Sector 4- Bay Farm Island
Sector 4 is led by Lieutenant Hoshmand Durani.
Sector 4 consists of the entire Bay Farm Island area. Originally an island in the San Francisco Bay, Bay Farm Island is now a peninsula due to landfill. Bay Farm Island is connected to Oakland and borders the Oakland International Airport. It is largely residential and home to the Chuck Corica Golf Complex, the National Football League’s Oakland Raiders Headquarters, Harbor Bay Club, Alameda Fire Station 4, and many more businesses. There are also three schools and two day care facilities. Bay Farm Island has several lagoons, as well as several community parks, including Shoreline Park which offers beautiful views of the San Francisco skyline and surrounding bay. A green belt also encompasses the entire perimeter of the peninsula.
Bay Farm Island is connected to the main island of Alameda by the Bay Farm Island Bridge, which is the longest draw bridge in the county spanning 1000 feet in length. The Bay Farm Island bicycle and pedestrian bridge runs parallel to the traffic bridge. The draw bridges are operational 365 days a year from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.
