The city of Alameda Public Works Department has initiated the
Estuary Crossing Feasibility
Study, a study of alternatives for a new estuary crossing serving
pedestrian, bicycle, and transit traffic. The study is aimed at
both near-term and long-term (10-15 years) goals. Although the
study itself has
 been fully funded, the actual implementation of the
crossing is not yet funded.
The region of the estuary in which crossings are
being considered is shown at right: (click for large view)
