  • Mandates consideration of adding a movable "zipper" barrier to the eastbound level of the bridge to maintain a continuous bicycle and pedestrian lane and San Francisco Bay Trail.

  • Requires operation of moveable "zipper" barriers on both bridge levels to optimize traffic flow in either direction while preserving bicycle and pedestrian access and the Bay Trail.

  • Establishes legislative findings that approximately 18,000 daily commuters cross the bridge (63% people of color, 60% earning below median income), facing 16 minutes of added gridlock during peak hours that contributes to air pollution in Richmond's disadvantaged communities.
