ACTION ALERTS
Act Now To Close the Gaps

Do you want to help complete the Bay Trail in Richmond?

If so, this page will tell you when action is needed. Typically this will take the form of attending public meetings or sending emails to elected officials and government agencies asking their support for completing the Bay Trail in Richmond. Email TRAC asking to be added to the Richmond Bay Trail Network if you would like to be informed of such opportunities.

Please thank Planning Commission Chair Finlay and the Commissioners for supporting completion of the San Francisco Bay Trail as a condition of approval for Chevron's Energy and Hydrogen Renewal Project. City staff had recommended that Chevron only be required to provide an easement across its lands south of I-580 for completing the Bay Trail between Point Richmond and the existing trail under the Richmond/San Rafael Bridge to Point Molate. On April 10, the Commission directed City staff to develop conditions requiring Chevron to pay half the cost of preparing construction design documents and the entire cost of building the trail.

SUGGESTED MESSAGE:

Subject: Thank You!

Chair Finlay and Commissioners,

Thanks very much for directing City staff to develop conditions requiring Chevron to help pay for design and construction of the Bay Trail segment between Point Richmond and the existing trail under the Richmond/San Rafael Bridge leading to Point Molate. Condition H2 requiring Chevron only to provide an easement doesn't go far enough. The Commission has required Republic Services and Toll Brothers to build and maintain longer Bay Trail segments as part of their projects. Please use this opportunity to sweep away Chevron's roadblock to completing the Bay Trail in Richmond.

Thank you very much!

Sincerely,

Name and address
