The county has received funds to rehabilitate nine miles of Pierce Point Road that begins at Sir Francis Drake Boulevard and heads west into the seashore, a stretch that sees over 600 cars a day. The Federal Lands Access Program awarded an $11 million grant to Marin’s department of public works, accounting for nearly 90 percent of the total project cost; the county reported that the remaining funds will likely come from local sources. The project, which is not expected to be implemented until 2024, will involve re-paving, drainage upgrades, roadway widening and updated signage and striping. The Federal Highway Administration oversees the competitive application process for this grant, which requires projects to meet a range of parameters to improve transportation facilities that provide access to federal lands. Two other road improvements underway on National Park Service land in Marin have received funding from the Federal Lands Access Program, or FLAP. The county received a $17.7 million grant for a 12-mile section of road on Sir Francis Drake Boulevard between Pierce Point Road and Chimney Rock Road, which sees over 1,300 vehicles a day; the design for that project will likely be completed this spring. Lastly, $5.2 million in FLAP funds were awarded to renovate 2.4 miles on Muir Woods Road, where over 2,300 cars pass through daily. A public meeting will be held this summer for the county to present a project update prior to the final design submission this fall.
