Get Wet and Wild on the Bay Area’s Newest Trail
First there was the Bay Trail and the Ridge Trail. And now there’s a third regional network in development to explore the Bay Area via nonmotorized means: the San Francisco Bay Area Water Trail. The series of five (plus more to come!) launching and landing points give boaters and windsurfers easy access to the Bay. Designated Water Trail sites include the Tidewater Boating Center on the Oakland Estuary and Ayala Cove on Angel Island. State Coastal Conservancy grants will allow the Association of Bay Area Governments to continue to add and improve launching and landing sites. |
The sleek white East Span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge pops against the classic Clipper© blue background on the transit card’s latest edition. Keep an eye out for the special commemorative cards, which have started showing up at retailers — including the Bay Crossings store in the San Francisco Ferry Building and the Clipper kiosk at the Embarcadero BART station — and online just in time to stuff stockings. |
511 has launched a new Smart Driving pilot program — and you may be eligible to participate. Drivers who commute by car in the Bay Area and use an Android smartphone with a data plan can sign up to test out apps aimed at improving driving habits and fuel efficiency. The first 250 applicants to qualify will receive a $40 bonus gift card. More info on eligibility and the application process can be viewed here.
