This is the archive of the meetings of the Infrastructure Action Team.

Following a first meeting that introduced the concept and work of the Action Teams, several subsequent meetings focused on identifying issues and opportunities for a series of topics. This input was used to establish an initial list of strategies to develop through the summer of 2021. Between now and then, staff and the Action Team members will focus on conducting additional research and outreach to fully develop strategies for the Infrastructure chapter of the Oakland Plan.
