Inscription. Sausalito, like other small coastal towns, had unpaved roads that led though town and up into the hills. The image on the left shows the condition of the streets circa 1890. This would soon change. As travel on the ferries and rails increased, so did the number of innovations called "autos." This new mode of transportation served not only to increase traffic but also to become a new dilemma for the residents of Sausalito.
