Lake Merritt Makeover
It was a 12-lane expressway not long ago; now, the southern shore of Lake Merritt is the perfect place for a picnic or a stroll.
The recently completed Lake Merritt Boulevard, just a few blocks from the headquarters of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), serves as the newest symbol of the ongoing transformation of the “jewel of Oakland."
