The Bay Trail Segment adjacent to Tidewater Drive in Oakland (south of High Street) has been closed for completion for many months. According to EBRPD Design Manager Audrey Som, this Friday, January 7, the construction gate will be removed by 1:00 pm, and the park and Bay Trail segment at the District’s Tidewater property will be open to the public. Expansion of the staging area (rocked parking area for 80 cars) is planned for this spring.
