The Richmond-San Rafael Bridge bike path will operate part-time, from 2 p.m. Thursdays to 11 p.m. Sundays, as per the recommendation for approval. This change allows Caltrans and the Bay Area Toll Authority to use the shoulder as an emergency lane during peak hours while studying potential uses for carpool and transit lanes. Since its 2019 introduction as a pilot project, the path has expanded cycling connectivity but faced criticism from drivers about worsening traffic conditions due to its limitations.
The Richmond-San Rafael Bridge bike path conversion to part-time access has received a conditional recommendation for approval, limiting access to 2 p.m. Thursdays to 11 p.m. Sundays.
Caltrans and the Bay Area Toll Authority plan to push the moveable barrier aside during weekdays, allowing vehicle use with an eye on potential carpool and transit lanes.
