The source of data on this page is publicly available using state or local databases. Much of the data has been obtained directly from Oakland administration by filing public record requests, which by law they must respond to within 10 business days, and must provide all data they have gathered. This allows the citizens of Oakland to hold our administration accountable for the decisions they make and ensure they have used all appropriate means to validate project feasibility, including community outreach and support, before implementing any project. If you feel that projects have been implemented which ignore this data, please contact us and provide the details, so that we may take appropriate action.
