DESIGN GUIDELINES


Designed to be elegant and timeless, the Lake Merritt to Bay Trail Bridge has the potential to become an iconic feature of the emerging Oakland Estuary landscape. The gently arcing forms of the Bridge will recall Oakland’s important boating history, and its modest and sinuous profile nestles neatly into the surrounding fabric of buildings and infrastructure. 

    The Design Guidelines document serves three purposes:

    1. Creates project-specific design requirements and objectives from constraints established by codes, regulations, project stakeholders, and community priorities; 
    2. Establishes clear criteria for assessing design solution priorities; and
    3. Confirms stakeholder’s requirements and informs the public of how specific design criteria shape the project.
