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.

Welcoming our newest team member – Warren Wells…
Marin County Bicycle Coalition is proud to be a part of the grassroots safe driving campaign: Eyes Up Ross Valley!
In this two-part series, we’ll look first at the high level collision trends and then at the specific locations and types of locations where collisions are more likely to occur–and what it will take to make them safer.
Marin voters continue to overwhelmingly support and ask for better, and more, transportation options. In last week’s November 6 election, over 75 percent of Marin voters supported Measure AA, Marin’s transportation sales tax extension, and opposed Proposition 6, the gas tax repeal.
Entire city blocks will be reconfigured as part of the upcoming Transit Center relocation project, but proposed plans are sorely lacking in needed bike improvements, including a long-planned North-South Greenway connection. Join MCBC today in telling project planners they must prioritize safety for people on foot and bike.
After three years of tirelessly advocating for a pathway parallel to SMART’s Larkspur rail extension, we are delighted to confirm that on Wednesday, SMART Board of Directors authorized this connection to be built from Rice Drive to Andersen Drive in San Rafael.
San Rafael’s Downtown – particularly the area closest to the freeway – remains the most dangerous place to walk and bike in Marin County. MCBC continues to support the City of San Rafael as they move forward on several plans and projects with the potential to greatly improve the ease and safety with which people walk and bike.
“This plan lies at the heart of our work at MCBC – spanning from the vision of a completed network of safe, flat, and direct greenways that appeal to people of all ages and abilities, to short-term fixes on Marin’s popular recreational routes that minimize conflicts between people biking and driving…”
MCBC was saddened to hear of a collision on Tuesday, January 16, in which Cassandra Lemon-Mullins, 56, of Novato, was struck and killed while walking across Novato Boulevard.
This is your last chance to speak up for two bills that could make your two-wheeled experience better for years to come, no matter which of Marin’s trails, roads or pathways you ride – please take a minute today to send a note to state legislators!
