Why This Vote Matters
Richmond unanimously accepted $43,300 in outside funding to close a gap in the popular Greenway trail near Ohlone Park. El Cerrito is contributing $20,000 and BART is providing $23,300 for the project, which will connect a missing section of the walking and biking trail. The six council members present all voted yes, with Councilmember Bates absent. This routine infrastructure decision allows the city to move forward with the trail connection project using funds from partner agencies rather than Richmond's budget.
