  • El Cerrito Historical Trail
    EL CERRITO HISTORICAL TRAIL Cub Scout Pack 104 El Cerrito, California www.elcerritoscouting.org Hike Information Total Trail Length: 8.0 Miles Western Segment - Del Norte Station to EC Plaza Station: 3.8 Miles Eastern Segment - EC Plaza Station to Del Norte Station: 4.2 Miles Hike Instructions The following pages include step-by-step hiking directions, denoted by underlined text. Major points of interest are highlighted in BOLD CAPITAL LETTERS. Informational text is presented in the indented sections. There are Numbered Questions for you to answer along the way. You may write in answers next to the questions or use the optional answer sheet at the back of the booklet. Cub Scouts are encouraged to hike as much of the trail as they can, but they are not required to complete the whole 8 miles. Do your best! Older Scouts are expected to complete the entire trail in order to earn the patch. The hike is designed as a loop, starting and ending at the Del Norte BART Station, but you may jump in anywhere along the route. The trail may be hiked over multiple days; there is no time limit. If you have difficulty finding a point of interest or the answer to a question, it’s ok to skip it and move on to the next one. What you’re looking for may no longer be there. A Brief History of El Cerrito The area around present-day El Cerrito was once home to the Ohlone Indians. The first Spanish explorers, led by Pedro Fages, arrived in 1772 and set up camp alongside the “cerrito” known today as Albany Hill.

    i Regional Oral History Office University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California CHARLES SEIM The Bay Bridge Oral History Project Interviews conducted by Sam Redman in 2012 Copyright © 2013 by the California Department of Transportation This series of interviews was funded through a contract with the Oakland Museum of California, the California Department of Transportation, the California Transportation Commission, and the Bay Area Toll Authority ii Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between the University of California and Charles Seim dated September 4, 2012. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes.

  • Mapping the Bay
    ABOVE & BELOW | EXHIBITION LESSONS Mapping the Bay. Instructions for Teachers This lesson is to be done in class before visiting the museum and uses a map of the Bay to orient students to the geography of the Bay Area. Make copies of the map for students. Explain that on the left side, there is a wide border— this is not land. Students should understand that the Pacific Ocean extends beyond that border. Before You Start With the Map In order to do this assignment you need a projection of the map or a larger copy or to draw what you need on the board. Most students will work best if they can see what you are directing them to place on the map. Make sure you circulate around the class to assist where necessary. You also might want to download or get a copy of a San Francisco Bay Area Map [baycityguide.com provides a map that is useful] and a map with the bridges that cross the bay. [Bay Area Toll Authority makes a map that is useful]. Allow time for students to look at the shape of bay and how it is formed. Ask students why it might be called a Bay—how the Bay might have been formed, etc. Mapping the Bay The lower left hand border is a good place to put a compass rose. Students should use the lower left hand corner to put a compass rose with the cardinal directions: North, South, East, West. After you have the directions identified, have students find and write in the east bay, north bay, and south bay.

  • 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.
