“As the City continues to double down on blight and beautification in East Oakland, we also know community partnerships like this are essential for the sustained health of Oakland’s communities.

“As we come together to adopt and beautify the Coliseum Corridor, we’re not just preparing for an event—we’re showing pride in our community. After all, it’s important to clean your house before welcoming guests, and that’s exactly what we intend to do. If this initiative is successful, we can keep it going and expand to other areas of Oakland, making a lasting impact beyond the All-Star weekend.”
