Trail Closure -, MLK Shoreline to Tidewater Ave Options

[johnn]

The trail between MLK Shoreline and Tidewater avenue - along the estuary where it opens up to San Leandro Bay - has been closed for construction of a boathouse, and the only detour - even on weekends - is to go out to the frontage road along 880. I wrote to Robert Raburn, ED of the East Bay Bicycle Coalition, to see if we could improve the situation. Here is his response:


"Hi John,

I will visit the area to investigate early next week. This is a route of
regional significance. Closure without a signed and convenient detour is not
acceptable.

After I gather information, I hope you will join me in making needed appeals
to Lee Huo at the ABAG Bay Trail, EBRPD Director John Sutter, and Jason
Patton, Oakland Bicycle Program Manager.

-Robert Raburn, Executive Director"

I hope TA folks will join any effort to get better access....
