Pedestrian Flag Program Sausalito Village and Age Friendly Sausalito partnered to create the Pedestrian Flag Program in 2016 targeting three of the most dangerous intersections along our main street. Volunteer monitors construct the bright orange flags that are in buckets at the following crosswalks: Second/Main Streets, Santa Rosa/Bridgeway Streets and Litho/Bridgeway Streets. The flags are a simple solution to act as an assistive device to help make walkers more noticeable as they cross the street. Of course, it is still important for pedestrians to cross with caution. Flag monitors volunteer to redistribute flags and replace any that are missing or damaged. If you would like to volunteer for this program, please contact Sausalito Village at 415-332-3325.

What’s Your End Game? End-of-Life Planning Simplified It’s not just about dying, it’s about living fully. And it’s not just about you— it’s about caring for your loved ones after you’re gone.

Paul Mowry, Sausalito Presbyterian Church, 120 Bulkley Ave. This is a nuts-and-bolts seminar, not a religious meeting. (Though we’re always happy to handle those questions, too!)

Sausalito Sister Cities Programs Sausalito is honored to have vibrant “sister city” relationships with three wonderful cities on three separate continents: Sakaide, Japan, Viña del Mar, Chile, and Cascais, Portugal. The purpose and mission of each program is to promote a cross-cultural and economic exchange between the two cities. One 501(c) (3) organization oversees the “councils” from each program, but each relationship has developed a unique identity. All three have forged strong bonds between the residents of their respective “sisters”.
