#1. Pt. Richmond
I-580 "access" to
Western Drive. The yellow highlight indicates the problemmatic
portion which lacks a North-south road connector under
I-580.
Because of this, there is no safe access to the bridge
nor to Pt. Molate from the Bay Trail and Pt. Richmond. The leftmost "unnamed
street" perpendicular to shoreline running under I-580 is Scofield Street,
a private street since the City vacated it in Chevron's favor in 1956.

#2.
Needed "access" to Western Drive. The only bike/ped access
to the bridge or to Pt. Molate from either side of I-580 is by traveling
west ON THE FREEWAY SHOULDER with no separation
from traffic. This
has already resulted in the tragic death of one bicyclist and serious
injury to another. We
need a path NOW on the I-560 shoulder separated from traffic
by a solid barrier.

proposed bicycle on-ramp to the bridge above the toll booths. The
rectangular text box sits above the proposed on-ramp which runs north-south,
perpendicular to I-580. The current deadly unseparated bike
lane is also indicated as a dotted line leading to the Western
Dr. / Pt. Molate off-ramp. Click
