If you live in or work in or even commute through Downtown Oakland, you’ll want to attend these! This is your chance to weigh in on how Oakland can grow its downtown in a way that benefits us all. A specific plan like this is usually put in place after a year or two of outreach and study sessions just like this, and they stay in place for decades at a time as a tool to guide new development.

Do you want safer bike infrastructure? More housing? Bring back our SROs? A skate park? RSVP now to attend!
