First Wednesday: Why BART Never Came to Marin with Dick Spotswood

First Wednesday: Why BART Never Came to Marin with Dick Spotswood In-Person

In the 1960s, there was a widespread and popular belief that Marin would grow its population exponentially. Ambitious plans for new bridges and rapid transit connections to San Francisco’s Financial District proliferated, but many never came to fruition. Discover the history behind these unfulfilled dreams and how they shaped the Marin of today. Join Dick Spotswood for a talk about why BART never came to Marin County.
