HOORAY - ONE STEP CLOSERT TO BIKE/PED ACCESS SHORE TO SHORE IN THE BAY AREA (SF Streetsblog)


Streetsblog SF
is reporting that MTC is now funding a study exploring the addition of two bike/ped paths along the Western span of the new Bay Bridge, which would connect Oakland to San Francisco for walkers and bikers for the first time. This is fantastic news. Not only will it be a great tourist attraction, recreational path, it will continue to decrease vehicle miles driven, reduce BART peak congestion, and it should also decrease the socio-economic isolation that faces West Oakland.

BRAVO! Lets keep the pressure on to make sure this project goes forth!
