"In December 2000, the City Council of Mill Valley and Town Council of Corte Madera both passed official resolutions supporting the effort to reopen Alto Tunnel and rehabilitate it for bicycle and pedestrian use (see those resolutions here and here). While those resolutions are not expired, they are now a quarter-century old. MCBC is asking the councils to renew these resolutions and reaffirm their commitment to an open Alto Tunnel."
"MCBC's campaign to open Marin's abandoned rail tunnels to bicycle and pedestrian travel is as old as our organization. Our original goal of opening the two tunnels in Central Marin celebrated a huge success in 2010, with the opening of the Cal Park Hill Tunnel (our founding Executive Director Deb Hubsmith spoke at the ribbon cutting). However, despite several important studies completed on the Alto Tunnel in the 2010s, that project has stalled out."
Marin County Bicycle Coalition requests Mill Valley and Corte Madera councils renew their December 2000 resolutions supporting reopening Alto Tunnel for bicycle and pedestrian use. Public meetings are scheduled at Mill Valley City Council on February 17 and Corte Madera Town Council on March 3 to seek renewed support. MCBC's campaign to open abandoned rail tunnels in Marin is as old as the organization and achieved a major success in 2010 with the Cal Park Hill Tunnel ribbon cutting attended by Deb Hubsmith. Despite several studies in the 2010s, the Alto Tunnel project has stalled, though it would connect to extensive regional multiuse pathways and require County-led implementation with local backing.
