Solano Ave Tunnel AKA Northbrae Tunnel

When I was a naïve college student, I decided to take a walk instead of taking BART. I started at Shattuck and Dwight, and kept walking on Shattuck until Shattuck turned into Sutter and Sutter ran into a tunnel and became Solano Ave on the other side. And then I kept walking on Solano until I got to San Pablo. And kept walking on San Pablo until I got to the shops (or the sole former Emporium that used to be here, back before El Cerrito Plaza had the plaza it has today.
After walking through the Broadway Tunnel recently, I remembered my walk through here and am glad we don’t have a Broadway Tunnel. Sure, this tunnel is darker. But it’s SHORTER. It’s only about 500 feet, more or less, hardly a tenth of a mile. The Broadway Tunnel, on the other hand, is a third of a mile of sheer pollution.
