Uptown Traffic Management Plan (Last Update: November 2007)
A number of development and streetscape projects in the Uptown District of downtown Oakland are either underway or will begin soon. With the goal of minimizing impact on merchants and consumers, a Traffic Management Plan (TMP) has been developed by the City of Oakland.
This web page was created in order to inform merchants and consumers about individual project status, construction timelines and potential pedestrian, vehicular, transit and parking impacts.
Parking has been identified by local merchants as a major area of concern. Staff has created a map which identifies existing public parking garages and surface lots in the Uptown area. Click on the Parking Map listed below.
New! Please click on the link below for the Temporary Parking & Street Closures map for information about on-street parking removals and street closures due to the construction in Downtown.
The Uptown TMP is jointly funded by the City of Oakland and AC Transit.
