Upcoming Community Open House

Upcoming Community Open House

As part of the RTMP Update, Marin Water invites the community to attend its community open house.

Marin equestrians: Marin Water is renewing its efforts to increase bicycle access on the watershed. We are fairly confident this will include bikes on trails.

Marin IJ article

Please make this a priority to attend one of these open houses and have your opinions heard. Horse riders need to be “heard” as these community open houses will be packed with bicyclists. 

The Road and Trails Management Plan (RTMP) Update will build on the District’s past planning efforts to guide how Marin Water manages, maintains and restores watershed roads and trails into the future. The update will:

  • Integrate findings from the WRMP Feasibility Study and Biodiversity, Fire and Fuels Integrated Plan.

  • Reevaluate trail classifications and standards.

  • Update social trail management criteria

  • Identify bike access routes and restoration priorities

  • Complete a comprehensive environmental analysis.

The open house will offer an opportunity to learn more about the planning process, ask questions, and share your perspective on the future of watershed roads and trails. The open house will feature three interactive stations, each focused on a key topic related to roads, trails and watershed stewardship. Participants will have the chance to engage with staff, explore potential approaches and contribute ideas that will help shape the updated plan. Key topics will include: 

  • Social trail restoration priorities

  • Bicycle access routes and trail standards

  • Stewardship and community engagement programs

Feedback from this event will be summarized for review with the Watershed Committee in December 2025 as the planning work moves forward.
