A proposal is under review to convert the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge bike path into a part-time feature, allowing access from 2 p.m. Thursdays to 11 p.m. Sundays. Caltrans and BATA submitted a revised application emphasizing the need to balance user needs and improve traffic conditions. The bike path has been successful since its pilot introduction in 2019, but commuting drivers face increased traffic. The plan aims to allow emergency vehicle access on weekdays and gather data to inform future decisions. A public hearing by BCDC is scheduled for August 7.
The proposal indicates the bike path will be available from 2 p.m. Thursdays to 11 p.m. Sundays, with modifications allowing emergency vehicles access during the week.
The modified pilot aims to balance the needs of cyclists and motorists, allowing for methodical understanding of trade-offs, benefiting all corridor travelers.
