Beginning next Wednesday, there will be a new way for cyclists and pedestrians to cross the shipping channel from Oakland to Alameda.
It's a plan that's been on the books for years, but it's only becoming feasible because of the growth on both sides of the estuary. In Oakland , there is Jack London Square, with hotels, restaurants, entertainment venues, and access to the downtown, ferries and Amtrak. In Alameda , there is Alameda Landing, with Target, Safeway and other retail stores. On both sides are thousands of new homes and apartments.
'Because back then, before Covid, we used to be busy. Weekends, Saturday and Sunday, lines out this door. But now, it's not as much as we used to have.' But one simple solution will begin next Wednesday morning. The San Francisco Bay Ferry will begin operating a small bike and pedestrian shuttle between the Alameda Landing and Jack London Square.
