A study indicates that Marin County's transportation infrastructure, including highways, bike paths, and ferry terminals, is at risk from rising sea levels. Areas like Sausalito, Mill Valley, and Marin City are particularly vulnerable to flooding. Floodwaters can disrupt access in Marin City, especially when heavy rains coincide with high tides. Researchers identified a tipping point by mid-century leading to permanent inundation. Potential protective strategies include building sea walls, elevating streets, and improving stormwater management, with Caltrans also researching the situation further.
