Marin poised to become National Model
|
Marin County is poised to become a national model for walking and bicycling, and you can now see what it might look like! The Marin County Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan proposes a system of North-South and East-West separated paths that follow the railroad right of ways. The plan also details safe routes to schools, good bicycle parking, educational programs, and swift connections on the streets within each of Marin's 11 towns. The North-South Greenway will run alongside Highway 101, along the rail corridor, going through tunnels and over bridges. The route will make Marin County virtually flat and it will pass by seven transit hubs, two ferry terminals, numerous large employers and shopping centers, and within two miles of 51 schools. Our Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan calls for 20% of all trips to be made on foot or by bicycle by the year 2020. View the Marin County Bicycle Coalition's digitally created images of the North-South Greenway to see how we're going to lure people out of their cars and into a healthier, less congested way of life!
