NORTH BASIN STRIP Community Meeting
Sunday, November 17, 10 am to 12 noon
Join us to learn about the North Basin Strip, an area along the Berkeley Shoreline proposed for development by the Eastshore State Park. The North Basin Strip is the portion of the McLaughlin Eastshore State Park located south of the Gilman Sports Fields in Berkeley. It is approximately 20 acres and includes 2,800 linear feet of shoreline. The Park District is embarking on a planning project to develop a preliminary design to improve this portion of the park that will include several opportunities for public engagement.
To engage in the civic park planning project, J-Sei was invited to nominate a representative for the New Voices Program. Christine Hikido is excited to represent J-Sei and ensure that your voice is heard in the North Basin Strip Project community engagement process! She joined the New Voices Program, which aims to get local underrepresented communities more involved in parks. Christine has worked for nonprofits across the Bay Area and currently works as a grants specialist at RYSE Youth Center in Richmond. She recently finished UC Berkeley’s Master of City Planning program and is interested in getting more involved in the local community and the park planning process.
We encourage J-Sei participants to join us to give your input and learn more about the North Basin Strip. Here are a few ways that you can get involved:
(1) Complete the North Basin Survey.
(2) Attend the North Basin Strip Community Meeting on Nov 17. Reserve a spot.
(3) Let us know if you are interested in joining a future meeting at J-Sei. RSVP for park planning with J-Sei by emailing jill@j-sei.org with “North Basin” in the memo.
