Broadway-Valdez Plan Post-Occ w/Matt Taecker
Do you know where they say the neon lights are bright? On Broadway; that’s where. The 1963 song performed by the Drifters extolls the highs and lows that most urban corridors have seen over the years. For the City of Oakland, 2014 marked the year that the Broadway-Valdez District Specific Plan was adopted, working toward a vibrant solution as “uniquely Oakland”.
Come join AIAEB RUD in hosting Architect & Urban Planner Matt Taecker as we discuss the post-occupancy reality to celebrate the big wins and goals + challenges still in process.
