The East Bay Greenway is a planned, 30-mile facility connecting from Oakland to Fremont, linking between BART stations with a series of trails and protected bikeways.
Alameda CTC's East Bay Greenway segment on San Leandro Blvd in San Leandro is scheduled to start construction in October 2026, and will continue into 2027.
This project will include over 2 miles of protected bikeway stretching from the Oakland border, past San Leandro BART, and connecting to E 14th Street.
The plans for this protected bikeway project are available to review here.
Today we celebrated the grand opening of Oakland's East Bay Greenway phase 2 trail, north of Coliseum BART to Seminary Ave! Find the complete event details here
This project was highlighted by the League of American Bicyclists via their "Local Wins" update blog post!
We are excited to share that the design for Oakland's East Bay Greenway segment from 35th Ave to 54th Ave is complete, and the project has been advertised for contractor bids. If all goes well this will mean construction starting in late 2026 or early 2027.

ABOUT THE EAST BAY GREENWAY
Originally proposed in 2008 as a rail-to-trail conversion taking over the Union Pacific train tracks, the East Bay Greenway has since shifted to delivering mostly on-street bike facilities as the initial phase, adding physically protected bikeways and bike/walk trails along major corridors.
Despite an increase in the number of high quality bikeways around the East Bay, this Greenway will run through areas where the network is still sparse and good biking and walking routes are hard to come by.
By connecting between communities as well as to transit hubs this project will improve traffic safety on disinvested high-injury corridors, providing access to opportunity through healthy and sustainable, multi-modal trips.

Fruitvale to 54th Ave Bikeway
This City of Oakland project will bridge the gap between Fruitvale BART and a separated pathway on San Leandro Street using a combination of protected bikeways and painted bike lanes between 35th and 44th Aves, and then a traffic-calmed segment with no bike lanes between 44th and 54th Aves.
This includes a “counter-flow” protected facility allowing 2-way bike traffic on the one-way part of E 12th from 44th Ave to 40th Ave.

HAYWARD
Downtown & South Hayward Bikeway
Originally proposed to continue straight down Mission Blvd, this project was controversially pushed to side streets including Grand, Silva, and Whitman St.
This new alignment uses a combination of trails, protected bikeways, and shared bike/car lane neighborhood streets with traffic calming.
The project leads at the Alameda County Transportation Commission are still promising a high quality bikeway but Bike East Bay and our partners at Bike Hayward continue to advocate for a continuous protected bikeway on Mission Blvd as well.
Project info is available here.

UNION CITY - FREMONT
Caltrans has allocated $44 Million in state funding for 7.7 miles of protected bikeway and other safety upgrades on Mission Blvd, from Lexington Ave in Union city to the 680 interchange in Fremont.
This project will extend an existing protected bikeway segment on Mission Blvd to the north, connecting to the rest of the East Bay Greenway segments currently in development.
Construction on the Caltrans project is estimated to start in 2028.
