A Coliseum for Us All: Survey for City Residents About What YOU Want to See at the Coliseum Redevelopment
The Oakland Coliseum is an important part of Oakland’s history. For over half a century, it has been a mainstay in the lives of Oakland residents. The Oakland Coliseum is a place where tradition, pride for our city, and a true sense of community have been fostered for decades. Now, we have the opportunity to shape the Coliseum’s future. We must ensure that the development of the Coliseum site benefits the people of Oakland in general and particularly supports and serves East Oakland residents and the communities surrounding the Coliseum.
Please fill out the survey and let us know what YOU think is important for a proposed Coliseum development.
Oakland United is a long-standing coalition of Oakland residents, workers, labor unions, community organizations, youth & faith groups that has been engaged in the Coliseum development proposals since 2015. Our coalition will negotiate with the African American Sports & Entertainment Group (AASEG), a developer that has proposed a development on the Coliseum site that has an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement with the City of Oakland, to create a comprehensive Community Benefits Agreement for the development. Through this agreement, this project could improve the lives of Oakland residents by providing meaningful economic opportunities, housing stability, and environmental safeguards.
We are committed to prioritizing the voices of East Oakland and other city residents by ensuring that we hear directly from you. This project on public land has the potential to reinvigorate our city and transform our communities.
The Oakland United Coalition wants to ensure that we hear from YOU and other Oaklanders about what the project should include to really benefit local Oakland residents, families, and communities. Please fill out this survey form now!
