.Oakland Ballpark Study Funding On Tap for Tuesday

The city’s proposal to spend $750,000 on an environmental impact report for a new Oakland A’s ballpark in Jack London Square is scheduled to go before a council committee on Tuesday. The council’s Community and Economic Development Agency committee will examine the financing proposal at its regular 1:30 p.m. meeting at City Hall on December 14. The item then likely will be forwarded to the full council for approval on December 21.

Approval of the $750,000 is pivotal for the proposed Victory Court ballpark site to move forward. The ballpark cannot advance without the environmental impact report. At the very least, the council would need to approve funding for a traffic study related to the environmental impact report. But if the council decides to not spend any money, it would send a clear signal to Major League Baseball that Oakland is not serious about trying to keep the A’s.
