SOUTHERN SHORELINE
Harbour Way, Marina Bay and Point Isabel

The Bay Trail has been completed throughout Marina Bay, including the transportation short cut along Meeker Tidal Creek connecting Marina Bay Park directly with Point Isabel Regional Shoreline.

The only gaps remaining are on the shoreline of the Ford Assembly Building, Hall Avenue and Harbour Way South. Except for Harbour Way between Hall Avenue and Hoffman Blvd., these gaps will be closed when the historic Ford Assembly Building is renovated and revitalized.

The Richmond Community Redevelopment Agency intends to complete the Class I Bay Trail on the east side of Harbour Way South as part of a plan to improve this street as an attractive gateway to the Rosie the Riveter WWII/Home Front National Historical Park. However, these plans have been stymied by port heavy industries, which oppose beautification of the area.


TRAC is working toward a loop trail inland of Stege Marsh and Meeker Tidal Creek between the South 51st Street trailhead and the Marina Bay Parkway. Richmond’s General Plan calls for a bridge over Meeker Tidal Creek to connect the Bay Trail with the end of South 32nd Street where Meeker Tidal Creek Trail runs west to Regatta Blvd behind Bio-Rad and Richmond Wholesale Meat Company buildings.

TRAC, Bio-Rad and Richmond Planning Department have developed a plan to widen this trail. TRAC anticipates that UC Berkeley’s proposed Bayside Research Campus and Cherokee Simeon’s proposed Campus Bay project will continue this trail east inland of Stege Marsh to South 51st Street.
