TRAC, the Trails for Richmond Action Committee, just released their New Year Report. This 14th annual report highlights 2012 achievements and describes plans for completing the San Francisco Bay Trail in Richmond. 2012 was marked by solid progress across all phases of work required to close gaps. This included obtaining trail easements, planning alignments, preparing environmental impact reports, designing trail sections, building new trails and celebrating their completion. Last but not least, $2,074,000 in new funding was obtained during 2012 to conduct the above work. The focus during 2013 will be closing the 10.8 miles of gaps remaining on the Ferry Point Loop, around Point Pinole Regional Shoreline and between the Plunge & Point San Pablo.
