About this Project:
The West Oakland Link is a proposed 1.1-mile-long elevated pedestrian and bicycle pathway that will close a critical active transportation gap by safely linking West Oakland to its shoreline, the Bay Trail, and San Francisco via the Bay Bridge East Span pathway. MTC and BATA will share how the WO Link project intends to connect underserved communities with jobs, recreation, and park amenities.
