The Bay Area Conservation and Development Commission is set to vote on a proposal to reduce access to the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge bike path from 24/7 to three days a week. Since the pilot project began in 2019, cyclists and pedestrians logged over 413,000 bike trips and 60,000 pedestrian crossings. The proposed schedule would allow access Thursday afternoons through Sundays. The initiative aims to give transportation agencies time to analyze response times and traffic impact, following several delays since the initial vote scheduled in March.
Since the pilot's start in 2019, there have been 413,889 bike trips and 60,003 pedestrian crossings on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, showing significant use.
Officials aim to reduce bike and foot access to three days a week to gather data on emergency response times and traffic effects, causing concern among advocates.
