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.
However, a short gap remains just before the trail parallel to
Rydin Road reaches Central Avenue.

On June 21, 2011, the Richmond City Council authorized the
Community Redevelopment Agency to contract with Richmond’s
W.R. Forde on a $450,000 project to widen and repave the popular
0.5-mile trail section between Meeker Slough Bridge and Shimada
Park, as well as to renovate landscaping and lighting along the
trail. This narrow stretch of trail was built 25 year ago, well
before the San Francisco Bay Trail Plan was adopted in 1989.
 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 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.
