ONN – Oakland Rockridge RCPC First 2020 Meeting: Measure Q, Census, OakDOT Director Ryan Russo
The Rockridge Community Planning Council meets for the first time in 2020, tomorrow. Here is what the group posted in an email:
All are welcome and encouraged to join the Rockridge Community Planning Council (RCPC) at the first Town Hall of the year. The meeting will be held on January 16, from 7:30-9pm, at the Rockridge Library, 5366 College, in the upstairs meeting room.
January’s event will feature several topics of interest. To start the evening off, Brooke Levin, former Director of Public Works at City of Oakland, will briefly introduce Oakland Measure Q, a parcel tax to clean up our local parks, waterways and recreation areas, and address the homeless crisis. (Please support this important piece of legislation.)
Alameda County Supervisor Keith Carson will also be on the agenda to discuss the importance of the 2020 Census for our community, and how his office is working to make sure an accurate count of all of our residents is obtained.
Our main Town Hall speaker will be Oakland’s Department of Transportation (OakDOT) Director Ryan Russo, who will provide an overview of OakDOT, its successes, opportunities for the new year, and other highlights. Come prepared to learn more about transportation in Oakland and how it has changed since OakDOT’s formation.
Stay tuned.
Note from Oakland News Now Technical: this video-blog post shows the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. The uploaded video is from a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
