Re: (rshsdepot) A Larkspur rail question

["Paul S. Luchter" <luckyshow_@_mindspring.com>]

I think there was a vote..I think it was a referendum for some thing like
used to be called a "people mover", a relatively low density thing, I don't
know if it was north or south of Larkspur (the line was cut back north to
there before it stopped, I don't know when)...they voted against it, I
remember most of the ROW as being very woodsy, maybe near a road sometime
but not much in the way of huge populations except in the cities, of course
when I saw it it was barely still running...They voted down the referendum,
kind of sad for a peninsula which I think once I think had the most commuter
rail, rapid transit per capata than anywhere else, I am not sure in # of
trains or in passenger train miles....I also think the platforms and such
may still be standing in Tiburon near the Bay shore, but I don't think in
Sausalito
