There is a lot happening with our East Bay Greenway campaign between Oakland and Fremont! Read through the updates below, and sign up for our campaign list to stay in the know.
Project Updates
Here is a timeline estimate for the many projects in development. Visit our website at BikeEastBay.org/EastBayGreenway for an interactive map with additional info.Â
Oakland
Lake Merritt to Fruitvale
This 2.5-mile segment will be made up of on-street, concrete-protected bikeways, and is expected to start construction in late 2026. The Oakland bike/walk infrastructure committee organized by our Bike East Bay Advocacy Director received an update on this project in January, and the presentation materials with details are available here.
On the east end, this project will connect with Oakland’s Fruitvale Ave raised cycletrack that was recently completed. On the west end it will connect with an Oak St cycletrack starting construction this spring.
A separate discussion with the same Oakland bike/walk infrastructure committee will be held on March 5th, 2026, covering the East Bay Greenway segment between 54th Ave and the San Leandro border. To be notified once that meeting agenda is published, sign up for the “BPAC Agendas & Announcements” list here.
Fruitvale to 54th Ave
The City of Oakland will start construction on this part of the East Bay Greenway in 2026.
Running between Fruitvale BART and 54th Ave, it will be made up of a combination of protected bikeways and highly traffic-calmed, neighborhood streets.
Seminary to Coliseum
A half-mile of the East Bay Greenway has recently been completed, as an off-street bike/walk trail north of Coliseum BART along San Leandro St, between 69th St and Seminary Ave.
This exciting project includes new pathway lighting and more than 60 new street trees.
In addition, the city made repairs to the striping and fencing for the existing pathway segment to the south between 75th Ave and 85th Ave.
Read more about this project in Oakland’s Winter 2026 bike program newsletter.
San Leandro
Oakland Border to Bay fair
Construction in San Leandro will start in 2026, with this East Bay Greenway segment between the Oakland border and Bayfair Dr along San Leandro Blvd and E 14th St. Due to the complexity, the work will take several years to complete.
The San Leandro bike/walk committee reviewed the project in November 2025, and the presentation file with information and project schematics is available here.
The designs include on-street concrete protected bikeways, with some 2-way cycletrack segments but mostly one-way on each side of the street.
Transit boarding islands with bike channels will also be provided to reduce conflicts between bikes and buses, along with concrete protected intersections (info here) to assist with safe left turns and intersection crossings.
Hayward
I-238 to Rose St
This raised, sidewalk level protected bikeway started construction in 2025, and is expected to continue into 2027.
Led by Alameda County Public Works, it will extend 1 mile from the I-238 underpass south to the Hayward border at Rose Street, joining up with another new raised protected bikeway completed in 2025 (more on this next).
Project details are on the county’s landing page here, and a concept schematic is available to view or download here.
Rose St to Hotel Ave
This sidewalk level protected bikeway was completed in 2025, extending half a mile between Hotel Ave and Rose St in Hayward, separated by curbs and landscaping.
This project was highlighted in our 2025 protected bikeways roundup post.
Read more about this and more new Hayward protected bikeways here.
Downtown to South Hayward
We were disappointed last year when Hayward opted to move the East Bay Greenway alignment through Downtown off of Mission Blvd and onto side streets.
However we haven’t given up and we still intend to win a protected bikeway on Mission.
A Safe Streets Downtown study is currently underway to look at potential redesigns on Mission, Foothill, and A Street.
The study website is available here. Check it out and complete the survey, writing in that you want to see continuous, protected bikeway on Mission Blvd.
