Pee Tunnel

Ive lived next door, without a car for 3years so the tunnel has affected me greatly.
Keeps me humble

I don’t know if I should give it 1-​star or 5-​stars. No one is willing to walkthrough it for $ 5.00.

Pee tunnel is the only way to get to the best gym in all of Sacramento. It is a «golden gateway» to rock climbing, cross fit, and other amazing workouts. The smell is a small price to pay for such a rewarding payoff.

Zero stars. The lighting in the tunnel is dim-​there are homeless people engaging in recreational drug use inside the tunnel, often sitting on the sidewalk blocking pedestrian access-​the sidewalks regularly are wet from urine and the walls covered in feces. There are pedestrian tunnels on each side of N 16^th Street which are intended for pedestrians/​cyclists to travel under the railroad tracks to/​from the downtown Sacramento area and neither tunnel is safe nor clean. Alternative pedestrian routes are limited to the hobo highway along N 12^th Street or the Bike Trail at 19^th Street (also inhabited with creepy homeless people). Essentially, travel at your own risk-​pepper spray, a large dog or two, and a flashlight are highly recommended. Check Megan’s Law website so you are at least aware of the sex offenders living in the area.

The pee tunnel is disgusting. The people running this city should be ashamed of themselves for looking the other way and allowing the pee tunnel to exist. I work at Pipeworks and regularly have to direct people to the gym via the pee tunnel. Most of these people are visiting from out of town, staying at downtown hotels and have to walk through the pee tunnel to get to Pipeworks. I am embarrassed for us as a city that a visitor has to see that side of where we live. Is the pee tunnel what we want people to think of when they think of Sacramento?

Just your average pedestrian and auto tunnel that smells like pee. I ride my bike fast through the tunnel to avoid the smell.
WHen I was younger, I used to speed through the tunnel and catch air over the hill! Who hasn’t done that. Love that feeling of catching air!!!

What’s long, dark, and stinks? Don’t let your imagination fool you, it’s the hell hole that is the Pee Tunnel. This is the inevitable route when you take 16^th street on your way to Pipeworks on a bike. The foul smell of week old piss is unmistakable. The best you can do is to hold your breath for the duration of the ride and pedal as fast as you can till you see the light at the end of the tunnel.

The previous review is correct that this tunnel is suitably creepy, but any Sacto Urinator worth their salty emiction can’t help but compare this decent-​ish tunnel to the masterpiece along H St. (between Elvas and 57^th!). Now, it’s true: the H St. Pee Tunnel has recently been sullied by the recent light repairs. A historical precedent for a 5-​star local creepy piss tunnels exists and the 16^th and C St tunnel ain’t quite there. 3 stars, y’all.

This tunnel puts all other pee-​tunnels to SHAME. As a resident from Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco, this tunnel has the finest urine around. And when I say finest I mean «creepy rape vibe.» I can’t believe the city has a park near this tunnel. Seriously, if you don’t have to, don’t ride through the tunnel. But it’s one of the few ways to get to Pipeworks so you have to ride through it.
