The City of Oakland's Local Street Network Planning process is nearing completion. Between the Project Advisory Committee, Citizen Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, City Council and the an Open House there have been eight meetings held over the last year to discuss Oakland's transportation future. Feedback from our February, 2015 meetings has been assembled in this summary (which includes the actual maps and public and committee comments as an attachment). The following reports (under Task 4) are also helpful in understanding how feedback has and will inform the final "Plan."

There are only a few meetings left. One of those will be a public hearing before the Oakland City Council to adopt the Local Street Network Plan. This will likely take place in June and will be announced soon.  The project team will be spending May assembling the materials and work that has been done by the community into a final plan document.


Of note are a few related grants that the City has secured or is pursuing: These include:

• TGM Code Assistance: The City secured this grant as an opportunity dovetailing with the Local Street Network Plan project. The grant will provide technical assistance and provide the City the necessary resources to implement code changes related to the Local Street Network Plan in a manner that will provide broader consistency and relevance. 

• TGM Land Use and Transportation Grant: With ODOT's encouragement, the City has determined pursue additional TGM funds to develop an implementation strategy to further pursue the idea of a local multi-use path system, which was a highly supported project that emerged from the Local Street Plan Process.

After a year of dedicated work by the Oakland Local Street Network Plan Project Team, Citizen's Advisory Committee, Project Advisory Committee, Oakland Planning Commission, Oakland City Council and numerous other engaged residents and staff, the Draft Local Street Network Plan is ready for review.

The Plan is organized into three volumes
Volumes I & II: Projects/Policies and Data (13.6 MB pdf)
Volume III: Supporting Documents (Appendices) (25.8 MB pdf)

Winter and Spring, 2016: Proposed Changes to Oakland Development Ordinances

Thursday, July 2, 2015

1. TGM Code Assistance Grant  (Over $25,000 in two phases): The objective of Code Assistance is to investigate and implement code changes that support TGM objectives and smart development practices in follow up to the Local Street Network Plan.

2. Oakland Multi-Use Path Implementation Strategy (Approximately $50,000): This project carries forward a high priority project identified in the Local Street Network Plan.  The proposed multi-use path (Path) will provide a convenient, non-automobile transportation alternative for local trips within the community. The Multi-Use Path Implementation Strategy (MPS) will identify access points, preferred alignments, key road crossing options, Path standards, design elements, regulatory requirements, preliminary cost estimates, and potential sources of funding while ensuring compliance with local standards.
