Group Ride to the I-80 at Gilman Bike/Walk Bridge & Roundabouts Ribbon Cutting @ northeast corner of Marin & Ohlone Greenway
Apr 28 @ 10:30 am – 12:00 pm

Help celebrate the many years of planning that went into the Gilman Interchange Project at the Ribbon Cutting! This event will celebrate the collaboration between the City of Albany, City of Berkeley, Alameda County Transportation Commission, and Caltrans. AS&R helped expand the scope of the project to include the construction of a low-stress, all ages and abilities connection from the Codornices Creek Trail to the new active transportation bridge. This created the lowest stress connection between the Ohlone Greenway and the Bay Trail anywhere along their length. We’ll ride along this new route, stopping at times to admire the details. Ride starts in Albany at 10:30 am. Ribbon Cutting is at the west side of the interchange at 11 am. Register for the Ribbon Cutting here.

This will be an all ages and abilities group ride with support from the AS&R Core Group. Kids welcome, but bikes with training wheels are not recommended.

Yes, it’s a Monday, but take a couple hours off and celebrate as we lead into May: Bike Month!

Ride Plan:

  • Meet-up at the NE corner of Marin at Masonic, on the Ohlone Greenway,
  • 10:30 am: head south on the Greenway for one block,
  • Turn right onto Dartmouth,
  • Cross San Pablo at the High Visibility signal,
  • Make a quick left then right onto the Codornices Creek Path west towards 10th Street,
  • Continue on the Codornices Creek Pathway to 5th Street,
  • Turn left onto 5th to Harrison (past the skate park),
  • Turn right on Harrison to 4th (past the soccer fields),
  • Turn left on 4th to Gilman,
  • Cross Gilman and turn right onto the protected cycletrack on the far side,
  • Ride it three blocks to the bridge,
  • Go over the freeway on the bridge,
  • Turn right off the bridge onto the Bay Trail,
  • Ride around the corner to the 11 am ribbon cutting, all the way to the interchange!
  • Some bike parking is available in the field’s parking lot, or keep your bike with you.
  • Now you know the route! Return is on your own or with those you met on the ride.
