San Leandro Creek Trail Master Plan <br />4-6 <br />4.1 SEGMENT 1: SAN LEANDRO BAY TO HEGENBERGER <br />ROAD <br />This segment is a part of the existing San Francisco Bay Trail. It starts in <br />Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Park at San Leandro Bay and continues to <br />Hegenberger Road, a major arterial. It is a well used, developed multi-use <br />trail with alignment on both sides of the San Leandro Creek. The two sides are <br />connected with a pedestrian bridge at the mouth of the Bay and provide <br />access to the Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline. Other land uses <br />around this segment are mostly industrial and office type developments. A <br />trailhead is located at the west of Hegenberger Road, on the south side of <br />the San Leandro Creek. The trail is maintained by the East Bay Regional Park <br />District. Oakland International Airport which is a major employer in the region <br />is half a mile south of the trailhead. <br />The trail on the north side of the San Leandro Creek merges into the Elmhurst <br />Creek Trail at the mouth of the bay which further connects to Garretson <br />Point Trail. The south side of the trail loops around the Martin Luther King Jr. <br />Regional Shoreline and connects to the Alameda County Bicycle Route 5, <br />finally terminating at the intersection of Swan Way and Doolittle Drive. There <br />is a viewing platform and picnic benches at the trail end. <br />The condition of the pavement is fairly good on the south side of the San <br />Leandro Creek but has some cracks and shows signs of needing repairs in the <br />north. The San Leandro Creek itself is channelized with grassy vegetation on <br />the banks. <br />FIGURE 4-3: SEGMENT 1 PICTURES <br />52
