Richmond Greenway

[1] It runs along what was formerly the right-of-way of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway parallel to Ohio Avenue, between the end of the Ohlone Greenway adjacent to the intersection of Macdonald and San Pablo Avenues, and Point Richmond.

[1] There is a connector from the trail to the Macdonald 80 Shopping Center in the North & East neighborhood.

[2] Beginning in 1904, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway lines carried freight through the city of Richmond.

"[4] During the late 1960s Richmond resident Lillie Mae Jones became a Greenway activist, working to turn the right of way of the former Santa Fe Rail Line.

[5] She organized community cleanups, created a garden and an animal farm, and took groups of children to the Greenway to teach them about nature and pollution.
