BART seeks input on improving Lake Merritt Station area neighborhood

If you live, work or play near Lake Merritt BART Station, or frequently commute to the surrounding neighborhood, we invite you to be a part of the planning process to improve this area. We are partnering with the City of Oakland and Peralta Community College District to redesign the area to better suit the community's needs and we need your input. We are inviting you to the first community workshop planned for Wednesday, April 14 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Light refreshments will be served.

RSVPs to the meeting are not required; however if you need Cantonese, Mandarin or Vietnamese translators, please call (510) 238-7904 or email us at [email protected]. This is the first of four meetings.
