Albany Recreation & Commu nity Services conti nues its Parks\, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan update with the secon d of three workshops designed to gather community feedback. The first Alba ny Parks community workshop was intended to capture a high-level vision of what changes people would like to see in their park system. This next wor kshop is intended to focus at a site-specific scale on how those changes m ight look like. We will be joined on the webinar-style Zoom with the Alban y Parks\, Recreation\, and Open Space Commission.
\n \nSignificant is that thi
s plan deals not only with parks per se\, but also trails and paths like t
he Ohlone Greenway and the Codornices & Cerrito Creek Paths. Which connect
ions do you and your family need to safely bike or walk where you’re going
?
\nAre there sufficient bike racks and other facilities in our parks
and open spaces?
REGISTER FOR THE WORKSHOP HERE
\nPlease take the Albany par ks community survey here and follow @albanyparksmp on Instagram for the latest upd ates. Stay in the loop through www.albanyparks.com. Yo u can also receive Master Plan updates through “Albany Parks Master Plan” eNotifications.

As the pilot project approaches the 1 year mark it has go ne well in many ways and is valued infrastructure to help the City meet it s climate goals and help people get around with fewer cars or no cars now that the state’s and city’s zoning has been changed to allow any housing b ig or small to have zero parking spaces. One sticking point with the city has been the parking direction. The pilot program has reported no collisio ns on Adams/Kains. Many blocks in Berkeley for ~50 years have had the same traffic flow as we have now on Adams/Kains where public data show s no injury accidents have been reported in the ~9 years since data has be en collected. Literature opposed to the Adams/Kains project warne d of the extreme dangers to residents\, delayed emergency response and pro mised “chaos and carnage” if it was implemented but we have seen none of t hat. People who helped distribute that literature have said at public meet ings “things are fine the way they’ve always been” while ignoring the city ’s climate goals and new zoning that removes off-street parking requiremen ts.
