The Bay Trail and Covid-19
The State of California has issued a shelter-in-place order to slow the spread of Covid-19. If you find the need to be outdoors for physical and mental well-being, State and local health officials are recommending that you walk, run, hike, and bike in your own neighborhood and local parks while practicing social distancing of at least 6 feet. If you find that you’re unable to maintain 6-feet of social distancing, find another location where the 6-foot distance can be maintained to protect your health and the health of your family and community.
Richmond-San Rafael Bridge Opens to Cyclists and Pedestrians
On Saturday, November 16, 2019 a new section of the Bay Trail opened on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge allowing first time access for cyclists and pedestrians on the span. Since that time, the 6-mile stretch proved popular during its first year-and-a-half with over 100,000 crossings to date! The opening is part of a pilot program that will use counts of cyclists and pedestrians as a factor in whether the trail becomes permanent. This page will highlight organized walks and rides on the bridge.
