Point Richmond · Historic downtown business district
Our merchants paid for this parking. Let’s keep it.
In the early 1980s, Point Richmond property owners taxed themselves to build the Railroad Avenue lot. We oppose any loss of parking spaces. We also support safe bike infrastructure that brings riders to local businesses.
Three key facts
- 84spaces built on Railroad Avenue in 1983, paid for by Point Richmond property owners through their own assessment district.
- 29–56Railroad Avenue spaces would be removed under the City’s Ideas A, B and C, and 9 of 13 on Tewksbury Avenue.
- 0spaces lost if the path goes on the railroad land (the City’s Idea E). The project can still be completed.
