The city of Berkeley is hosting five public meetings this month to collect public input on how to spend more than $50 million in Measure T1 money. They kick off tonight, Oct. 1.
Part of Adeline Street has been completely repaved and improvements are planned on University Avenue at the marina. Live Oak Park’s community center is being rebuilt. It’s all part of T1 bond measure work underway now.
The stretch of Sixth Street that was described last year as like driving through a former war zone has a new, smooth surface. The work is part of a range of paving projects around the city.

Renovations, which includes a major seismic retrofit, are expected to take 12-18 months.
This advisory measure will help the city establish priorities for infrastructure work and responses to climate change.
The fees to help maintain and improve Berkeley’s stormwater and lighting systems have not been increased in decades. Berkeley is seeking funds to modernize its infrastructure.
The Berkeley pier has a long and storied history. First used for ferry service, then for car service, then for recreation, it is now too dilapidated to be open.
