Streets and Open Space Improvement Plan (SOSIP)
A "Street & Open Space Improvement Plan" (SOSIP) is being developed to enhance Berkeley's Downtown. The SOSIP will develop schematic designs, design guidelines, and a financing strategy for improvements to make Downtown more pedestrian-friendly, bike-friendly, livable, and attractive. Community members are encouraged to attend future meetings on the SOSIP, where opportunities for public comment will be provided. As it becomes available, information and meetings for the SOSIP will be posted on the Downtown Street and Open Space Improvement Plan (SOSIP) Joint Subcommittee page, or contact Matt Taecker, Principal Planner for the Downtown, at mtaecker@ci.berkeley.ca.us or 510-981-7487. The SOSIP is funded by a grant from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) with matching funds provided by the City of Berkeley.
