Lake Merritt Loop Campaign:
Lake Merritt is the heart of Oakland. We are petitioning for a continuous, 2-way protected cycletrack all the way around the lake. This is both to protect and support people walking & rolling, as well as inspire folks to bring this type of facility to every corner of town. To keep up with this campaign, join the email list.Â
