Livable Berkeley's Twelve Goals for Downtown

Stimulated by recent UC Berkeley intentions to develop additional projects on land between Oxford Street and Shattuck Avenue, the City of Berkeley has adopted a process which will update the 1990 Downtown Plan to improve its relevance for the decade ahead. The city and UCB have jointly engaged a professional planner to coordinate this effort, and the city has established a citizens' committee, the Downtown Area Plan Advisory Committee or DAPAC, to produce recommendations in 2007.

Livable Berkeley has three members on the DAPAC and isactively involved in this effort. In early 2006, we adopted "Twelve Goals for Downtown Berkeley," a document whose values we are asking the city to adopt to guide the new downtown plan. Those twelve goals appear below. Look at the "Previous Posts" section to the lower right of this page to see an index of the goals, and click to go to any one of them.

We welcome and encourage comments and discussion on any of these goals. Please add your input by clicking on the COMMENTS button below any post in the list and typing into the popup field. You can be anonymous if you wish.
