- (Best viewed in the HD setting and full screen) This is the final version of the time-lapse that captures the construction work of The City of Oakland (California) Measure DD, 12th Street Reconstruction Project, photos taken between January 10, 2011 and November 21, 2012. 911 individual photos created this time-lapse. Taken from Erik's former 11th floor balcony at 1200 Lakeshore Ave., Oakland, CA. The project relocates and narrows a roadway to create a new shoreline park, and daylights the waterway connecting to San Francisco Bay, providing improved water quality and wildlife habitat at Lake Merritt. Funding is provided by the City of Oakland, State Coastal Conservancy, and the Federal Highway Administration. Time-lapse photography by Erik Niemann, Oakland, California, United States.

Wish there was a way to slow this down. My mind can't process images at this speed.
What a big missed opportunity that the city didn't build a protected bike lane here. Millions of dollars spent on building a wide, dangerous road with *six* lanes for cars and just a narrow bike lane next to speeding traffic. Sad.
Great video!
Did you mount a camera on the roof deck?
Being unfamiliar with the project, what was the reason for the reconstruction?
Jackie Phillips The roadway was built in the mid 1950s, it was over ten lanes wide in a very short area; the roadway and infrastructure was in poor condition and the tidal water that came in and out of Lake Merritt went in an underground concrete culvert. So it was best to open up the water to the fresh air, and create a park and fewer lanes of traffic. A very successful project. The community is very happy with it.
Now can we please catch the jerks with cans of spray paint?
