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.
