CITY flF SAN LEANDRa <br />STAFF REPORT <br />Da#e: March 18, 2010 <br />To: Stephen L. Hollister, City Manager J~~ <br />From: Lianne Marshall, Assistant City Manager <br />By: Kathy Ornelas, Community Relations Representative ~~ <br />Subject: NAMING OF BAY TRAIL SLOUGH BRIDGE IN HONOR OF BILL <br />LOCKYER <br />SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION <br />This report is intended as information for discussion at the City Council Rules and <br />Communications Committee on March 23. <br />It is recommended that the City Council consider naming the Bay Trail Slough Bridge the "Bill <br />Lockyer Bay Trail Bridge" in recognition of Mr. Lockyer's vision and commitment to seeing a <br />hiking and bicycling "ring around the bay" trail to encircle San Francisco and San Pablo Bays. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The Bay Trail Slough Bridge project will soon be completed. This bridge will close a critical <br />gap in the east bay region of the San Francisco Bay Trail. For San Leandro's part, the Bay Trail <br />runs along the northern perimeter of Oyster Bay Regional Park, sweeping west along the <br />waterfront to Neptune Drive. From Neptune Drive, the trail continues south past the San <br />Leandro Shoreline and Marina and beyond to the San Mateo Bridge. The Bay Trail Slough <br />Bridge will provide a vital link in the trail between Berkeley and Hayward. <br />The San Francisco Bay Trail got its beginnings in 1987 when then-State Senator Bill Lockyer <br />(now State Treasurer) conceived of the plan and authored Senate Bill 100, authorizing the <br />Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) to "develop and adopt a plan...for a continuous <br />recreational corridor which will extend around the perimeter of San Francisco and San Pablo <br />----------bays:" ------- . - - - .___._ __ _. __ - __---- __---------------------- <br />The Bay Trail Plan was developed over atwo-year period by an advisory committee to ABAG <br />that included representatives from federal, state, regional and local government agencies, <br />environmental and recreational organizations, and others. The Plan was adopted by ABAG in <br />July 1989, giving a high priority to a link between San Leandro's trail and Port of Oakland <br />property. <br />
