From Sunday at 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Monday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., parts of Lakeshore Avenue and Grand Avenue, as well as all of El Embarcadero, will be closed.
In preparation for the large crowds expected to gather at Lake Merritt over the Fourth of July holiday, the City of Oakland will set up temporary road closures to preserve emergency vehicle access and open up space for pedestrians.
Parking and traffic congestion on Lakeshore Avenue often causes double and triple parking on MacArthur Boulevard to East 18th Avenue, which limits fire trucks and ambulances' abilities to respond to emergencies quickly. "This is often the result of too many cars in too little space; the temporary street closures are established to help deliver any needed emergency services to people at or around the Lake as swiftly as possible," reads a city press release.
