North-South Greenway Gap Closure Project

Project Description

The North-South Greenway Gap Closure Project (Project) is sponsored by the Transportation Authority of Marin (TAM). The Project will close a key gap in the local and regional non-motorized transportation network between the Central Marin Ferry Connector Bridge (CMFC) and the existing multi-use paths at the intersection of Old Redwood Highway and Wornum Drive. The Project will be delivered in two segments—the Northern Segment along US 101, and the Southern Segment along the future SMART corridor. The goals of the Project are to: 

• Improve safety and accessibility for all types of non-motorized users.

• Improve connectivity by providing efficient linkage and wayfinding to the Bay Trail, CMFC, Larkspur SMART Station, Larkspur Ferry Terminal, bus transit, and surrounding businesses.

• Protect and provide areas for people to enjoy the Bay and surrounding natural resources.

• Attract and accommodate more pedestrian and bicycle users.

• Minimize impacts on existing parking and encourage alternatives to driving to the Larkspur Ferry Terminal and other local destinations.

Northern Segment

In 2015, TAM initiated work on the Project’s Northern Segment, which comprises the area between the CMFC and the Greenbrae Pedestrian Overcrossing (POC). In 2022, construction was completed to replace the existing 4-foot wide sidewalk along the US 101 northbound off-ramp with a wider multi-use pathway. A second phase of construction, which began in 2024, will complete the portion of the Project between the bridge over Corte Madera Creek and the POC, by adding a multi-use pathway along Old Redwood Highway.
