FURTHER UPDATE as of March 27th: The April 3rd BCDC hearing and vote on the bridge trail has been postponed again. See the note at the top of this page for details.

ATTENTION: The Bay Conservation and Development Commission meeting and final vote was originally scheduled for March 20th, but has since been rescheduled to Thursday, April 3rd, with less than a week’s notice.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, as we know many people took time off in order to participate on the originally scheduled date. We hope that you can still join us for the new meeting date, and appreciate your support by making a public comment in whatever format is available to you.

The April 3rd meeting details will be published here within a week of that event date.

The Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) will hold a hearing and final vote on Thursday, March 20th starting at 10AM to decide on the future of the bridge trail. Sign our petition below, and read our latest blog post here for more info and ways to get involved.​

The West  Contra Costa Transportation Commission (WCCTC) unanimously votes to sign a resolution to  recommended continuation of the Richmond-San Rafael bridge trail pilot until after the completion of the westbound I-580 open road tolling and HOV lane project.

The City of Albany unanimously supports a resolution in support of keeping the path. “NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Albany does hereby support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week access to the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge Trail for pedestrians and bicyclists.”

Frustrating news: MTC requested and received initial authorization from BATA (Bay Area Toll Authority) to advance their plans for eliminating access of the RSR Trail. While this isn’t a final approval, it’s a significant step backwards. Help us keep the momentum by signing the petition!
