At long last, the bike improvements associated with the Marin-Sonoma Narrows Project are complete. This Friday, Caltrans will officially open a new pathway underneath the US-101 / San Antonio Creek Bridge connecting frontage roads between Novato and Petaluma and establishing what will now be the most direct, flat, and safe route available between the two cities!
MCBC is delighted to share the news: Marin’s next pathway–bridging the southern half of the gap between Downtown San Rafael and Cal Park Hill–is set to open the week of July 15!
A bike route is only as strong as its weakest link–and in the case of Corte Madera Creek Pathway, we have an opportunity to address the S. Eliseo on-street gap!
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.
MCBC’s Off-Road Program expands off-road cycling opportunities through education, environmental stewardship, and trail development. We are committed to bridging the gaps in Marin’s trails network, while also maintaining and enhancing existing trails. Read on to find out where we’ll be focusing our efforts in 2019 and beyond…
Each year, MCBC’s Road Program works to make bicycling safe and accessible for people of all ages and abilities by improving the safety and connectivity of Marin’s bike routes. As voted on by MCBC supporters, here are the top highlights from MCBC’s Road Program in 2018:
Action Alert: Following a public workshop, MCOSD proposed adopting several trails as part of the Draft Road & Trail Designation for Region 5, which will help close gaps along the Terra Linda/Sleepy Hollow Divide. Want a bike-legal trail between Santa Venetia and San Pedro Mountain? We need your support to let land managers know how important this is to you.
Join MCBC this Saturday at the Region 5 Road and Trail Workshop in San Rafael. This will be your opportunity to help the Open Space District identify the best and most connected trails in Northern Marin.
We make a great team. Thanks to your comments and calls, MCBC and San Francisco Bicycle Coalition will have a seat at the table as NPS and partner agencies plan next steps for transportation in the Marin Headlands. Together, we’ll ensure that people can enjoy one of the Bay Area’s popular road rides for decades to come.
Plans move forward to build a new San Rafael Transit Center. Whether you are a transit rider or someone who travels through the area, join MCBC today in asking GGBHTD to prioritize walking and bicycling at the North Bay’s busiest transportation hub. Use this feedback form.
With no prior notice, National Park Service (NPS) began a 17-day pilot program which will substantially change bicycling in the Marin Headlands. Together with San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, we are calling on NPS to make more – not less – room for people on bikes. Join us by sharing your feedback today.
MCBC was pleased to see both of our endorsed ballot measures passed by Bay Area and California voters, creating new funding opportunities to help improve and expand our pathways, trails, parks, and connections to transit.
