Readers of this board may find the results of this survey conducted yesterday interesting. The survey has 100 respondents, the majority (64%) are San Rafael residents, others live across Marin.
There is overwhelming opposition amongst city residents to proceed with allowing SMART to be extended to Larkspur before:
- analysis of traffic impact is performed
- SMART can demonstrate it will generate sufficient ridership
The syrvect found:
- strong support (79%) for the above proposal, e.g. delaying SMART being extended to Larkspur until analysis is performed and train ridership assessed
- 31% voted for SMART
- 75% now do not believe SMART is a worthwhile project
- 1 out of 100 respondents said they would take SMART every weekday
- 78% disagree that SMART will relieve traffic congestion
- 72% disagree that SMART will help fight climate change
- 74% disagree that SMART is a well managed project
