What We Stand For

The City of Alameda should be a place where families can raise their children and enjoy our beautiful scenery along the San Francisco Bay. But an enormous piece of our island is off limits because it is a toxic mess. After more than 100 years of military and industrial use, Alameda Point sits in decay and disrepair. We believe that it is our responsibility to clean up Alameda Point to make way for outdoor recreation, schools and housing. We support the plan to revitalize Alameda Point because doing nothing is no longer an option.
