Marin County North-South Greenway, Phase 3

Organization Marin County Bicycle Coalition
State CA
Year 2001
Type Bike Path

The Marin County Bicycle Coalition (MCBC) used a Bikes Belong grant to help develop the North–South Greenway, a commuting and recreation route just north of San Francisco. The route combines bike lanes and paths to connect transit centers, downtown districts, workplaces, schools, and residential areas. An active alternative to driving on Route 101, the project is an integral part of Marin’s Safer Routes to School infrastructure and an amenity for walkers, runners, and rollerbladers as well as bicyclists. Marin County has completed several key portions of the greenway, and MCBC continues to help secure federal, state, and local funding for this impressive project. When finished, the North-South Greenway will serve as a model transportation solution for the entire country.
