The Richmond-San Rafael Bridge bike and pedestrian path will close Sunday evenings through Thursday mornings beginning in October following a vote by the Bay Area Conservation and Development Commission. This decision marks a significant reduction in public access to the San Francisco Bay, unprecedented in the commission's history. The path was opened in 2019 as part of a pilot program, facilitating connections for cyclists and pedestrians. However, it has faced criticism from commuters due to rising traffic congestion, particularly during morning rush hours.
