Vision 980: Phase 1
Vision 980: Phase 1
During Phase 1 of the Vision 980 Study, Caltrans worked with the community to develop a vision and concept for the future of the I-980 facility.
Overview
Phase 1 of the Vision 980 Study included collaboration with study partners, community organizations, and the public to identify a new corridor concept and vision for transportation and land use along the I-980 corridor. During this phase, Caltrans also developed an evaluation framework to ensure the concept and vision met equity performance measures. Phase 1 was completed in November 2025.
Goals

- Develop equity outcomes that directly benefit West Oakland residents
- Foster a more sustainable West Oakland neighborhood
