Future of I-980: Decking over the Freeway
Funding is being considered for improvements to reconnect West Oakland to Downtown, currently divided by the depressed freeway I-980.

Bryan Grunwald will present the case for instead leaving I-980 in place and decking over it to create new buildings and parks.
