Looking down the length of Hegenberger Road, one might expect the grand opening ribbon of the Oakland Airport Connector to be cut at any moment -- or at least by summers end. But as attendees at AABAs Economic Development Committee meeting of June 27th learned, well need to wait a little longer than that to see the first users glide down our commercial corridor and into Oakland International Airport.

Several Doppelmayr cable cars will be in service on the Connector, looping back and forth between BART and OAK. A car is expected to be either leaving BART or the Airport approximately every four minutes. The

Connector path will leave passengers traveling from BART at the foot of Terminal 1 to take a few short steps into the Airport. construction is expected to be complete by the end of 2013, another six to nine months will be spent on system testing of cars along the track before the Connector is open to the public sometime in 2014.

Total cost of the Connector is $484 million. $219 million has so far been Notable Facts: expended. The project is considered on time and on budget. A detailed breakdown of 128,000 labor hours have been logged so sources of funding for the OAC can be found far on the project, most being accomplished at www.bart.gov/about/projects/oac/ by local service providers since work began in March 2011. The next step after column erection is guideway truss installation, that will occur at The ride aboard the Connector, from nightime, 9 pm to 5 am.

One can already see where the truss will be attached atop the concrete cantilevers erected along the Connectors path.

is working diligently to get word out to local businesses impacted by noise and traffic. Piledriving will be completed soon. BART will continue to advise the public about traffic delays and lane closures for project duration.

Conceptual of the OAC Coliseum Station. Construction has already started here as well as on the maintenance facility on Hegenberger at Pardee that will serve as the engine room for driverless OAC cars. An intermediary stop, should one come to be built, would most likely be located in the immediate vicinity of the maintenance facility site.

OAC Project Alignment

Mr.

Hood emphasized BARTs commitment to minimizing the impact to local commerce during construction of the OAC and offered the following contact information should issues of major concern arise throughout the process: (510) 464-6463 or oaklandirportconnector@bart.gov. As Oakland International Airport grows, the OAC will keep pace, accommodating up to 10,000 passengers a day and offering one more transit option for Bay Area travelers.

The OAC will dip underground into a tunnel structure at the intersection of Doolittle Drive and Airport Access Road to adhere to North Field runway flight clearance. Its anticipated that traffic at the intersection will be somewhat impacted for the next six months while the tunnel is constructed. An

intermediate stop at Pardee and Hegenberger is technically feasible. BART has allowed enough room for parking at the site, should a future stop be funded and constructed. Fare collection and elevators/escalators for public access could be added later for a projected $6 million in project costs.

Congratulations to the 81st Avenue East Oakland Community Library on celebrating its first year of operation and service to both adults and children. The beautiful library was built in a neighborhood that was underserved, having never had a library before. It now provides essential school library service to almost 500 students attending two co-located elementary schools. Needless to say, the branch is receiving maximum use, with library events and learning programs wellattended, the Koret labs 30 computers getting regular use, and book circulation at a high level. Students also receive typing lessons, online instruction and report writing lessons, amongst many other learning activities. The 81st Avenue Library has proven to be an important resource for the East Oakland community and beyond.

Harley-Davidson Multi-Chamber Oakland Harley -Davidson Networking Mixer...It was a blast! Networking Mixer twor er...It was
That was the word from a smiling Rich Hennum of Star Protection Agency right after his Harley test drive at waters edge along Doolittle Drive. Arriving to the multi-chamber mixer at Oakland Harley-Davidson a little windblown, Rich confirmed his ride on a Harley Softail was the experience he hoped it would be. The networking mixer was co-hosted by AABA and Oaklands African-American Chamber, Chinatown Chamber, Hispanic Chamber, Metropolitan Chamber, Vietnamese Chamber, and Save Oakland Sports. See more photos of the Oakland Harley-Davidson event at http://coliseumscribbles.blogspot.com.

Thank you to Deborah Acosta of iDOTconnect.net for connecting the dots for Lighthouse School eleventh graders in explaining the life and career path that led her from college to a position with the City of Oakland, to now running her own company that connects people, business and resources. Lighthouse students now know there are, indeed, good jobs right here in Oakland waiting for those who work hard and set about devising a plan to attain their goals. With a lot of tenacity and a bit of innovative thinking, they might even attain the job of their dreams, whatever that might be.

New 375,000 Square Foot Facility Coming to Pardee Drive New 375,000 Square Foo Facility oot to Par ardee Drive
Goodman Group of Australia, in partnership with Birtcher Development & Investments of Irvine, CA, are calling Oakland a key target market, part of a $1.5 billion North American real estate investment strategy that includes development of a new $42 million, 375,000 square foot facility at 8350 Pardee Drive at Swan Way (on land that in the past served as off-site parking for Oakland International Airport). Construction of Oakland Airport Logistics Center will be complete in late 2013 and ready for use by a future tenant, yet to be determined. The Center will complement Horizon Beverages just-built distribution facility, also located at the end of Pardee, and feature 10,000 square feet of office space, 164 parking spaces, 92 docking doors, and an energy efficient, LEED-certified design. Birtcher is a privately-owned industrial and logistics real estate firm with a reputation as one of the most innovative and successful developers on the West Coast and more than 60 million square feet of warehouse, distribution, manufacturing and office projects throughout the US for customers such as Kroger, Nike, Xerox and GE. The Goodman Birtcher team see Oakland as one of three key West Coast logistics hubs, along with Los Angeles and Seattle, based on our citys proximity to a seaport, airport and intermodal transportation.
