Albany Bulb

Ron Rothbart is leading a photowalk sponsored by the Sierra Club at Albany Bulb Nov. 7, 2010.

Anyone is welcome. Ron Rothbart gives  the description from the Sierra Club activities calendar:

Nov 7 · Sun · 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm · Hiking Section
Albany Bulb Sunset Photowalk 1A Hike. Stroll and take pictures in a unique environment, an anarchic amalgam of landfill, plant and animal life, guerrilla art, dog park, Bay views, and homeless encampment. The time changes today, giving us a 5 pm sunset. Cancellation: Any rain cancels. Bring: camera, liquid, boots or sturdy shoes, and flashlight. Meet: near the bathroom at the entrance to the park. Directions: Take the Buchanan Exit off highway 80 in Albany. Go left (west) on Buchanan to the end of the road. To avoid a 2-hour parking limit, park along the side of the road before the second “Albany Bayfront Trail” sign. Leader: Ron Rothbart – Flicker Photos

The city committee on the waterfront is one step closer to creating rules for the Bulb after a unanimous vote Monday night. Committee Meeting Minutes

“Essentially, dogs would have to be on-leash up through the parking lot, beach and neck, according to the proposed policy. Starting just west of the neck, on the piece of land known as the Bulb, owners and walkers could shift to a voice command system.

A motion about the draft policy included the creation of a two-page map to define the leash regulations for dogs on the waterfront; the requirement that walkers carry a dog walker permit either from the city or from the East Bay Regional Park District; and that dogs declared “vicious and dangerous” would be banned from the area; that there will be a clearly defined off-leash area on the Bulb.”  Emilie Raguso/Albany Patch
