The As haven’t committed to paying for the infrastructure and Mayor Schaaf said she expects Oakland taxpayers to spend at least $200 million for the ballpark. How much will taxpayers actually have to pay?

Washington is  listed as a corridor. I would  expect a lot of pedestrians from BART to the ballpark because of the shops and restaurants on this street. Part of Washington is currently a ‘flex’ street.

New streetscape this month with a local lei-making company to engage the neighborhood in a demonstration of AAPI support. They'll be out on Farmers Market days for community members to create prayer or wish ribbons and participate in the lei making.

We've also got some fabulous artwork incoming from Trust Your Struggle that will be mounted in our vacant windows.

E14 is also doing Saturday art markets with the next one on May 1st, and we've got a new gallery tenant, Omiiroo, two doors down from E14 on 9th St.

We're also hoping to get started on a big security camera installation around the property soon.

Uptown/Downtown BID has some grant money to put towards installations if you collaborate with their vendor.

The new ballpark will require the use of thousands of cubic yards of concrete. The essential ingredient in concrete is Portland Cement, which is produced in a high temperature industrial process requiring the combustion of coal. Cement plants are significant sources (greater than petroleum refineries) of CO2 emissions and other air pollutants globally and in California The City of Oakland publicly supports the reduction of greenhouse gasses and opposes the transportation/storage/use of coal. How does the City justify the air pollution that will be generated by the construction of this stadium?

About

The Howard Terminal proposal Community Benefits Agreement ("CBA") is an opportunity to set a national precedent. It will be the first CBA to use existing conditions of racial disparities data from the Oakland Race and Equity Baseline Indicators Repor t that was published in 2019 to establish race and equity baselines from which CBA will be developed. It will also be the first to be developed through a collaborative multi-stakeholder Steering Committee.
Equity-Centered
The Howard Terminal CBA process is equity-centered and community-focused. The City of Oakland is leading the process, working closely with community members and other stakeholders such as community advocates, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, schools, health-care providers, public agencies, and partners from the West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project and the Oakland Asian Cultural Center, the Port of Oakland, and the Oakland Athletics.
Community Driven
The Howard Terminal CBA content is community-driven and developed from a grassroots level through working groups that have been identified as Topic Cohorts. There are seven Topic Cohorts: Community Health & Safety, Culture Keeping & History, Economic Development & Jobs, Education, Environment, Housing, and Transportation. Topic Cohorts will meet between 2-4 times per month beginning February 2020, and membership is open to any Oakland resident or stakeholder.

A multi-stakeholder Howard Terminal CBA Steering Committee is responsible for the deliberation of the comprehensive CBA that unites the Topic Cohort content. The Steering Committee also works in collaboration to arrive to a legally-binding and enforceable Community Benefits Agreement. The Steering Committee was formed by the following: 1) Each Topic Cohort selected two members to the Howard Terminal CBA Steering Committee. 2) In addition to the Topic Cohort representatives, the Steering Committee has four At-Large seats that represent the high Impact Areas (Chinatown, Jack London Square, Old Oakland, and West Oakland). 3) Lastly, the City of Oakland, the Port of Oakland, and the Oakland Athletics each has one seat on the Steering Committee.
Community First
Community involvement, particularly from those who are typically marginalized in public processes, is integral to identifying the appropriate steering committee, equitable metrics and terms, and a holistic and inclusive Community Benefits Agreement. The Howard Terminal CBA focuses on participation from Oakland's community members who are most impacted by racial, economic, and health disparities. Residential community members from the geographic areas that may experience higher impact levels (Chinatown, Jack London Square, Old Oakland, and West Oakland) are especially sought to get involved with the development of the Howard Terminal CBA.
Guiding Principles
The Howard Terminal CBA process adopting the following guiding principles:

To be inclusive: Developing alternative methods for public engagement for racial/ethnic communities; establishing rapport and trust with racial and ethnic groups and individuals who are traditionally not involved in decision-making processes.

To be transparent: Sharing with community the pros and cons of options, and informing the community about steps actions, changes to or new services.

To be collaborative: Develop a comprehensive and exhaustive CBA based on extensive engagement by community members and stakeholders who: 1) offer previous CBA development experience, 2) whose lived experience can inform the development of the Howard Terminal CBA, and, 3) stakeholders who have policy and other technical expertise through their professions.

To have integrity: Have open discussions and garner consensus by respecting what stakeholder peers support or oppose. There will be no "backroom deals".

To seek solutions: Identify feasible solutions to problems that may be long-standing, or unique to the Howard Terminal ballpark development.

How does the project view community concerns about gentrification?

There was once a proposal to build an aerial tramway to ferry people from 10th Street to the new ballpark. If this is still an option, what parallel plan is there to include a promenade on the ground extending from Old Town to the new ballpark that will ensure that small businesses along the route are not bypassed by people en route?
