"The Celebrate Trails Day ride co-hosted by various organizations aimed to encourage outdoor activity and celebrate the existing East Bay trails, despite the cold and drizzly weather."
"Gavin Lohry, Senior Coordinator for the Bay Skyway Program, highlighted the stark reality of the Bay Skyway phase 2, stating, 'In the future it would be great to have something on the west span but it is at least a $500M dollar project.'"
"The planned Bay Skyway will eventually connect Oakland to downtown San Francisco, but the path forward is steep, with no current funding solutions for the western span bike path."
Over 100 cyclists participated in the Celebrate Trails Day ride from West Oakland to highlight the incomplete bike route between San Francisco and the East Bay. The event honored the Alex Zuckermann path, which connects the East Bay to Yerba Buena and Treasure Island. Gavin Lohry provided updates on the Bay Skyway Program, emphasizing the significant funding challenges for the western span bike path, estimated at $500 million, with no current funding solutions available.
