CIP Budget Discussion Saturday, January 22, 2011

The Capital Improvement Program Budget will be discussed at City Hall from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 22. These decisions will determine what projects get funds from the redevelopment agency over the next 2-4 years.

Please consider attending and voicing your priorities to help inform our decisions. Topics that I have heard from residents and business community members include: The Emeryville Center of Community Life, a Quiet Zone for our railroad, the new Art Center funding, undergrounding of Utilities in the north part of town, street improvements, affordable housing in development projects, and public parking, among others. The session will include public participation.

This session is the first of two public opportunities to weigh in. In between, a survey will be sent out to solicit more input from the public. Please participate! Final decisions will be made in early spring 2011.

The full list of options that are being considered are available on the City of Emeryville website or by clicking here.

Hope to see you there!
