Milestone Alert: Progress on the Tennent Avenue/Bay Trail Improvements!
Great news for Pinole’s walkers, cyclists, and trail lovers! The City Council has approved key agreements with Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) — a major milestone for the Tennent Avenue/Bay Trail Gap Closure Project (CIP RO1902).
This long-planned effort will finally close the 600 foot missing link between Bayfront Park, the Bay Trail, and the Pinole Creek Trail. Since 2019, City staff and CSWST2 have worked closely with UPRR to design a safer, modern crossing for the hundreds of people who use the area every day. Thanks to significant funding secured over the years — including $1.45M in STMP funds and $1.02M in OBAG grant funds — the project is now moving into construction.
The improvements will be delivered in two coordinated parts:
Area 1 (UPRR): A fully separated, ADA-compliant Class I crossing with gates, active warning devices, lighting, and fencing — bringing the crossing up to modern rail safety standards.
Area 2 (City): A new sidewalk and bike path, upgraded signage and striping, improved parking layout, and a safer, narrowed intersection at Tennent Ave/Railroad Ave.
Together, these upgrades will close a critical gap in the San Francisco Bay Trail, reduce conflicts between roadway users and rail operations, and improve multimodal connectivity across the region.
More to come as construction gets underway! 🌉🚴♀️🌿
