Webster Green Charrette a Success

JLDA organized a neighborhood design charrette on December 7, 2011. This was a working session to discuss and sketch ideas for a potential Webster Green connecting Chinatown to the waterfront. Participants were divided into four teams: two worked on Lower Webster (Embarcadero to 4th Street) and two worked on Upper Webster (4th Street to 7th Street). All teams were asked to address specific categories of development: character, program, features, transportation, financing, sustainability, and events. After ninety minutes of intense brainstorming, the groups came together to present their ideas and discuss outcomes.

At the next JLDA Land Use and Transportation Committee meeting we will discuss the results of the charrette and next steps towards creating a Webster Green: January 23rd from 7-9pm at 229 Harrison Street in Oakland. All interested parties are welcome.
