The Bay Bridge is an architectural monument, connecting downtown San Francisco to Oakland across the Bay. Made up of two distinct spans and connecting at Yerba Buena Island, we continue to push for bicycle access across the full length of the bridge.
After years of advocacy, we welcomed the opening of the East Span on September 2, 2013. The new East Span includes a beautiful bicycle and pedestrian path named after a long-time advocate for bicycling, Alexander Zuckermann. In carrying on his legacy, the SF Bicycle Coalition continues to work towards a connection onto the West Span to continue the path all the way to San Francisco.
