10,000 Steps Tour #2
Directions to 7th and Franklin
This is part 2 of 2. See part 1 for more information. The estimated distance and time are for this part only.

The 10,000 Steps project explored Oakland’s city squares, past and present. It culminated in a permanent meandering neighborhood narrative, ‘Walking the Invisible City’. This looped walk, marked with permanent conversational sidewalk stepping stones, reveals the city within the city: hidden local lore, architectural and cultural history, and points of urban transformation all centered around these historic parks.
