Albany Waterfront - Let It Be!
We urge the Eastshore State Park planners, all concerned city council members, state legislators and decision makers in the California State Park system to leave the Albany Waterfront just as it is.
Any "development" - playing fields, more parking/paving, motor vehicle access to the bulb, removal of artwork or exposed construction debris from the underlying landfill or plantings - will disrupt the miracle of natural reclamation in progress.
This open space is used by widely diverse users, where plants, birds and wildlife thrive in coexistence with off-leash dogs and their owners (both able and disabled), children at play or on school fieldtrips, birders, hikers, fishermen, artists and many others. It is unique in the entire San Francisco Bay Area, and its community of caring users shows the best in the values of the East Bay people. Let it be!

We love this dog beach. My old dog has arthritis and this is the easiest place for him to reach the water.

Why does the Bulb need "improving?" There is nothing wrong with the way it is now. It is accesible, open to all for a variety of uses, it is cheap to maintain and cheaper to visit. There is no conflict among users now. Hikers, artists, dogs all co-exi

This is a wonderful, safe place for women, children and families to enjoy the outdoors and the bay. It is safe because of the presence of dog walkers at all times of the day.
