MCBC Welcomes New Multi-Use Pathway Connecting Local Schools

image MCBC’s goal of steadily improving biking and walking facilities within Marin County is gaining momentum with a newly completed multi-use pathway in the city of Larkspur connecting neighborhoods to local schools and parks.

The new ADA-compliant pathway replaces what used to be a dirt path that was primarily being used by local schoolchildren. Measure A Safe Routes to School funded the new multi-use trail which also included 54 trees planted along the pathway, a soon-to-be installed bench with a great view of Mount Tamalpais, and a fence to delineate the pathway from the High School property.

The path is increasing the amount of children walking and biking to school and is attracting many other members of the community to walk or bike along the path. MCBC will continue to support the city of Larkspur for their continued commitment to improving the non-motorized transportation system within the City.

Santa Rosa Creek Trail Project Gets Unanimous Support

Santa Rosa Creek TrailIn a major victory for Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition, Sonoma County Supervisors unanimously voted to approve asphalt paving of a 2.1-mile section of the Santa Rosa Creek Trail, a plan set back in the early 90’s. The existing gravel path will parallel the new paved path accommodating walkers, wheelchairs and all types of bike tires. The path connects two schools and is part of the county’s long-term goal of a route to the coast.
