On January 10, 2019, Richmond continued its tradition of being an innovative transportation hub by launching a new ferry route between the San Francisco Ferry Terminal and the newly constructed ferry terminal at Richmond’s Ford Peninsula, in collaboration with the San Francisco Bay Area Water Emergency Transportation Authority (WETA).

To commemorate the first day of ferry service between Richmond and the San Francisco Ferry Building, nearly one thousand community members attended the City of Richmond and WETA launch event. There was a speaking program with local officials followed by a ribbon cutting ceremony. The event included free short rides on a San Francisco Bay Ferry vessel around the Richmond harbor. Music was provided by the Richmond High School Marching Band and Orchestra. Special guests included real-life "Rosies" coordinated through the nearby Rosie the Riveter/World War II Homefront National Historical Park. Some of the Rosies had taken the original Richmond Ferry to and from work at the Richmond shipyard.

Ferry Fare: A one-way, adult fare is $9, or $6.75 with a Clipper card. Youth between the ages of 5 and 18, seniors aged 65 and over, and disabled passengers pay $4.50. Kids under 5 years old are free.
Parking: There is free parking with 362 spaces.

Public Transit: AC Transit’s 74 bus stops in front of the ferry terminal and Richmond BART station. The 74 bus runs every half-hour, arriving approximately 10 minutes before the ferry departs. The travel time between the Richmond BART station and the ferry terminal is roughly 10 minutes.  There’s a $2.25 discount for riders who take the bus to and/or from the ferry.

Biking: The SF Bay Trail connects to the ferry terminal. Standard bike racks and BikeLink lockers are available at the terminal. In addition, there are at least 20 spots for bikes on the ferry.

Richmond Hosts January Water Emergency Transportation Authority (WETA) Board Meeting

The WETA Board held their January 10, 2019 meeting in Richmond at the Craneway Conference Center. WETA is the regional public transit agency which operates six ferry routes including the Richmond to San Francisco ferry. The board meeting agenda included project construction related items and an overview of their small vessel exploratory study which may lead to the development of additional ferry routes and expanded service to existing terminals including Richmond’s.

Mayor Tom Butt and Councilmember Demnlus Johnson attended the meeting and addressed the board along with Economic Development Commissioners Burgundie Spears and Brandon Evans. Various representatives from local businesses and organizations were also present and shared their support and enthusiasm for the Richmond ferry service with the WETA Board of Directors and staff.

Law Enforcement Appreciation Day

On January 6th, RPD remembered the fallen, paid homage to those who have served, and supported the brave women and men in uniform serving today. Members of the community showed their support and dropped off cookies for officers.

RPD Extends a Special Thank You!

The Richmond Police Department would like to take the time to thank two very important people for everything they do for the City of Richmond. Michelle Milam and Mandy Swirsding are RPD’s Crime Prevention Specialists and we want to extend our appreciation for the hard work and dedication exhibited by these two.

Michelle and Mandy work diligently with members in the community on an everyday basis and provide excellent customer service. Just to name a few of their daily tasks, they consistently educate the community on different crime trends, provide preventive methods, manage and volunteer at numerous events, work with youth, and establish crime watch groups throughout the city.

Michelle and Mandy, you are truly an inspiration to the team and a crucial element in achieving the mission and vision of RPD.

10. Office of Neighborhood Safety (ONS)

An ONS staff member and one ONS Operation Peacemaker Fellow (OPF) participant attended The Landmark Forum and Advance Forum Trainings (an interpersonal and professional development program) in San Francisco, CA.  Both trainings take place over three consecutive days and one evening, and are based on the model of transformative learning, which gives individuals awareness in how they think and act. Through this awareness comes a shift in thinking that leaves individuals mindful of new possibilities. Individuals are able to think and act beyond existing views and limits.

11. Planning & Building Services

New ADA Law Effective January 1, 2019: AB 3002 (Grayson)
Effective January 1, 2019, last year’s AB 3002 requires local jurisdictions issuing building permits for commercial construction, or business licenses, to make available a notice containing specified information regarding disability access.
The notice is intended to provide access information and resources to business license and commercial building permit applicants to assist them in achieving and maintaining compliance with disability access.
Under federal and state law, compliance with disability access laws is a serious and significant responsibility that applies to all California building owners and tenants with buildings open to the public. Compliance with state and federal construction-related accessibility standards ensures that public places are accessible and available to individuals with disabilities. Although a facility may have been permitted and approved by the building department, it is important for a business to obtain Certified Access Specialist inspection services after move-in because unintended access barriers and violations can be created, for example, placing furniture and equipment in areas required to be maintained clear of obstructions.
Notices are currently available at the Building Division counter and also the Building Division webpage at the following link: Disability Access Requirements and Resources.
In compliance with AB 3002, notice translations are currently being developed in Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, Vietnamese, and Korean. These are anticipated to be available soon once developed by the Division of the State Architect.

12. Police Department
2019 Patrol Deployment

Prior to the start of the New Year, Chief Brown solicited input from officers and sergeants on ideas for a new patrol deployment. The Richmond Police Officer Association (RPOA) board convened a scheduling committee and presented the idea of the 11/80 schedule. Based on positive feedback from RPOA members and the RPD management team, Chief Brown instituted the 2019 patrol shift under the 11/80 model.

This new shift allows more management oversight. There is a lieutenant on duty every day from 6:00 AM until 1:00 AM. During the 5 hour gap, between 1:00 AM and 5:59 AM, there will be two sergeants on duty and one lieutenant on-call for management needs when necessary.

This new shift model has been successful and welcomed by rank and file thus far.

Celebratory Gunfire

RPD was able to identify several areas that were likely to see celebratory gunfire during New Year’s Eve celebrations. A specialized operations plan was developed and officers were deployed into the areas to suppress gunfire. The operation was successful as celebratory gunfire was reduced from past years.

Officers in Action

Richmond Officers assist California Highway Patrol (CHP) with a traffic enforcement stop of a vehicle traveling over 110 MPH. A search of the vehicle yielded a loaded Glock 19 with an additional high capacity magazine. A CHP helicopter captured the speeding vehicle on I-80.

Right Place at the Right Time

Officer Wentz and Officer Alvarado recently arrested a suspect with a loaded firearm. These officers responded to the area of S 17th Street and Virginia Avenue to a call about a residential burglary in progress. The victim advised the suspect fled in a black Dodge Durango with paper plates.

Officer Alvarado conducted a traffic enforcement stop on a matching vehicle nearby. A search of the driver and lone occupant rendered a loaded Glock 22 semi-automatic pistol located in the driver’s waistband. The driver/suspect was the ex-boyfriend of the victim.

Farewell to a Hero

Members of the RPD Honor Guard attended the funeral of Corporal Ronil Singh of Newman Police Department. Many agencies throughout the nation were also in attendance to express their condolences and stand in support of the Newman Police Department. 

Homeless Outreach Collaboration

Richmond Police Department was approved by the City Council to begin a Richmond/San Pablo Coordinated Outreach Referral Engagement (CORE) Team. A two unit team of homeless outreach workers will be established in Richmond/San Pablo to assist with providing services, case management, shelter and housing placement, personal care, health and mental health referral services to unsheltered residents.

The CORE program will work collaboratively in small teams to engage and stabilize homeless individuals living outside to identify plans to end their homelessness permanently.  The CORE Outreach Specialist is responsible for street outreach efforts which include building trust with individuals and families that are not being served or are underserved by existing community service delivery systems. The Outreach Specialist works collaboratively to locate, engage, stabilize and house chronically homeless individuals and families. The CORE Outreach Specialist plays a key role among a multidisciplinary team which serves to support and stabilize individuals moving from street to service.

Cutting/Carlson & Hoffman Wet Weather Improvement Projects

On October 1, 2018, construction began on the pipeline replacement projects at Cutting/Carlson & Hoffman Boulevards in the City of Richmond.  These $8.8 million projects will replace 4.5 miles of aging and damaged sewer pipe and are expected to be completed in September 2019.

This project replaces collector sewer pipelines in neighborhoods upstream of the Cutting Blvd., First Street, and 23rd Street Interceptors, in order to reduce inflow and infiltration and associated surcharging and sanitary sewer overflows (SSO’s). The Contractor, WR Forde, has three crews going to accomplish the project work.
