In all my years in Oakland, I've never walked through the tunnel connecting Lake Merritt to the Oakland Convention Center -- never. I rode my bike through it once about 20 years ago, but that's it. Now, there are reports that a man was recently mugged while walking through it. My late advice is this: don't. You're better off crossing the street than going down there. It's a dangerous place and Oakland Parks and Rec has never done anything about it.
