  • Alameda County
    County Summaries Alameda County Overview Located at the heart of the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area, Alameda County is the second-largest county in the Bay Area, with a population of over 1.66 million. The extensive transportation network of roads, rails, buses, trails and pathways carries roughly 1.2 million commute trips daily to, from, within and through the county, supporting economic growth in the Bay Area, California and the rest of the nation. The county’s transportation system is multimodal, with non-auto trips growing more quickly than auto trips: between 2010 and 2018, for every new solo driver, four people began using transit, walking, biking, or telecommuting. Roads and Highways Alameda County roadways move people and goods within the county and beyond and support multiple transportation modes. As regional economic and population growth increase demand for goods and services, a variety of modes, including cars, transit, bikes and trucks, are competing to access the same facilities. The majority of Alameda County’s 3,978 road miles are highways, arterials and major local roads that provide access to housing, jobs, education and transit. Forty percent of daily trips in Alameda County are carried on arterials and major roads. Currently, five of the Bay Area’s top 10 most-congested freeway segments are in Alameda County, and average freeway delays are growing. The congestion in Alameda County is compounded by the large amount of vehicle, rail and Travelers have made over 14.5 million trips on the I-580 freight travel through Alameda Express Lanes since opening in February 2016.

  • Cultural Resources Survey Report for the San Francisco Bay Trail at Point Molate, Contra Costa County, California
    Appendix D CULTURAL RESOURCES REPORT Cultural Resources Survey Report for the San Francisco Bay Trail at Point Molate, Contra Costa County, California Prepared on Behalf of: Prepared By: East Bay Regional Park District NCE 2950 Peralta Oaks Court, P.O. Box 1760 P.O. Box 5381 Zephyr Cove, NV 89448 Oakland, CA 94605 NCE Project Number: 567.04.55 March 2018 Jeremy Hall With Contributions From: Cultural Resources Specialist Chad Moffett and Tim Smith NCE Architectural Historians Mead & Hunt ADMINISTRATIVE SUMMARY In 2009, the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) entered into an agreement for the donation of an easement for the San Francisco Bay Trail (Bay Trail) along the shoreline of their southernmost property on the San Pablo Peninsula at Point Molate. In 2013-14, the EBRPD hired NCE to conduct an alignment study for a Class I bike path and as a result, recorded the trail easement. Recently, the Bay Area Toll Authority (BATA) approved the installation of a bike and pedestrian path on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge to Marine Street, near Point Richmond, which would connect to the EBRPD’s easement at Stenmark Drive. The combined projects will connect trail users from both Richmond and Marin County to the San Pablo Peninsula. The proposed Bay Trail at Point Molate will be approximately 2.5 miles and extend north along the shoreline, through Chevron’s property, to the Point Molate Beach Park and Navel Fuel Depot property, owned and managed by the City of Richmond, giving the public access to the shoreline and the ability to connect to the Park via foot or bicycle.

  • Frequently Asked Questions About Planned Bridge Toll Increase
    Frequently Asked Questions about Planned Bridge Toll Increase Q.: What is BATA? A.: The Bay Area Toll Authority (BATA) was created by the California Legislature to administer the base toll revenues generated by the Bay Area’s seven state-owned toll bridges. In January 1998, MTC — the transportation planning, financing and coordinating agency for the nine-county region — began operations as BATA. For more information about BATA, go to <www.mtc.ca.gov/bata>. Q: Why are tolls being raised on the seven state-owned bridges? (The seven are the Antioch, Benicia-Martinez, Carquinez, Dumbarton, Richmond-San Rafael, San Mateo- Hayward and San Francisco-Oakland Bay bridges)? A: The single biggest reason is to help finance the projected $750 million cost of urgently needed seismic retrofits of the Antioch and Dumbarton bridges. Increased toll revenue also will help BATA address an estimated $35 million a year increase in its borrowing costs due to fundamental changes in the municipal bond market, and to help offset a slow but steady five-year decline in toll-paying traffic across the bridges. Q.: How is my current $4 toll spent? A.: The first dollar is used to pay for maintenance and operation of the seven state-owned bridges, and to finance the Regional Measure 1 projects approved by Bay Area voters in 1988. The third dollar is used to finance the Regional Traffic Relief Plan approved by voters in 2004 through Regional Measure 2. The second and fourth dollars were added by the state Legislature (originally in 1991 and again in 2005) to help finance the seismic retrofit of the five other state-owned toll bridges in the Bay Area.
