Kick-Off Meeting

For all Energizer Station Hosts

Returning station host? First time host? Long time, veteran station host? Join us next Thursday, February 6th, for our Bike to Work Day kick-off meeting for Energizer Station hosts.

Share your past work and efforts with others, brainstorm new ideas and activities, and help EBBC make this year’s event better than ever.

What you can expect:

  • A 2013 recap with highlights of innovative stations
  • See the new bag and t-shirt design for 2013
  • Online Energizer Station application launch
  • A review of what EBBC provides for all station hosts
  • Timeline for Bike to Work Day preparation and activities

We’ll go over the different steps to successfully hosting an Energizer Station – from getting on the map to the 2014 bag stuffing details. Swap stories with other Energizer Station hosts about what you do to make Bike to Work Day more fun, and bring feedback and comments as to what we should differently this year!

Your participation helps us get started smoothly for a more efficient and easier Bike to Work Day! Thank you for helping the East Bay Bicycle Coalition encourage tens of thousands of bicyclists to take to the street!

Give your input to improve the Greenway by El Cerrito BART stations!

Give your input to improve the Greenway by El Cerrito BART stations!

Come help our neighbor to the North, El Cerrito, shape its (and your) bicycle and pedestrian future!

The City of El Cerrito is in the process of re-designing the Ohlone Greenway at the El Cerrito Plaza and El Cerrito Del Norte BART station areas.  No doubt, you use the El Cerrito Plaza station and you may cycle or walk in both of those areas.
The primary goals of this project are to:
*Improve bicycle and pedestrian routes to transit, commercial nodes and housing
*Bring new vibrancy to the areas around the BART stations
*Increase safety and accessibility for BART riders and Greenway users
*Improve the integration of the El Cerrito Plaza and El Cerrito del Norte BART Stations with the surrounding community.

On Tuesday November 10 the City of El Cerrito will host a community meeting to review the preferred plan for the Ohlone Greenway at the El Cerrito del Norte and El Cerrito Plaza BART station areas.  This is the last of several outreach efforts to engage the public in the process of re-designing the Ohlone Greenway at two key areas in the City.  At the meeting, community members will have a chance to voice their opinion on the preferred plan to create gateway elements and outdoor gathering spaces around the Greenway and BART stations, improve the mixed-use bicycle and pedestrian path and intersection crossings, and other enhancements.For more info, go here.

Central Ave I-80 Underpass Improvement Community Workshop @ El Cerrito Council Chambers
Jun 7 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Do you bike or walk on Central Avenue under I-80 to reach the places you enjoy?
Would you like to help make it easier and safer to do so?
The Central Avenue / Interstate 80 (I-80) underpass in Richmond leads to a lot of great places—the San Francisco Bay Trail, Point Isabel Dog Park, Costco and the Richmond Marina, to name a few.
CalTrans District 4 wants your ideas on how to transform the underpass into a high-quality pedestrian and bicycle connection!

Current Underpass

Help improve your biking and walking experience in the East Bay!
Join us at the Community Workshop to share ideas on the project design. We will discuss safety features, lighting, wayfinding and other design elements.
