MILL VALLEY, CA — Caltrans plans to close off the lower half of the Manzanita Park and Ride lot later this month, along with shoulder parking along State Route 1, due to projected high tides and likely flooding.

In an announcement Monday, officials said the closure would be in place from Friday, June 30, through Friday, July 7.

"High tides alone can flood the lot at certain times of the year," officials said. "Caltrans closes parts of this lot when rains and/or tides are likely to produce problems."

During that week, the lower lot will be closed around the clock to prevent overnight parking and ensure the safety of commuters who frequent the Park and Ride. Drivers who rely on the lot will see signs reminding them of the upcoming closures starting this week.
