Fernside Blvd, Fernside

Fernside connects the Bay Farm Island Bridge to Bay Farm Island and the Oakland Airport with the Fruitvale Bridge to Oakland. Since it is the fastest way to get off the island from Bay Farm, and runs past a Middle School, it can be somewhat heavily trafficked during rush hour. Speeding is sometimes also a problem, though Alameda cops are known to patrol heavily and strictly enforce the 25 mile per hour speed limit.

The street itself has great houses and provides close access to services, especially at the Fruitvale end as it connects to the newly built Nob Hill Shopping Center. It also runs past Lincoln Park and Lincoln Middle School, providing great access to receration. Some of the houses near the High Street Bridge also have water access to the estuary, which could be a great plus if you are nautically minded.

Overall a great street in a great town.
