, all stakeholders need to work together to remain sustainable as a whole. We love seeing our local restaurants bustling and the local restaurant owners have always been supportive of us. They have stood by us when we and other retailers stress the importance of maintaining a slightly later street opening time.

While we understand that it has been difficult for some people to truly grasp the impact that early street closures have on businesses when they see crowds of happy people filling the streets and enjoying a community event, we hope that you will have the courtesy to believe that the small business owners who express their concerns are doing so out of a deep understanding of what their own business requires to be sustainable in this extremely challenging economic environment. Any business owner would be happy to discuss these nuances with you if you seek a better understanding.

Just go shopping and ask!
San Anselmo is a special town because it has a there, there. That “there” is in large part it’s unique small businesses, as well as the many beautiful parks, events like LOA and the community and staff that support both. If one of these elements is stressed by the other, a balance must be struck or we risk losing them all. Your business community is sounding the alarm about these impacts and it is incumbent upon you to hear and listen to them, and to communicate 325
those concerns to the public at large when you are messaging and advocating for this event. This can be achieved through more specific survey questions, details in email blasts and conversations with attendees and CMPA. It is notable and concerning that the option of reverting to an earlier street closure was omitted from all written communications regarding the public and business impact discussions until this agenda was published, and that is disappointing. The business community has made our concerns know year after year and we feel that the compromises that have been reached in the past should be respected.

We support any option for 2025 as long as the street closure times remain at a 5:00 soft closure and do not revert to 4:30.

Preferred Option A: A Hybrid option seems like a great way to evolve the series by taking some pressure off nearby neighbors and businesses by addressing the Friday rush hour traffic crunch. The return of the plaza will likely organically become the main gathering spot. Again, this would be our preferred option if the street closure remains as is with a 5pm soft closure.

Option B: The current format would be fine with us as long as the street closure times remain the same at a 5pm soft closure and more attention to traffic calming and parking enforcement in the nearby neighborhoods. There is real frustration building to the disruption by local residents that could and should be addressed.

Please consider that the parking issues that occurred last year could have been influenced by the “sign fatigue” and confusion brought on by the paid parking issues as well as the management by less experienced police cadets. Perhaps with a year under their belt, they can be more efficient and the town can again honor the compromise that we came to last year. That the same issue was presented last year as a staffing/overtime problem and is now couched as a “safety” issue warrants further discussion, as does the idea that closing the street at Little Tunstead would make any sense at all. (To be clear, a closure at Little Tunstead poses an existential threat to our business,would pose absurd safety and traffic flow issues and we are opposed to any serious consideration of this scenario).

Option C
If Live on the Avenue continues as a one night a week event, it would be our preference that it is Saturday, as the Friday afternoon rush hour is the biggest squeeze to business revenues and the most disruptive to traffic flows in the neighborhoods. Again, we oppose any earlier street closure times in this and any option.

Thank you for creating and producing this wonderful community event. We appreciate your efforts and hope that we can all work together to grow LOA into a sustainable, enjoyable event for everyone long into the future.

Sincerely,
Magid Nazari

Option B!
From Michael Christoff <[email protected]>
Date Tue 12/16/2025 10:45 AM
To Recreation <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
I am writing to express my support for Option B.

I personally volunteer my time to perform at LOTA multiple times a year, and our family attends at least 10x a season. Our attendance is primarily on Fridays so option A would reduce our attendance and ability to volunteer our time greatly. It would of course reduce the amount we spend at downtown business significantly as well.

As a small business person, I can empathize with the merchants. It is hard running a SMB! It does feel like a shocking lack of creativity that the concerned merchants cannot capitalize on thousands of people being dropped on their doorstep though. Businesses pay good money for that advertising so it's hard for me to fathom that any business would not see this as a gift. Of course, not all businesses can capitalize on the opportunity to sell things at the event, but certainly could capitalize on the exposure and free advertising with a little bit of effort.

The type of businesses we want to attract to San Anselmo engage with the community and are excited about opportunities this town creates for them. Additionally, we want to attract businesses that will invest in San Anselmo. There are other towns to rent space like San Rafael, Novato, and San Rafael that may be a better culture fit and more economically viable for businesses who prioritize parking above everything else. I would encourage businesses that do not like what the vast majority of people want in San Anselmo to explore these options.

Support for Option B for Live on the Avenue in 2026

Cc Kate Clayton <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
Dear Parks & Recreation Commission and Town Council,
We are writing to share our strong support for Option B, continuing Live on the Avenue as a full event on both Fridays and Saturdays in 2026.

Since moving to San Anselmo, Live on the Avenue has played a real role in helping our family feel connected to the town. My wife Kate and I, along with our daughters Charlotte and Alexandra, have met neighbors, run into friends, and built meaningful community connections through these evenings.

It’s one of the few events that consistently brings together families, longtime residents, and local businesses in a way that feels authentic and uniquely San Anselmo.

The community data backs this up. The 2025 survey shows very strong overall satisfaction and clear support for keeping the current two-night format. A large majority of attendees want the event to continue as-is and plan to return next year. The survey also shows that people are more likely to visit local restaurants, purchase food and drinks, and support businesses that participate or sponsor the event. That aligns with our experience as residents who regularly dine and shop downtown during Live on the Avenue nights.

Live on the Avenue is not just entertainment. It is one of the most effective tools the town has for strengthening community ties and supporting a vibrant downtown. We encourage the Town to preserve what is clearly working and keep the current framework for 2026.

Thank you for considering our perspective.

Sincerely,
Pat & Kate Clayton (120 Crescent Road, San Anselmo)

Feedback for Live on the Ave Series
From Rick Timmins <[email protected]>
Date Sat 12/13/2025 1:34 PM
To Recreation <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
To Recreation Department (and Town Council):

I support continuing Live on the Avenue both Friday and Saturday nights in 2026.

In reviewing the Live on the Ave survey, community feedback is clear with strong attendance both nights and high satisfaction under the current format. This event is a core part of San Anselmo’s identity and reducing the event to one night would be a big blow to the community in an attempt to support the 10-15 businesses that faced decreased revenues on event night without addressing the underlying issue those businesses are facing.

The business survey points to execution issues and not a clear case for scaling back. About one-third of responding businesses reported decreased revenue, and preferences on one vs. two nights are mixed. That suggests the impact varies by business type and how directly they are integrated into the event.

Rather than reducing the event, I recommend considering targeted fixes such as:

A Live on the Ave “downtown pass” or attendee discount to convert foot traffic into in-store spending (either on or off event night).

A nominal ticket charge for the event for non-residents to support local businesses (as non-residents are the least likely to patronize these impacted businesses)
Event-night visibility for businesses (map, signage, digital / handout promotions) Allowing more integrated outside merchandise racks, sidewalk sales, or pop-outs for retailers that want them A more focused listening session with the businesses reporting revenue declines to identify the biggest friction points and try various solutions
The community clearly wants both nights. Let’s preserve that while being more intentional and creative in how we support downtown businesses.

Best,
Rick Timmins

I am a resident of San Anselmo. I was born here and have been living here the last 11 years, working and raising my family. I have always loved our town and feel so lucky to live here and be apart of this community. I feel very strongly that the live on the avenue adds so much to this town. My family and I go to them all summer long. We invite out of town guest to come join us, we see friends from school and work. We eat out and have gelato. It makes our town unique and adds volumes to our community. I hope that the town continues to have these nights Friday and Saturday.

To whom it may concern:

I've learned that there are changes being proposed to the live on the avenue program, and I'm writing to support keeping the program as it has been running for the past few years. I've lived in San Anselmo for 23 years, and I just wish this was in place when my children were younger.

My wife and I go at least twice a month, often more. It's a great way to connect with friends we haven't seen in a while, and the entertainment lineup has been great. It also seems to be driving traffic to the local merchants, at least the ones who stay open. Our strong preference is to not make any changes to the program.

Thanks for your consideration.

I'm writing as a San Anselmo resident to share our experience with LOTA. We moved here in summer 2023 and it was at our first few LOTA's that we started getting to know the community and making the wonderful friends we have now. We typically order dinner at one of the restaurants on that street and enjoy our picnic dinner with our two young kids. Seeing them run into their new school mates and feeling a sense of comfort was invaluable to them settling into a new city. We would love for the LOTA program to stay the same and are in support of Option B.

It is a wonderful event for them to enjoy music, food, the bookstore and see their friends. We easily spend $100 at local eateries and shops with each evening. We are a world in need of more opportunities to gather and spend time together in person. Please continue give the residents of Marin the opportunity to enjoy Live on the Avenue as much as possible.

LOTA
From Todd Lieman <[email protected]>
Date Tue 12/16/2025 4:52 PM
To Recreation <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
To Whom It May Concern:

As a new resident to San Anselmo, I will say that LOTA was one of the reasons my wife and I moved here. And, as we’ve lived in Greenbrae, San Rafael, and Mill Valley prior to our move— it’s one of the reasons we know we’re not going anywhere.

The community feel and throwback vibes of the LOTA experience allow us to pause and remember the things that really matter. It’s safe. It’s fun. It’s an amazing experience. Something that makes San Anselmo unique.

Please don’t change it… it’ll be something you regret immediately.

Be⚡️Love,

Concerns About Proposed Changes to Live on the Avenue
From Tom Alterman <[email protected]>
Date Mon 12/15/2025 7:12 PM
To Recreation <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
Dear San Anselmo Recreation Department,
I'm writing to share my concerns about the proposed changes to Live on the Avenue.

My family attends nearly every weekend. We have a 3-year-old and a 5-year-old, and LOTA is their favorite event of the summer. There are few places in Marin where young kids can run around outdoors in a safe, welcoming environment while families connect with their community. LOTA is one of them.

We make a point to support the local businesses that make this event possible. Every visit means spending money at downtown shops, grabbing food, and specifically patronizing the sponsors who put on kids activities. Multiply that by every weekend, and it adds up.

My concerns with limiting the event:

The street closure isn't just about convenience. It's about safety. Young children don't understand that a street is sometimes open to cars and sometimes not. Removing the closure creates confusion and real danger for families with little ones.

Reducing days means fewer opportunities for families to attend. Between naps, birthday parties, and the realities of life with small kids, having both days gives us flexibility. One day often doesn't work.

Two days means we can almost always make it.

I urge you to keep LOTA as it is with both Saturday and Sunday street closures (Option B). This event is special. Please don't let a small vocal group diminish something that brings so much joy to so many families.

Thank you for your time.

Live on the Avenue (LOTA)
From Tyler Coke <[email protected]>
Date Sat 12/13/2025 10:30 AM
To Recreation <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
To whom it may concern:

I am writing in support of LOTA and option B to maintain the even on both Friday and Saturday. This event brings people and families together, and builds community. It supports local businesses and is a great asset to the area. My wife and two kids look forward to this even each year and would be proponents of it expanding through Sunday if that were possible as opposed to restricting the event. We plan to come on Friday every year and not closing the street on Friday would be a serious safety concern.

It is unfortunate that folks resistant to change are spending their time pushing to reduce such an amazing asset for the community. It is a prime example of a NIMBY approach to living within a community with others. If you do not like the event simply go elsewhere for a couple days.

Live on the Avenue
From Vivienne Walsh <[email protected]>
Date Mon 12/15/2025 3:42 PM
To Recreation <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
Dear Members of the Town Council,
I’m writing as a local resident to express my strong support for Community Live on the Avenue and to urge the council to continue this program in future summers over Friday and Saturday.

I understand that there have been some complaints suggesting the event is primarily young families letting children “run wild,” or adults drinking excessively. I want to offer a different perspective—one I believe is shared by many families and community members who quietly benefit from this space.

For many of us, this is one of the only times our children experience genuine freedom—the ability to move safely, play, explore, and connect without screens, cars, or constant supervision. Our kids are growing up in a world with fewer and fewer places that allow that. Live on the Avenue gives them something increasingly rare: a sense of belonging, independence, and joy in a shared public space.

For adults, it’s a chance to socialize, meet neighbors, make new friends, and feel connected to our town in a way that’s difficult to replicate elsewhere. The atmosphere is welcoming, multigenerational, and inclusive—not chaotic. It strengthens community ties and brings downtown to life in a positive, human way.

I truly believe the benefits far outweigh the challenges. If there are concerns around noise, alcohol, or crowd behavior, I would encourage thoughtful adjustments rather than eliminating an event that so clearly brings people together and reflects the best of San Anselmo.

Please don’t let a small number of complaints overshadow the deep value this experience provides to families and the broader community. Live on the Avenue makes our town feel alive, connected, and truly communal.

Thank you for your time and for considering this perspective.

Sincerely,
Vivienne Walsh
San Anselmo Residen
