Marin County’s state assemblyman, Bay Area business organizations and Richmond residents are calling on the state to use bridge toll revenues to reopen a third westbound lane on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge to address air pollution impacts caused by traffic jams.
Assemblyman Damon Connolly and other supporters said the path should be reopened to vehicle traffic during the peak morning commute hours to address severe congestion on the Richmond side and alleviate the exhaust polluting neighboring communities. Proponents of the plan say they are not calling for ending bicycle and pedestrian access to the bridge.
Connolly said that while there are specific projects to improve vehicle traffic conditions on the two ends of the bridge, such as the removal of the old toll booths on the Richmond side, the measure has more open-ended allocations that could be used to fund this project.
