community mtg: Lake Merritt Station Area Plan

Greetings!

The City of Oakland ’s Community and Economic Development Agency is excited to invite you to attend an open house for the Lake Merritt Station Area so you can offer your ideas about draft conceptual proposals for the future development of the area. If you live , work , visit , or study in the Planning Area (see map below) , we strongly encourage you to join in the planning process!

We would like to hear your thoughts on draft conceptual proposals for improvements to streets and sidewalks , and land use guidelines for new development in the area within half a mile radius from the Lake Merritt BART Station. The draft concepts are based on an ongoing community process to create a Station Area Plan that will help guide how this area develops into the future.


Lake Merritt Emerging Concepts Open House

Laney College Student Center/Cafeteria
900 Fallon St. ( @9th Street )

Open House: 4:30 pm – 7:30 pm

The meeting is open house format , so you can arrive at any time. There will be various stations with information on the draft concepts. A staff person will be at each station to answer questions and you will be invited to make comments on a feedback form. Light refreshments will be served.

Monday’s open house was inadvertently scheduled on the same day as this year’s Full Moon Festival which is an important cultural event to many in the community. Therefore , if you are unable to attend the open house and want to provide feedback , you will have until the end of the day on Wednesday Sept. 14th to submit your comments. Open house materials will be on display at the Oakland Asian Cultural Center ( 388 9th Street). Email all comments (completed Feedback Forms) to lake_merritt_plan@oaklandnet.com , or deliver in person to the City of Oakland Planning Department , care of Alicia Parker , Planner II , 250 Frank H.
