The results of this First Quarter show that immediate action is necessary to maintain the solvency of the General Purpose Fund.

Sobering finance report from City of Oakland, for discussion by Council on 11/19. Difficult decisions loom. Some acrimony may be unavoidable, but hoping for a solution-oriented and forward-looking process.

It may be possible to recycle an old application and hope for the best. But disappointed to not have more funding options for newer community-driven projects like 73rd Ave and Chinatown Plan

I’d love to be hopeful, but skeptical of spending staff time on new Round 2 applications. Project selection will occur under a new administration (if it happens at all)

Fingers crossed that Oakland scores some regional money, but only $14M available for entire region won’t go far

Pushing the state to fund some projects on this list would be a good start.

After ATP budget was slashed at the last minute, only projects scoring 96 or higher made the cut. Some great East Bay projects just below the line (including Oakland). Brutal!
