A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF
TIBURON CHANGING THE NAME OF THE RICHARDSON'S
BAY LINEAL PATH TO THE OLD RAIL TRAIL
WHEREAS, the Town of Tiburon owns and maintains a scenic path on the shore of
Richardson's Bay for the use of pedestrians, bicyclists and other users; and
WHEREAS, said path's official name is the Richardson's Bay Lineal Path, but it is also
commonly called the Multi-Use Path, the Peninsula Path and the Bike Path; and
WHEREAS, the path is located on the former railway right of way and thus is intimately
linked with the Town's distinctive history as a vital railroad supply link to San Francisco before the
construction of the Golden Gate Bridge; neither the path's official name nor its nicknames reflect the
path's special character and history;
WHEREAS, the Heritage and Arts Commission has recommended that the path be re-named
the "Old Rail Trail," a name that both evokes the path's history and current use.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of Tiburon that
the "Richardson" s Bay Lineal Path" hereby be renamed the "Old Rail Trail." Future amendments to
the Town's General Plan, Municipal Code and other appropriate documents shall reflect this change.
In the interim, all references to the Richardson's Bay Lineal Path, the Multi-Use Path, the Peninsula
Path or the Bike Path shall be deemed to mean the Old Rail Trail.
