Protest Luxury Housing Development: October 24, 11am

Our neighbors at Rockridge Neighbors for Sensible Housing are working hard to negotiate changes to the development proposal at the former Red Cross blood bank site at College and Claremont.

We support their legitimate right to protest inappropriate changes to the neighborhood and the state laws that take away all zoning powers from cities. The laws they are opposing are the same that another developer is using to justify building 26-story and 23-story towers at Trader Joe’s site. 

PLEASE JOIN THEM IN THEIR PROTEST AT THE CORNER OF CLAREMONT AND COLLEGE AVE, ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24th, AT 11:00am. CLICK HERE to RSVP.

Rockridge Trapezoid Community Traffic Discussion

When: Monday, October 26, at 6:30 p.m.
Where: College Avenue Presbyterian Church, 5951 College Ave.

Join your neighbors Alden Conner, Buffy Wicks, Harley Goldstrom, Jane Brunner, Jeremiah Williams, Julian McCarty, Kristi McKenney, Neil Perry, Star Lightner, Tanya Cope, Tegan Hoffmann, and Tripper Ortman for a community discussion about vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian traffic in the Rockridge Trapezoid—the neighborhood bounded by Alcatraz, College, Telegraph and Claremont.

Organized by neighbors from both sides of the diverter debate, the meeting will focus on sharing experiences, identifying traffic concerns and exploring solutions that don’t shift problems to other streets.

The agenda includes a welcome, defining the problems to address, discussion and next steps. All neighbors are welcome.
