The Marin Corridors Plan
Marin Corridors Plan
Starting with six lines connecting Marin’s cities and linking to regional transit.
Concept
The Corridors Plan is rooted in “Back to the Future.” Marin County was established along rail lines, making Marin unique in that 70% of urban Marin is still within ½ mile of an original rail right-of way.
Most of the original rail routes in Marin still exist.
Benefits
Money spent by individuals to own/maintain multiple automobiles and fill them with gas will be available to spend on other needs.
Property owners/developers are known to invest along rail lines. Such investment will stimulate local economies. Rail lines, unlike routes dependent on funding, are permanent. Foot traffic will increase around stops, stimulating retail and local businesses.
Proposed Routes
- Southern Marin line from the Mill Valley Depot to the Sausalito Ferry Landing.
- Mill Valley to Tiburon line.
- Mill Valley to Corte Madera, Larkspur, Kentfield & San Anselmo
- Corte Madera, Greenbrae to San Rafael
- San Anselmo to the Larkspur Ferry Landing
- Ross Valley line from Fairfax, through San Anselmo to San Rafael. A Novato line is also envisioned.
