San Rafael Transit Center preliminary design unveiled
Officials from the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District gave a sneak preview of the conceptual design of the new San Rafael Transit Center, Marin County’s local and regional transportation hub. .
“One of the most important things is we’re going to retain the features, the look and feel, of the 1929 railroad depot,” said Ron Downing, planning director for the bridge district."
The estimated $50 million to $70 million project would allow for more bus bays as well as let passengers transfer between buses and the SMART train station without having to cross busy downtown streets.
Under the plan, the transit center would be located on three parcels bordered to the north and south by Fourth Street and Third Street and to the west and east by Tamalpais Avenue and Hetherton Street.
