Join Bike East Bay, City of Oakland staff and elected officials, Walk Oakland Bike Oakland, Traffic Violence Rapid Response, and many more community partners to mark the start of construction on Oakland’s Lakeshore Ave protected bikeway project between E 18th Street and El Embarcadero.
When: Friday, July 25, starting at noon
Where: Lake Merritt Pergola (Lakeshore Ave and El Embarcadero, Oakland)
This 2-way concrete-protected cycletrack was expedited 2 years ahead of the original 2027 construction schedule in response to a tragic crash that occurred in the summer of 2023. We are pleased to have worked with city staff and local advocacy partners to move this project forward, as part of our greater Lake Merritt Loop campaign for protected bikeway facilities all the way around the lake. Learn more about this advocacy work on our campaign page here.
Complete details about the Lakeshore Ave project are available on the City of Oakland website here.
