Opening Plenary: Oakland’s Equity-Centered Bike PlanThe plenary this year highlighted the City of Oakland’s recent bike plan update, Let’s Bike Oakland, which placed equity and community-partnerships at its core. Tossing out the old community input playbook, OakDOT directly engaged underserved communities whose voices have historically been overlooked, investing in community-based organizations as core project team members and establishing data-based, equity-driven prioritization for bicycle investments. In this session, SVBC Boardmember Margarita Parra interviewed participants from OakDOT, Transform, East Oakland Collective, and Cycles of Change for their perspectives on the process, outcomes and lessons learned.Presentations:
