Connect OAKLAND Details
ConnectOAKLAND IS A VISION TO RECONNECT NEIGHBORHOODS AND CONNECT CITIES. At the heart of vision is the transformation of the I-980 freeway into a multi-modal boulevard that will allow for the reconnection of West Oakland to Downtown, open up new public land for housing, jobs and open space, and will serve as a catalyst for better transportation connections throughout the region. The transformation of I-980 will reintegrate West Oakland and its residents back into the fabric of the City of Oakland and mend an unjust wound that severed - both literally and figuratively – one of Oakland's most historic neighborhoods from the City as a whole. ConnectOAKLAND's goals are to gather community input and explore all ideas and concepts that will help bring this idea to a reality. We strongly believe that this project can be a game-changer for the future of Oakland and the Bay Area.
