Public Works and Traffic Advisories

Construction activities for the Oakland Alameda Access Project (OAAP) are currently underway as of early March 2026. This long-term infrastructure project aims to improve connectivity between I-880, I-980, and the Posey and Webster Tubes. Residents and commuters should anticipate intermittent lane closures and overnight maintenance work. At this time, city officials remind motorists that while maintenance is frequent, both the Posey and Webster Tubes will not be closed simultaneously to ensure continued cross-estuary access.

Public Health Advisories

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has issued a statewide health alert following a confirmed measles outbreak in the Sacramento and Placer County regions. While no cases have been reported within Oakland city limits this week, local healthcare providers are urged to maintain a high index of suspicion for patients presenting with fever and rash. Furthermore, a regional advisory has been issued following reported cases of mumps at Berkeley High School. Residents are encouraged to verify that they are up to date on their MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccinations.

Administrative Notices

The City of Oakland has officially extended the grace period for Sunday parking meter enforcement. While initially slated for earlier this year, the first day of active Sunday enforcement is now scheduled for April 12, 2026. This extension is intended to allow residents and visitors more time to adjust to the new weekend parking regulations.
