Why are improvements to roads, trails and other infrastructure so important for the Marin Headlands?
Project Headlands is needed because the current road network in the Marin Headlands and Fort Baker was not constructed to accommodate present traffic volumes and the diverse types of traffic that now use the roads. The asphalt paving is 30 years old or more, and trail conditions to park destinations need to be improved. Overlook parking is in unsafe locations with poor visibility for users entering and leaving the parking stalls. In addition, parking does not meet current accessibility requirements. Also, transit service in the area is limited, making it difficult to access the Marin Headlands and Fort Baker except by driving. In addition, pedestrian and bicycle roads and trails need to be improved to provide connectivity from U.S. 101 and local roads to park destinations in order to create an attractive and viable alternative to auto access.
