Bay Street is Emeryville’s new downtown featuring a variety of shops, restaurants and a movie complex. Due to the high water table, the revitalized streetscape was limited to large planters with street trees, punctuated with smaller pots. Accent paving was also used to highlight intersections and plazas. In the midst of this commercial row is the Bay Street Memorial at the Temescal Creek, a historic interpretive space that relates the life of Ohlone Indians that used to inhabit the area.
