Waterfront Action Meetings

Waterfront Action holds meetings at least 6 months of the year.  These meetings, which are open to the public, typically include a presentation focused on a waterfront topic of interest to the community. 

To get a sense of the character of these meetings, review the Waterfront Action meeting agenda history.

These meetings are held at 8:00 AM, typically on a Wednesday, but the exact date and location is not finalized until the agenda is set and distributed.  If you would like receive meeting notices and agendas by E-mail, please join our Friends of the Waterfront E-mail newsletter.

Other Regularly Scheduled Meetings

Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC)  meetings are held on the first and third Thursdays of each month at 1 PM. The site alternates between Oakland at MTC and San Francisco at the Ferry Building.  Due to budget constraints, BCDC has been holding only one meeting a month, so each month, one of the proposed meetings will be cancelled.  Check the BCDC public notices to confirm a meeting and view the agenda.

Port-City Liaison Committee.  This committee is composed of four council members and three Port commissioners. It meets at the Port of Oakland's Board Room, 530 Water St., Oakland, at 8 AM on a quarterly basis.  Check the Port meeting calendar to for the date and agenda of the next meeting.

Waterfront Action Field Trip

The February 18, 2009 tour of the High Street Bridge catwalks and Hanson Aggregates was attended by about 20 adventurous members of our community, businesses, and government, and it was a grand experience.

Rick Ruiz of Alameda County Public Works led us through the narrow corridor at the shoreline and then back out in the light to the catwalk under the bridge. Under the care and guidance of Rick Ruiz and Dan Woldesenbet, Director of PWA, the bridge was raised at 9 AM. What a moment- and we were under it!

Back out to High Street and then a walk along Tidewater to Hanson Aggregate. Hard hats were distributed to all and Mike Bishop, marine operations manager, gave us a guided tour of the site and its waterfront operations.
