Marin agency shifts funding to protect overcrossing project

The Transportation Authority of Marin has shuffled state funding to advance one project while another is postponed.

A $1.16 million award earmarked for the overhaul of Tamalpais Drive overcrossing in Corte Madera has been reallocated toward a utility relocation and road improvement project in Novato. The Corte Madera project has been delayed.

The funding comes from the state’s Local Partnership Program, which is fed with Senate Bill 1 gas tax revenue.

The Corte Madera project isn’t being shortchanged, however.
