In 1993, the League of Women Voters of Oakland published a benchmark
study titled The Waterfront: It touches the World. How does it
touch Oakland? This document laid the foundation for much of
the region's waterfront planning over the following decade, and it
stimulated a new awareness of Oakland's waterfront as a vital yet
neglected resource.
Today, some of the facts and specifics of the report are dated, but the
study's fundamental findings and direction continue to be relevant and
meaningful.
The study report, reproduced here, was prepared by the League's
Waterfront Committee, consisting of Virginia Hamrick, Susan Rich, Sandra
Threlfall, and Richard Winnie, Chair. The Waterfront: It touches the World.
