Last updated: 10/28/11

The County of Marin kicked off the San Quentin Area Bicycle and Pedestrian Access Study in Spring, 2010.  The project studied ways to improve bike and pedestrian access in the San Quentin area.  As a key gap identified in the San Francisco Bay Trail Gap Analysis Study, the area is also one of the top priority projects in the county as described in the 2008 Marin County Unincorporated Area Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan.
