A new pathway in Marin County that would provide cyclists, walkers and runners easier access to one of the North Bay’s transportation and trail hubs is set to begin construction next year after five years of planning.
The planned 12-foot-wide pathway would replace the existing cramped 4-foot-wide sidewalk that runs along Highway 101 and crosses over Corte Madera Creek to Sir Francis Drake Boulevard in Larkspur.
Project planners and advocates say the new wider path will be a key addition to both the San Francisco Bay Trail and the long-envisioned North-South Greenway path designed to run from the Golden Gate Bridge into Sonoma County and potentially beyond.
