Thursday, June 18, 6:30pm–7:30pm
Although this meeting is formally scheduled around site design and tree removal requirements, City planning staff will be there, and the agenda is open for us to discuss the broader project. This is our primary evening opportunity to show up and make our voices heard.
If you work during the day or have family commitments that keep you from afternoon city hearings, this evening meeting is your moment to stand up and support your neighbors. We truly need everyone there—from our long-time residents to local families and younger neighbors. A full room shows the city that we are a unified, deeply invested community.
Thursday, June 18
6:30 PM – 7:30 PM
Rockridge Branch of the Oakland Public Library
5366 College Avenue
The meeting is only one hour long, so it’s imperative that we are organized, focused, and present in large numbers to ensure our shared priorities are addressed:
- Traffic & Operations: Discussing delivery logistics, safety, and service management on Florio Street
- Design & Scale: Advocating for lower height, code-compliant setbacks, and meaningful step-backs to reduce how this invasive, massive structure will impact the community.
- Landscape & Trees: Ensuring that no tree-cutting permits are issued prematurely before the entire development is fully approved and construction is actually ready to begin
Please RSVP to Torygriffith@gmail.com. Let us know if you can make it so we can keep you updated on any last-minute changes and share tailored talking points to help you prep your questions.
