Tonight and Next Week: Open Houses on Oakland’s Telegraph Bike Lanes
Oaklanders won't want to forget about the city's open house meetings, starting tonight, on proposals for parking-protected bike lanes on Telegraph Avenue. Show up, learn about the proposed design options, and let city staff know what you think will make this vital commercial corridor safer and more efficient, and livable. There will even be food trucks outside each meeting, in case you get hungry.
Here are the open houses:
- Tonight, 6 p.m. - 8 p.m., at Beebe Memorial Cathedral, 3900 Telegraph.
- Saturday, April 26, 10am - 12pm, at Faith Presbyterian Church, 430 49th Street.
- Next Thursday, May 1, 6 p.m. - 8 p.m., at Humanist Hall, 390 27th Street (accessible entrance at 411 28th Street).
