If you prefer public
transportation, two major bus routes connecting Downtown Oakland and Berkeley
have stops at Temescal Place, and the Telegraph route runs 24/7. Even better, the bus line on Telegraph
Avenue is being upgraded for increased express bus service beginning in 2006
and is slated for a Bus Rapid Transit line in 2008.

If you prefer to bike, you’ve got
a flat run to all the major employment centers in these areas and can zip to
most places in 15 minutes or less.
And the City is currently doing an Environmental Impact Study for the
