In
November 2002, over 80% of Oakland voters passed Measure DD, a $198.25
million bond measure focused on waterfront improvements at Lake Merritt
and the Estuary. Funded projects include parks, trails, bridges, a
recreation center and an arts center, land acquisition, and
creek restoration. Though these projects are being phased in over a number of
years, many are already complete and many others are in progress.

The group meets bi-monthly and is open to anyone interested in finding
