Mook raised a very important issue below: the failure to integrate SMART's Larkspur Station with the GGBTD ferry landing. He said that synonymous, board personality, has good theories on solving this. I would like to hear it.

Mook has posited an intriguing moving walk viaduct to the ferry which could certainly work, in my opinion.

At present there is .4 miles separating the two terminals. Also, thirty feet elevation difference. Two roads need to be crossed, one a major artery. I have identified two pedestrian routes, both about .4 miles. There is the high route and the low route, as I call them. High uses the pedestrian overpass to cross over the major artery. The low route crosses it at grade. Both take about 9 mins for a very athletic young man in running shoes, shorts, and a light windbreaker walking at a normal pace during the middle of evening commute hour, around 530, as a ferry arrives. This includes time spent waiting to cross roads.

SMART's terminus will be adjacent to the Cinemark Centuary Larkspur theater. SMART has an easement through their parking lot for pedestrian/bike access. There will be stairs up to the station. See this map: [www.google.com]
