Larkspur's Lights May Get Synchronized

The Metropolitan Transportation Commission has approved nearly $40,000 in grant money for a project that would coordinate traffic signals along Sir Francis Drake Boulevard.

The County of Marin, City of Larkspur and Caltrans will receive a total of $39,800 for the Program for Arterial System Synchronization, which would coordinate signals between Larkspur Landing Circle and Elm Avenue.

The goal of PASS is to help reduce travel time and traffic delays; reduce air pollution and reduce traffic accidents.

Supervisor Susan Adams, President of the Marin County Board of Supervisors, commented, “This type of transportation initiative makes the most of our existing infrastructure, and is an important element in developing sustainable communities.”
