Kids walk to the bus and to school near here on shoulders with no real sidewalk. Continuous sidewalks, lighting, and safe crossings on the routes kids actually use should be in the first phase, not deferred. This is a safe-routes-to-school issue as much as a beach-traffic one.
Families with little kids have nowhere to stop at the junction. A small fenced playground and a corner for dogs off-leash would turn it from a place you drive through into a place you bring the kids and the dog on a Saturday morning. It doesn't need to be big to matter.
North county gets skipped and should not. Olompali State Historic Park in Novato has Miwok history, a Grateful Dead chapter, and quiet oak-grassland trails. Pair with a round at StoneTree or the Indian Valley loop trails. It is the part of Marin that still feels like ranch country.
