Alameda County
The East Bay Greenway is planned to be a bicycle and pedestrian pathway that extends from the City of Oakland to the City of Hayward underneath the elevated BART tracks. This thirteen-mile greenway will run through four jurisdictions and connect five BART stations, as well as other regional destinations, such as the Oakland Coliseum and Bay Fair Center. The proposed pathway parallels major transportation corridors that link homes, job centers, and schools in the East Bay. The greenway will make travel between these destinations safer for pedestrians and bicyclists by separating them from vehicle traffic. The neighborhoods through which the path passes are experiencing significant new growth, and already lack sufficient parks and opportunities for recreation. Once complete, the East Bay Greenway will be an amenity for these neighborhoods that increases connectivity, promotes health, and makes the surrounding areas more livable.
