Antioch Court Renovation

Antioch Court Renovation for a Safer and Vibrant Community Space

Project Location

About

In 2011 the Montclair Village Association (MVA) launched a campaign to rebuild Montclair’s beloved Antioch Court to address pedestrian and transportation safety concerns. Currently, the Antioch Court streetscape is dilapidated and structurally-challenged. Increasing the safety and accessibility of Antioch Court will help make an expanded plaza of Montclair a public destination, showcase venue, and community event space to become a popular haven, featuring locally owned shops, art galleries, restaurants, cafes, and boutiques.

Councilmember Sheng Thao successfully advocated for $480,000 to be allocated to the capital improvement project during the 2019-2021 budget process.

“Revitalizing Antioch Court will create accessibility for all Oaklanders, creating a space where we can build community and celebrate culture and art. The space will also be an asset for our young people throughout the City of Oakland.”
- Councilmember Sheng Thao

The Montclair Village Association has raised $619,000 of the $750,000 needed to fund a new Village Plaza. The Montclair Village Association is reaching out to the public to help close the gap.
