East 18th St. Pier Restoration
A Measure DD Project
Project Description
 This
project restored the East 18th Street Pier, part of City of Oakland
Landmark and National Historic Landmark District. Major reconstruction
was required because the engineering
assessment determined that the piers which extend down into in the
Lake bottom were failing and the steps that
originally descended to the water had entirely collapsed. The existing rails and columns on the top of the deck
were salvaged
and reused. The following original historic architectural elements on
the Pier were replicated and installed on the structure:
• Decorative lights, mounted on the four columns on the west side of the
Pier.
• Stairs on the west side of the Pier which descend to the water’s edge.
• A 7-foot high wall on the east side of the pier.
