Harbour Way, Marina Bay and Point Isabel

Harbour Way, Marina Bay & Point IsabelThe 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. However, a short gap remains just before the trail parallel to Rydin Road reaches Central Avenue.

Portions of the Bay Trail connecting Jay & Barbara Vincent Park with Meeker Slough and Marina Bay Parkway were built before the San Francisco Bay Trail was authorized by state legislation in 1987.  These older, narrower trail sections are being widened, repaved and enhanced with new landscaping and lighting as a project of Richmond Community Redevelopment Agency.  Richmond's Questa Engineering Corp. has completed design and construction documents, and Agency staff expect to initiate trail improvements in late 2010.

Marina Bay by David MooreTRAC 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 anticipates that future development on UC Berkeley and Zeneca properties will continue this trail east inland of Stege Marsh to South 51st Street with a connection to the Bay Trail at S. 46th Street.
