Reimagining a Resilient SR 37

State Route 37 has long been a sort of no-go zone for bicyclists. While it serves as the most direct route between Novato in Marin County and Vallejo in Solano County (via Sears Point), it’s attempted by only the most risk-tolerant riders or those with no alternative means of transportation.

Full Reservoirs Bring RSR Bridge Reprieve

Recently we learned of a plan to construct a water pipeline across the RSR bridge in an effort to mitigate the effects of Marin’s drought. This would have resulted in a three-month closure of the bike path, replaced with shuttle service. With reservoirs now at 93% capacity, the pipeline plan has slowed down.

Mill Valley- Sausalito Path

On Monday, October 18th through Tuesday, October 19th, Marin County Parks will close a portion of the Mill Valley-Sausalito Pathway for resurfacing. As anyone who has ridden the pathway knows, the pavement is badly in need of repair, and we applaud the effort to smooth out the ride for cyclists.

Pathways Are For Everyone

One of the things that makes Marin County so special is the incredible number of off-street paths for cycling and walking. From the Mill Valley-Sausalito Pathway, to the Tiburon Linear Park, to the Corte Madera Creek Path, few places have such a great number of opportunities for safe walking and biking just outside folks’ backyards.
