Join the General Plan Community Advisory Subcommittee!

Oakland has launched the General Plan Community Advisory Subcommittee to enhance community engagement in the General Plan Update's second phase. The initiative includes two subcommittees: the Technical Advisory Subcommittee, comprising agencies like BART, and the Community Advisory Subcommittee, which invites all residents to apply. Applications are due by midnight on May 15, emphasizing the city's commitment to diversity and representation. Residents can direct inquiries to generalplan@oaklandca. gov.

This move aims to better reflect the identities and experiences of Oaklanders in urban planning processes. Joanna Winter is the contact person for additional information. The General Plan Update seeks to revamp community involvement, making it more inclusive. Interested parties can find further details on the General Plan Update website.
