The city will repurpose the existing right-of-way along Sunset Avenue to create 2,000 feet of bicycle and pedestrian trail. It will connect existing parks and trails to create recreational loops in the downtown area and nonmotorized access to the ferry, transit, waterfront parks, dining and shopping.
