Alameda, CA 94501For Public Transportation: Check http://www.511.org.
Directions from Webster Tube Tunnel, Webster Street, Alameda, CA:
If you are coming from outside of Alameda, enter Alameda via the Webster Street tube, stay straight and in the right lane (do not follow the ramp on the left). The second signal you come to will be Atlantic Avenue at Webster Street. The College of Alameda will be on your right (NW corner). Turn at the Webster Street/W Atlantic intersection onto W Atlantic (heading west). This will be a right turn from the tube. Follow Atlantic until you reach Main Street. Cross this intersection. Proceed through this gateway. You will see an island of lawn with a mounted jet as you enter Alameda Point. Drive around the north side of this island and continue straight (westward) until you are at the road’s end. You should see a body of water (Seaplane Lagoon) in front and left of you and to the far left you will see the ship repair docks. Make a right turn (north) onto Ferry Point and continue until the road curves around westward again. The road will now be called W Tower Avenue. Follow W. Tower to Monarch St. Make a right turn (north) and drive past hanger 24 where American Coach facilities and Rock Wall Wineries are located. The next structure will be hanger 23. You will drive a bit further and make a left turn between hanger 23 and 22. At this point the gate should be visible and there will be someone there to greet you. The numbers for hanger 23 and 22 are black and smallish. They are on the sides and back of the buildings, but not the front. I wouldn’t worry about the hanger numbers too much. Just wind your way as far west as you can at this point and you will find us at the fence line. Our gate is between hanger 23 and 22. Someone will be there to greet you.
If you have trouble finding the meeting spot and have a cell phone you can call Leora at: 510-852-5466. We’ll guide you or come find you.
