Press Release: Public Meetings Planned for AC Transit Redistricting Process
Federal and state laws require the Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District to adjust its ward boundaries every 10 years in order to equalize populations following the completion of the federal census.
To aid in the redistricting process, the agency’s Redistricting Committee and staff have developed proposals that will be vetted at a series of outreach meetings. Community members, elected officials and interested parties are encouraged to attend the meetings and offer their views and recommendations.
The meetings will be held on the following days and locations:
| Date/Time | Location |
| October 17, 2011 from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. | Hayward City Hall 777 B Street, Conference Room 2A Hayward |
| October 20, 2011 from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. | Bayfair Mall Community Room 15555 E. 14th Street (Upper level near escalator, use Entrance 3) San Leandro |
| October 24, 2011 from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. | North Berkeley Senior Center 1901 Hearst Avenue Berkeley |
| October 27, 2011 from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. | AC Transit General Offices 2nd Floor Board Room, 1600 Franklin Street Oakland |
At these meetings, the proposed boundary configurations – with descriptions, maps and demographics – will be displayed for public comment. Persons who are unable to attend the meetings can find the entire redistricting plans on the District’s website at www.actransit.org (click on “Ward Redistricting”).
The public can also offer input and request additional information about the process and the proposed plans by emailing districtsecretary@actransit.
The deadline to submit comments on the initial redistricting plans is October 28, 2011.
