The Emeryville City Council will consider a resolution to support a multi-use path on the west span of the Bay Bridge. The Council will most likely approve this item. You can come to voice your support and reinforce the major importance of the path.

The meeting will start at 7:15 with this item (#VIII B) towards the end of the evening's agenda.
