Community Celebration 3/9/25
West Oakland’s crumbling 16th Street station took a big step forward toward possible preservation and reactivation thanks to the recent efforts of The Oakland Heritage Alliance.
OHA announced the news in their January 24 newsletter that the structure had been accepted on the National Park Service Register of Historic Places. This small victory comes following their ongoing advocacy including an online petition and other
community engagement efforts over the past year.
Students joined inthe event, bringing games and engaging the public by asking what they would like to see the station become. A model was displayed to kick start the public’s imagination.
