  • Bart goes underground halfway through the port

  • If Bart is underground beforehand, along 7th St, West Oakland won’t be bisected by a major arterial above ground rail

  • This will also add more opportunity for public space in the port of oakland

7th STREET

Suggestions:​

​

  • Create a public park/green space along the 7th street corridor leading into West Oakland

  • This will result in a more malleable interface between the port and surrounding community

  • Potentially increase safety in otherwise abandoned industrial areas

  • Improve air quality through air filtration and surface area for PM settling

  • Increase vegetation for climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration

  • Allow for a walkable route to Middle Harbor Shoreline Park
