On Tuesday, February 24, the Marin County Board of Supervisors authorized the Los Ranchitos Connector project to seek contractor bids. The project will construct new Class II bike lanes on Ranchitos Road from North San Pedro Road (Route 26) to the Puerto Suello summit, connecting with the Puerto Suello Hill Pathway (Project 2302). The narrow, winding grade will be widened to accommodate four foot wide bike lanes in each direction.

This segment is a key link in the North-South Bikeway, connecting northern Marin with points south. In addition to being a regional connection, this segment serves Terra Linda with connections to Santa Venetia, the Marin Civic Center, and, via North San Pedro Road, China Camp State Park.

The Board's decision is an important step in moving the Ranchitos Connector closer to completion. For more information about the project, see the PDF fact sheet .
