RESOLUTION NO. 3337
A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL
OF THE TOWN OF TmURON
ENDORSING THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY TRAIL PLAN
WHEREAS, in 1989 the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG)
adopted a plan for a biking and hiking route that would circle San Francisco and
San Pablo bays, providing connections to existing parks, open space and other
recreation facilities and creating links to existing and proposed transportation
facilities while avoiding adverse effects on the environment of the bays; and
WHEREAS, the plan for this route, which became known as the Bay Trail,
was developed over a two-year process by an advisory committee to ABAG that
included representatives from a broad range of interests, including Federal, State,
regional and local government agencies, environmental and recreational
organizations, private landowners and business interests; and
-
WHEREAS, according to the plan, the Bay Trail when complete will be a
continuous 400-mile hiking and biking corridor that will ink all nine Bay Area
counties, pass through 47 cities, including the Town of Tiburon, and cross the major
toll bridges in the region; and
WHEREAS, to date, over half of the ultimate length of Bay Trail has been
developed, with many popular segments existing that provide inexpensive
recreation, exercise and sightseeing opportunities; offer a transportation
alternative; serve as a setting for environmental education and wildlife viewing; and
increase access to the outdoors, the Bay and numerous point of interest; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Tiburon acknowledges the feasibility and
workability of the Bay Trail as demonstrated by the completion of over half its
length in a short ten years, and has determined that the Bay Trail concept is
consistent with relevant policies of the Tiburon general Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Town Council of the
Town of Tiburon does hereby endorse the San Francisco Bay Trail Plan.
