Improve the health and well-being of Oakland residents
New publicly-owned land for development
Increase land values and tax revenue
Improve walking, biking, and public transit infrastructure
Reconnect West Oakland to Downtown
The freeway separates West Oakland from Downtown both physically and psychologically.
I-980 fails to serve local residents.
Prime location for uses to address key issues: housing, job creation, public transit infrastructure
I-980 is underutilized - the traffic it receives is well below its capacity
The land could also generate income for the city.$

Conducted on a weekday morning (7:30-8:30 am) and afternoon (4:30-5:30 pm). The survey was done on the same day (Friday) as the Art + Soul Festival.
The presence of I-980 makes the area more car-centric. However, our traffic counts reflect latent demand for safe, pedestrian and bike friendly infrastructure.

Noise Map
I-980 is perceived as a major dividing line by local residents. Survey participants reported the overpasses connecting West Oakland and Downtown to be uninviting, polluted, and dangerous.

The presence of trash, grafti and poorly-lit areas create an unwelcoming environment. Walkways are wide but uninteresting for pedestrians. Crosswalks do not always connect.
METHOD 1: Three posters were installed along an overpass with questions about the overpass experience.
METHOD 2: Pedestrians traversing the I-980 corridor were invited to complete in a survey. Items included questions about transit, perceptions of the area, and a neighborhood-mapping exercise. (N=21).
[The] highway divides the city.
[The] corner at Castro & 14th is VERY dangerous for pedestrians - can something be done?
