Central Marin Ferry Connection Project Open House

The  Transportation Authority of Marin (TAM) is hosting an open house on Tuesday, November 29th to present and gain feedback on the draft conceptual bridge designs and design selection criteria for the Central Marin Ferry Connection Project (CMFCP). The Tuesday, November 29th meeting is one of a series of public meetings intended to present the project's conceptual design and to build consensus on the selected structure type and aesthetics.  

The CMFC Project will create a new multi-use pathway, providing a very important connector within Marin's North-South Greenway. The project is intended to further promote non-motorized commute alternatives and enhance recreational travel while providing safe, direct and convenient pedestrian/bicycle access between local transit facilities, schools, business centers and residential communities.

The Project will extend the Cal Park Hill Multi-Use Pathway to the south by constructing a new elevated crossing over Sir Francis Drake Boulevard (see artist rendering above) with an access ramp leading down to an existing multi-use pathway connecting to the Larkspur Ferry Terminal as well as other destinations (View Project Location  Map). The CMFC pathway will also be a convenient access location for non-motorized travelers destined for the future Larkspur SMART Station.  Minor improvements to the existing multi-use pathway along SFDB from the Highway off-ramp to the Ferry Terminal will also be considered. 

In compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), a Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared and approved by the TAM Board on September 23, 2010.   Additional studies are underway to prepare a federal (NEPA) environmental document, which is anticipated to be approved by the end of the year.
