Bellam Boulevard Workshop

The Transportation Authority of Marin (TAM) is planning a new project to reduce travel times between northbound US 101 and the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge and improve traffic flow and connectivity for all users of the Bellam Boulevard corridor. Currently, drivers have to exit the freeway to access I-580, causing heavy traffic on Sir Francis Drake Boulevard (in Larkspur) and Bellam Boulevard (in San Rafael).

TAM is pleased to invite you to a public workshop dedicated to identifying community needs, usage patterns, and solutions for Bellam Boulevard. The workshop will include an informational presentation followed by small group discussions. A Spanish-language workshop is planned for July 2024.

• BELLAM BOULEVARD WORKSHOP 
  When: Wednesday, May 29, from 5:30pm to 7:30pm
  Where: Marin Health and Wellness Connection Center, 3240 Kerner Blvd, San Rafael, CA

We look forward to your participation and valuable input! Please feel free to share this information with friends, family, and colleagues who may be interested in helping shape and reimagine the Bellam Boulevard area.

About the US 101/I-580 Multi-Modal and Local Access Improvement Project

Currently, drivers who wish to access the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge (I-580) from northbound US 101 in Larkspur must either exit the freeway and travel on East Sir Francis Drake Boulevard in Larkspur, or exit the freeway at Bellam Boulevard in San Rafael to access I-580 and the bridge entrance. This can result in congestion and traffic delays on Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, Bellam Boulevard, and northbound US 101.

The US 101/I-580 Multi-Modal and Local Access Improvement Project aims to address congestion and enhance connectivity. The project will also improve traffic circulation, transit connections, and safety for bicycles and pedestrians. The project will include landscaping and streetscape beautification on Bellam Boulevard and will promote equity for all users and communities within the project area.
