“Walking with neighbors and community members through North Berkeley reminded me of just how special our city’s hidden pathways are. The Berkeley Path Wanderers Association has done such incredible work to preserve and connect these walkways, adding so much character, beauty, and connectivity to our neighborhoods. I’m grateful to them for all their efforts to link our neighborhoods together, make our community more walkable, vibrant, and welcoming for all.”
