Notice re: Street Closures and Access Restrictions at Frank Ogawa Plaza on Sunday

Please note that this is not a City event; it is privately organized and permitted by the candidate’s campaign. Any time a large, permitted public event that draws thousands of visitors to our public spaces is held in Oakland, the City’s role is to facilitate safe vehicle and pedestrian access on our City streets and public spaces, and to reduce the impacts associated with those crowds on our businesses and neighborhoods.

Details regarding set-up logistics, street closures, and Plaza access restrictions over the weekend are detailed below.

Doors will open at 12 noon on Sunday, and the rally is scheduled to begin at 12:45 pm. The public entrance is at the corner of 14^th & Broadway.

Saturday Set-up:

• Staging, sound systems, LED screens, bike barricades, and other rally elements will be built in and around the plaza.
