Berkeley Greenway Ocean-Ashby

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Part of the protected, off-street diagonal bikeway that crosses from Berkeley into Emeryville. After a brief section starting on Ocean Ave on Doyle Street it continues diagonal again from the Emeryville Organic Community Garden at 59th St to Stanford/Horton St, where the Horton Landing Park and the new Bridge across the Railway will link it to the shops on Bay Street and the Zuckermann trail to the Bay Bridge.

Horton Landing Park

Highlight • Rest Area

/
The City of Emeryville will be constructing a new South Bayfront Bridge over Union Pacific Railroad tracks for pedestrians and bicyclists and a new linear park, Horton Landing Park between January 7, 2020 and around October 2021.
The South Bayfront Bridge will connect Ohlone Way and the Bay Street area with Horton Street across the tracks. The bridge will span 227 feet and pass over Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way.
The new Horton Landing Park will be built on the east side of the train tracks. It will be a new addition to the Emeryville Greenway. Pathways in the park will connect the bridge to adjacent streets at Horton just south of 53rd St. and near Stanford Ave. The greenway within Horton Landing Park will connect to a future greenway that extends southward to Sherwin near Halleck St.

Start of Horton-Overland Bike Boulevard 🚴 Emeryville

Highlight • Cycleway

Emeryville and Berkeley have marked and signposted a dense network of bicycle boulevards on existing residential neighborhood streets, which are already quiet and have been further calmed with speed humps and narrowed by painted-on bike lanes. Horton-Overland continues straight to the Emeryville Amtrac Train Station. However, an even better route for north-south travel begins just a couple of blocks north off the Horton Bike Boulevard, turning diagonal north-east onto the old railroad right of way.

Treasure Island - San Francisco Skyline Vista Point

Highlight • Viewpoint

Treasure Island is a man-made island. Built from 1936–1937 and completed in 1939 for the Golden Gate International Exposition World’s Fair. Raised walkways go around almost the entire island along five streets. Today, the island has about 2,000 residents, an extensive grocery store, and a few wineries.

Summit of Yerba Buena Island

Highlight • Summit

For a few years while the roads accessing the Treasure Island residential housing development are being rebuilt, this steep hill will be part of the only bike route connecting Treasure Island and its SF Muni bus & Ferry stop with the bike trail to the East Bay. At least it offers an elevated panoramic view of the island. Beware: due to construction activities the trail access may only be open on weekends!
