The Solano Stroll is an annual 1.5 mile block party in North Berkeley and Albany. It attracts thousands and thousands of people the second Sunday in September. Come and join in, but don’t try finding this one during the Stroll.
Even apart from the Stroll, this is a very popular neighborhood shopping area with lots of foot traffic. Best bets are early morning and after dark. On street parking is easier then, too.
Use maximum stealth retrieving and replacing the cache. Make sure that the cache is centered and flush to the surface to prevent moisture from entering. Act naturally busy for the context.
Wheelchair accessible. Public transportation abounds.
