On Tuesday, March 15th the Oakland City Council will vote on applying for an alternatives analysis grant for a streetcar linking Jack London Square, Downtown, Uptown, and MacArthur BART via Broadway.

Come show support for the project at the City Council meeting at 5:15pm, and stay updated on the project via the Oakland Streetcar website!
