Golden Gate Market

Golden Gate Market wants a Better Bridgeway! Hear it from the owner …

Crossing the Street is a Challenge for Many

The young and the elderly especially have challenges crossing the street with a safe feeling. This video shows the neighborhood school aged child waiting over 2 minutes for a safe time to cross. If he could push a button to turn on the flashers the cars would stop and let him proceed to the waterfront where the bike lanes were proposed.

Proposed Crosswalk for a Better Bridgeway

The proposed crosswalk has Rapid Flashing Beacons notifying drivers of pedestrians crossing the road.

Notice the Yellow Commercial Loading Zone designates curbside loading for a safe delivery of goods to Old Town’s cornerstone market.

See the shelved proposal from the professional engineers, and the city’s slower Pedestrian Crossing Project.

Delivery to Golden Gate Market

An actual delivery to Golden Gate Market using the proposed curbside for the delivery.

The proprietors of Golden Gate Market work with their delivery companies to use the spaces they have determined to be more safe. The curb is red indicating no stopping by anyone, but the policies and lack of designated infrastructure in Sausalito leaves this up to the merchants and drivers.

Parametrix collaborated with Golden Gate Market to find the suitable delivery solution.
