Ravenswood Bay Trail Connection

Ravenswood Bay Trail Connection

The project is the construction of a new 3,000 ft long, 8- to 14-ft wide Bay Trail connection from University Avenue to the MROSD Ravenswood Open Space Preserve (west to east). The project would include the transfer of a public trail easement from SFPUC to MROSD to stripe the trail on an approximately 1,400 ft long portion of an existing SFPUC Service Rd. The rest of the trail alignment would be constructed through grassland where it would connect to a new 80- to 120-ft long single span bridge that would cross over an existing seasonal pond and wetland. The trail would then extend about 260 ft to a new 520 ft long raised boardwalk-type trail where it would connect to the existing unpaved multi-use SF Bay Trail within the OSP. The project may also include a 230 ft long bridge over an existing wetland at the western end of the project alignment.
