Bay Area Transit and Streets News Roundup April 1, 2026

Streetsblog’s commenting system is moving to a new platform. Here’s what Marin County readers can expect as this unfolds.

From San Rafael to Sausalito, and Mill Valley to Larkspur, folks really depend on Streetsblog for transit news and community voices. During this migration, you won’t be able to add new comments, but all the older discussions will stay put. That should keep things steady for Marin’s engaged readers in Novato, Tiburon, Fairfax, and everywhere in between.

Streetsblog migrates its commenting system across Marin County

Right now, commenting is paused, so you can’t post anything new. The team wants everyone to know that existing comment histories will stick around, which is good news for people in San Anselmo and Ross who follow transit and bike route debates along the 101 corridor.

Once everything’s switched over, you’ll be able to log in again and see your comments just like before. The main goal here is to boost performance and security for Marin’s online community. Maybe it’s not the most exciting upgrade, but it should make things run better.

What this means for Marin readers

If you live in San Rafael, Mill Valley, Sausalito, or any other Marin town, this is mostly a behind-the-scenes change. It’s not going to shake up how you interact with Streetsblog—just a temporary pause to make sure nothing gets lost.

You can still read articles and all the comments posted before the migration, but you’ll have to wait a bit before adding new thoughts. The Streetsblog team is asking for patience. They know readers in Corte Madera, San Anselmo, and Ross care about keeping the conversation going—especially when it comes to local proposals for bike lanes, bus rapid transit, and ferry service along the Marin coast.

Commenting is temporarily unavailable during this migration.
Comment histories will be preserved and you’ll see them after logging back in.
No set timeline for completion yet, but updates will come as soon as there’s news.
Once things are finished, you can log back in and pick up where you left off.
Readers in Marin County—from San Rafael to Fairfax—can look forward to lively discussions again once the system settles down.

What comes next for the Streetsblog community

Once the switch wraps up, Streetsblog says Marin County readers will jump right back in. Folks in San Rafael, Tiburon, Tamalpais Valley, and Belvedere can log in to the same threads, but with better security and a bit more speed.

They’ll get to keep hashing out ferry schedules, parking rules, and safer streets along the 101, the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, and even those smaller corridors in Ross and San Anselmo.

Over the next few weeks, Streetsblog plans to post updates about how the migration’s going. When the technical stuff checks out, they’ll announce exactly when everything’s back to normal.

The Marin community has a knack for thoughtful civic debate, whether you’re in Fairfax or San Geronimo. This upgrade hopes to keep that quality high, while making sure everyone in Mill Valley, Corte Madera, and beyond can still join in.
