About

Oakland residents and visitors use 27th Street, Bay Place, Harrison Street, and Grand Avenue to travel to Lake Merritt, grocery stores, places of worship, and more. Residents here commute by biking, walking, and public transit more often than other Oaklanders. 15% of residents in the area walk or bike to work, and 34% take transit.

The Lakeside Family Streets Project (Harrison between 20th St. and Bay Place, and Grand Ave between Harrison and Bay Place) includes:

• A two-way cycle track on Harrison from 21st to Grand (East side), and on Grand Avenue between Harrison Street and Bay Place (south side), extending the two-way cycletrack around the Lake from Lakeside Dr/Madison St to Grand/Bay.
• Separated bike lane on Northbound Harrison Street
• Separated bike lane on Grand Ave between Bay and Harrison (north side)
• Protected intersection at Harrison/Grand

UPDATE APRIL 2026:
