According to West Oakland residents, environmental activists and some air district staff, the proposed facility could come at a cost to the health of neighborhood residents.
But now the advocates who brought that complaint are raising the alarm that a new proposal to build an open-air sand and gravel storage facility on port property goes against the spirit of that agreement and will cause further harm against the health of the area’s predominantly Black and Brown residents.
According to port memos, the proposed facility would provide “much needed construction materials, all of which will be used for many local construction projects that support housing, the local economy, and local jobs.” Building the facility would also eliminate some truck parking, which could result in more trucks spewing exhaust around West Oakland streets as they struggle to park, the group contends.
