Ecocity Builders and WISR are embarking on an
effort to team with groups and residents of West Oakland--to explore
how community needs might be better met through the eventual development
of a "sustainable urban village."
We encourage the everyone to click on the Community
Forum link, and read and comment on ideas, suggestions, questions,
concerns and issues that may contribute to the West Oakland neighborhoods
and the West Oakland Sustainable Village project. This particular
Community
Forum is part of WISR's
online collaboration site.
This forum is for residents of West Oakland, especially, and
for other interested people (for example, planners, government officials,
environmental activists) to give us your suggestions on the needs
and possibilties for West Oakland. Feel free to include your e-mail
and/or phone number if you would like for us to contact you so you
can ask questions or give us more indepth feedback.
. . . to give us your suggestions, comments and questions, you need
to
Option 1: log out as a "guest" and then log in, with
the user name: westoakland --and the password: urbanvillage. And,
if you wish to receive e-mail responses to your comments, you must
list your e-mail address in the body of the text of your comments
(otherwise e-mail responses to your comments will go to mail@wisr.edu).
(Preferred) Option 2: If you would like your own individual
user name and password, which is connected to your e-mail address,
please send an e-mail to mail@wisr.edu with the subject heading:
Request Enrollment in West Oakland Urban Village Class --then in
the body of your e-mail give us your name (first and last) and e-mail
address, and we will give assign you a user name and password, and
enroll you.
Option 1 can be done immediately, and then you can do Option 2
(which will take a day or two) for easier long-term use.
West Oakland can have increased access to healthy
foods and farmer’s markets. Here is a stand sponsored by EcoVillage
Farm in Richmond.
