The City of Alameda is located approximately 15 miles east of San Francisco in Alameda County (figure 1.1). Regional access to the City is provided by Interstate 880 (I‐880) connected via Interstate 80 (I‐80), Interstate 980 (I‐980) and Interstate 238 (I‐238). The project site lies in between Alameda Marina Drive and Willow Street. To the west of the site is Alameda Municipal Power, to the east is the Navy Operational Support Center (NOSC) and to the south is a mixture of light industrial, retail and residential uses. North of the site across the estuary is Coast Guard Island and Union Point Park located in Oakland along Embarcadero.
