THE BERKELEY ACTIVIST'S CALENDAR, August 14-21
Worth Noting:
Monday – The noon Community for a Cultural Civic Center meeting really does meet for only 1 hour and looks to be updates. Peace and Justice Commission meets in the evening at 7 pm. I will be attending only because I try to track city meetings and summarize what happened for you.
Wednesday - WETA (ferry service) has a planning workshop at 10 am in the morning and board meeting in the afternoon at 1 pm. If you don’t attend, which I expect you won’t, use the link to take a quick cruise through the budget/financials and see that it is federal assistance and bridge tolls that is keeping WETA afloat not fares.
Thursday – is the “preliminary design review” (first introduction) of two 4-story mixed-use (commercial and housing) at the Design Review Committee at 7 pm. The Landmarks Preservation Commission is expected to announce a special meeting for Thursday – there is no posting, check later.
Friday - Commission on Health Entheogenic Plants Subcommittee meets at 2 pm.
Attorney Tom Lippe (excellent reputation) is representing Peoples Park Historic District Advocacy Group. That is how the stay was secured to stop construction. The group needs your help for continuing court battles. Donate online or send a check https://www.peoplesparkhxdist.org/donate-now/
Save Cesar Chavez Park petition https://chavezpark.org/petition-to-save-chavez-park-from-bmasp/
As always check https://berkeleyca.gov/ for short notice/late postings during the week.
