Ohlone Greenway
The Ohlone Greenway is a pedestrian and bicycle path in the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area.
The path is named for the local indigenous people (Ohlone).
It begins in Berkeley just northwest of the North Berkeley BART station and runs northwestward through the cities of Albany, and El Cerrito, terminating at San Pablo Avenue at Baxter Creek in Richmond. For most of its length, the Ohlone Greenway runs along what was formerly a railroad right-of-way, and alongside the elevated tracks of the BART Richmond line. The longer segment from the North Berkeley BART station to Rose Street in north Berkeley was formerly the right-of-way of the Key System's "G" Westbrae line. The segment from Rose to just past the El Cerrito del Norte BART station station was formerly the right-of-way of the Santa Fe Railroad.
Work is underway in 2005-6 to extend the Ohlone Greenway in Berkeley south to University Avenue using another segment of the old Santa Fe right-of-way.
