Status: Alameda City Council accepted the SFEP and NFWF grants in June 2023 and approved the consultant agreement in September 2023. Project Partners - consultant team, agency staff and Community Partners - are analyzing existing conditions and preparing the community engagement strategy with the first round of community engagement expected in spring/summer 2024. A second round of community engagement is expected in early 2025 with a recommended Long-term Plan completed in mid-2025.
The purpose of the Long-term Adaptation Plan is to:
- Protect shoreline communities adjacent to the San Leandro Bay and Oakland-Alameda Estuary from expected sea level and groundwater rise and liquefaction;
- Enhance transportation and recreation corridors and bay access;
- Reduce flood exposure;
- Create or restore marsh, upland and transitional habitat with nature-based solutions;
- Improve air quality;
- Reduce climate risks to shoreline communities throughout the San Leandro operational landscape unit (OLU)(PDF, 125KB);
- Detail key steps and actions to take as the shoreline changes, identifying trigger points and costs for each of the outlined pathways; and
- Use a decision-making process to ensure the voices of all stakeholders in the San Leandro Bay-Oakland Alameda Estuary Adaptation Committee (previously known as Working Group) are heard.
