|
In 1998, Oakland adopted a new General Plan with input from 35 volunteer advisory committees, hundreds of people, scores of community meetings, and a General Plan Congress. The General Plan designates Telegraph Avenue as a Regional Transit Street and the general area of the Temescal Commercial District for “Growth and Change,” in order to encourage the kind of development that will create concentrations of mixed use housing, commercial and retail along transit corridors at densities that support commercial services, allow for a range of housing types at a variety of prices, and support transit at levels of service that are actually useable as a true alternative to driving. |
