Oaklanders have shared a desire to be more connected to the waterfront, with new homes and jobs, as well as more parks and gathering spaces and access to the waterfront, much of which is lined with older industrial uses in the central and eastern parts of the City.

Option C: Midtown Waterfront District outlines a new “Midtown” waterfront district to replace old industrial lands along the Central Estuary and around a new San Antonio transit hub at E. 12th St and 14th Ave. This transit hub could lay the groundwork for a future San Antonio BART station. The new Midtown will have densities in-between Downtown and neighborhood mixed-use centers, with new homes, jobs, waterfront parks, and better connections across I-880.

Total Growth

Option C: Midtown Waterfront District would result in 97,000 new housing units and 120,000 new jobs by 2045 (in addition to 189,700 housing units and 217,680 jobs presently).

Equity

Option C: Midtown Waterfront District would add new housing and jobs in 12 of Oakland’s Environmental Justice communities, including 8 of the 12 most vulnerable communities.
