- Fact Sheets

- The East Bay Greenway Multimodal Project (Phase 1) consists of a regional bikeway with pedestrian, transit, and placemaking improvements along city streets parallel to the BART alignment and connecting the BART stations between Lake Merritt and South Hayward. The project will include shared use paths, separated bikeways, pedestrian crossing enhancements, bus stop improvements, intersection safety improvements (protected intersections), new and modified traffic signals, and urban design treatments. See the tabs for city-specific details regarding the project.
- The East Bay Greenway Urban Trail Project (Phase 2) is a longer-term project which would provide an off-street trail facility along the BART corridor with linear park enhancements but requires significant funding and right-of-way acquisition from Union Pacific Railroad.
Project Benefits
- Improve cyclist and pedestrian network connectivity in communities along the BART line
- Improve access to regional transit, schools, downtown area and other destinations
- Create a facility that is accessible and comfortable for bicyclists and pedestrians of all ages and abilities
- Improve safety for bicyclists and pedestrians
- Support promotion of a multimodal transportation system and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
Within Oakland, the East Bay Greenway Multimodal Project will span 8 miles and connect the Downtown, Eastlake, San Antonio, Fruitvale, Coliseum, Elmhurst, and Stonehurst areas. The East Bay Greenway will generally run via East 10th, East 8th, East 12th, and San Leandro Streets and will incorporate the previously completed segment of the Project from 75th to 85th Avenues, and Oakland’s East 12th Street Bikeway and Seminary to 69th projects.
East Bay Greenway improvements will include a variety of elements designed to improve overall safety, create comfortable facilities for cyclists and pedestrians of all ages and abilities, and enhance the overall streetscape. Project features will include shared use paths, separated bikeways, protected intersections, enhanced crosswalks with flashing beacons and pedestrian signals, ADA curb ramp and lighting upgrades, bus loading islands, new traffic signals and raised medians, and street beautification/greening features.

In Ashland/Cherryland, the East Bay Greenway Multimodal Project will construct 0.3 miles of complete streets improvements along East 14th Street from Bayfair Drive to 162nd Avenue. These improvements will connect to existing and planned projects along East 14th Street south of 162nd Avenue in Ashland and Cherryland.
East Bay Greenway improvements will include a variety of elements designed to improve overall safety, create comfortable facilities for cyclists and pedestrians of all ages and abilities, and enhance the overall streetscape. Project features will include separated bikeways, enhanced crosswalks, ADA curb ramp and lighting upgrades, sidewalk repair, bus loading islands, and street beautification/greening features.

East Bay Greenway Urban Trail (Phase 2)
A longer-term East Bay Greenway Urban Trail (Phase 2) would construct an off-street regional trail facility in the BART corridor connecting between Fruitvale BART and South Hayward BART, a distance of approximately 13-miles. Phase 2 generally provides the same biking and walking connections as Phase 1, but offers the potential for a linear-park style facility with separate bridges at major street crossings, recreation amenities, and wider, more separated trail facility. Alameda CTC studied and environmentally cleared Phase 2 from 2016-2018. Phase 2 is being pursued on a longer timeframe due to the high-cost and need to acquire right-of-way from Union Pacific Railroad. Alameda CTC studied two design options as part of prior environmental documents. A rail-to-trail option assumes the abandonment and acquisition of the entire Union Pacific Oakland Subdivision north of Industrial Parkway in Hayward. A rail-with-trail option assumes that the Oakland Subdivision remains an active rail line and right-of-way is acquired to construct a trail in a shared rail-trail corridor. Both options would require Union Pacific to agree to provide necessary ROW and local jurisdictions to agree to own and maintain the facility.
