Support fixing bridge traffic that worsens air pollution in Richmond neighborhoods

Environmental JusticeEnvironment

In Plain English

A new bike lane on the Richmond San Rafael Bridge eliminated the breakdown shoulder, causing traffic backups that push pollution into Richmond communities. The city asks the Bay Area Toll Authority to study air quality impacts and fund improvements like a second bike path. If approved, Richmond formally supports these solutions to reduce environmental harm.
