love our lake day

Sunday was Love Our Lake Day celebrating the (almost) completion of the renovation of the Lake Merritt area thanks to citizens' support of a bond issue several years ago.  The big deal is the reconfiguration of the the roadway west of the lake and the upgrading of the flow of water between the lake and the estuary.  There was entertainment around the 3 mile circumference of the lake, streets were closed to bring out bicycles, and a dedication ceremony.  Tons of people showed up.  More photos to follow.
