Encouraging cleaner, safer transportation options for our neighborhood
How do we create a livable, walkable neighborhood where people can move freely and safely throughout West Oakland? To get there, we need to mitigate the outsized impact of so many freeways and industrial corridors by:
- Improving the design and safety of local streets.
- Building better pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure.
- Incentivizing cleaner transportation alternatives for residents and workers.
