| Map of the Hayward Fault in the Monclair Village area Click here to continue the image tour, or click on map cameras to see selected photographs. 
What to look for: Monclair Village straddles the Hayward Fault along the (appropriately numbered) California Highway 13 that runs down the Hayward Fault rift valley north of Berkeley. The streets display and sidewalks display evidence of subtle creep along the fault. The Monclair Recreation Center, a small park on the north side of downtown, has offset stonewalls next to a modified sag pond formed by the fault. The village has a small-town feel and is a pleasant destination for a field trip (you can dine in restaurants right on the fault!). The Monclair Village area was unsettled at the time of the 1868 earthquake.Access Options  BART: Monclair Village is accessible by bus service from the Rockridge BART Station. Slightly more distance bus service to Monclair Village is provided from the Oakland City Center/12th Street BART Station.  AC Transit: The AC Transit line #59 and 59A begins at the Rockridge BART station and provides service to both Lake Temescal (Berkeley field trip area) and Monclair Village. AC Transit line #15 provides service to Monclair Village from the Oakland City Center/12th Street BART Station (see www.511.org for details of bus schedules).  Bike: Monclair Village is about a three-mile bicycle ride (one way) from the Rockridge BART Station but could include a visit to the Lake Temescal area (see Chapter 5).  Hike and wheelchair access: From Monclair Village it is a short and easy walk to examine evidence of the fault between the intersection of Moraga Avenue and Mountain Boulevard and the pond area in Monclair Recreation Center.   Car: Monclair Village is accessible from Highway 13 at the Moraga Exit about two miles south of the interchange with Highway 24. |
