Give Tam Junction an actual green — open lawn, big shade trees, a few picnic tables — that a farmers' market or a school concert could spill onto. Right now there is nowhere in Southern Marin between the ballfields and the beach where you can just sit on grass. Make the junction that place.

Thank you — open, usable gathering space is a recurring theme across these ideas and it's exactly the kind of input the Tam Junction & Manzanita planning study is looking for. I'm noting the "green vs. plaza" distinction for the project team so they can test both.

    Yes to the green, and it's the best argument for keeping the buildings low around it — you want sun on the lawn in winter, not a wall of shadow.

    To be clear, I mean usable lawn you can put a blanket on, not a fenced "decorative" patch. Southern Marin has zero of these and we drive to Mill Valley for it.
