As the busy summer tourist season kicks off, Marin County and the National Park Service have eliminated 80 parking spaces and increased enforcement along Muir Woods Road as part of a plan to manage waves of visitors to Muir Woods National Monument. The parking efforts precede the implementation of a parking reservation system by fall of 2017 for Muir Woods, which hosts from 5,000 to 6,500 visitors during peak summer days and 1 million visitors annually. At a Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday, officials with both agencies presented an update on recent steps taken to stave off the more-than 400 cars that cram narrow roadsides on peak summer days. The park service has installed wooden bollards along roads, with the aim of reducing street parking down to 30 legal spaces once the reservation system is introduced. Along with bollards, enforcement officers have issued more citations, from eight a month historically to an average of 70 a month since October. The county has also increased the fine to the maximum $99. “We’re seeing that the level of compliance is increasing,” said Aaron Roth, the deputy superintendent of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. “That being said, we still have a tremendous amount of people seeking parking in this area.” The parking reduction has created what Supervisor Kathrin Sears called “a bumpy transition period,” as fewer road spaces have spurred longer lines of cars waiting for the monument’s lot to free up. More visitors are also parking in the beach parking lot, leaving beachgoers without parking. “This is starting to push people to park up in the surrounding streets of Muir Beach and then wander through people’s yards and whatnot,” said Christian Riehl, the coordinator of the Muir Beach Association. “So that’s a problem.”
