Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously directed staff to move forward with a specific route for connecting Richmond's section of the Bay Trail, a regional walking and biking path around San Francisco Bay. Currently, gaps in Richmond prevent people from using the trail continuously through the city. Staff will bring back a resolution on July 10, 2012, supporting the chosen route alignment and authorizing an agreement with Caltrans to make it happen. This continues the council's consistent support for infrastructure projects, with all members historically backing such measures at high rates.
