The latest delay has been the development of the North and South approaches, but the contract for that work will be signed this spring. Work will take about six months. So look for the ribbon cutting somewhere around October or November. According to Marin County Bike Coalition Exec Director Kim Baenisch, it now looks like the tunnel will open in Fall 2010.

The redwood supports, which are solid heartwood, are being salvaged to the fullest extent possible, though many pieces have been damaged over the years. The pieces that are in good shape will likely reappear in various forms, including furniture, according to the engineers. -Tom Murphy Writer's Note: Ah, Mario raises a good question, and there's a happy answer that didn't quite make it into the story.

I mean, I would take them, as would many, if they would let us...
