11 Informational Report on North Oakland Gang Injunctions

It's worth reading the full report yourself (it's only nine pages, plus maps) to see the city's justification and own internal evaluation of the North Oakland gang injunctions.

• The report attributes a 70 percent decline in drug activity in North Oakland in the six months after the injunction was put in place.
• The injunction's 15 defendants share 67 arrests and 53 convictions among them. In the 11 months since the injunction went into effect, only one defendant was arrested within the Safety Zone, and three others were arrested in other parts of Oakland.
• The Oakland Police Department estimate they've spent $133,089 enforcing the injunction against the North Side Oakland gang $73,184 against the Norteños.
• The City Attorney's Office estimates it has spent another $300,726 on the North Side case and $254,128 on the Norteños.

Is this worth it? What will Fruitvale's benefits and costs look like?

9.1 Upholding a Permit for a Drive-through on Telegraph

The McDonald's at 4514 Telegraph Ave. has operated a 24-hour drive through for 17 years without the appropriate permits. Now, while the McDonald's is working through the city approval process for a general site redesign, they applied for the permit to make their existing 24-hour drive through legal.

Frustrated by years of a drive through in such a high pedestrian-rich area, and the city's apparent disinterest in enforcing its own regulations, 26 neighbors filed an appeal to bring the McDonald's application under review.

Tonight, the City Council will review a recommendation to disregard this appeal.

Expect some vocal audience opposition.

7.21 Installation of Bicycle Lanes on MacArthur Boulevard

With this measure, the city of Oakland scores and racks up another half mile for what is on track to become a record-setting year for bikeways Oakland. These new bike lanes will run along MacArthur Boulevard from High Street to Enos, along I-580.

7.11 Settlement Agreement

While approving bicycle lanes on another part of MacArthur Boulevard, the city will resolve a lawsuit over a "trip and fall" accident at 721 West MacArthur Blvd. (between West and Martin Luther King) with a $90,000 settlement.
