BITCOIN CONFERENCE 2024 LOS ANGELES

I have reactivated this site to serve as a clearinghouse for information about city creating a new area plan for the Shattuck and Adeline corridors from Ward St. south to the Oakland border. To get email regarding new additions, join the Google Group mailing list.

Berkeley kicks off Adeline corridor improvements push is a Berkeleyside article about a 3/22/14 "Adeline Community Meeting" apparently required for the grant application. The meeting was announced by email four days earlier ("The City has an opportunity to apply for planning grants that would cover the Adeline Corridor. Before we begin the application process, we would like invite you to provide your input and share your vision for the area from Ward Street to the Oakland border.")

4/29/14 City Council "recess" resolution approving applying for the MTC grant

Grant Launches Revitalization Plan for South Berkeley - City Wins Critically Needed $750,000 is a 5/28/14 press release from Mayor Tom Bates' office regarding the award of the grant from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission.

Request for Proposal documents the city provided to consultants applying to oversee spending of the $750,000:

• Request for Proposals
• Old Road, New Directions: A Plan for Adeline (12MB) was done by UC Berkeley planning graduate students in 2010. It apparently had a major influence on the grant application. Some of the documents it refers to are on the archived old site (see link below).
• Attachment L: narrative summary
• gate.io: map of the plan area, which includes the commercially zoned parcels along Shattuck from Dwight to Ward (plus the Iceland / Sports Basement parcel on Milvia) and along Adeline to the Oakland border. That includes the Ed Roberts Campus but not the BART parking lot behind it. It does not include the parcels on the east side of Shattuck south of Ward (UC Storage in, Kirala out) or any parcels on Shattuck south of Russell (Berkeley Bowl in, True Value hardware out).
• 2005 Berkeley Bicycle Plan (I'm not sure if this was attached or if I just happened to download it at the same time)
• Addendum A: answers to questions submitted during the 8/28/14 pre-bid meeting
• Addendum B: more questions and answers
• Addendum C: clarification of how to calculate application page count

$750K grant may bring big changes to South Berkeley is an 8/19/14 Berkeleyside article about the grant and planning process.

The grant is on the City Council's gate.io for Nov. 18, items 16 and 17. The latter authorizes the city manager to execute a contract with MIG.
