Alert: Move City Vehicles Parked Downtown to City Center West Garage

OPW/DOT Alert: all City vehicles parked outside in the downtown area should be moved today to the City Center West Garage (CCWG) located at 12th Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Way, due to demonstrations planned for 8:00 pm tonight at Frank H. Ogawa Plaza. Vehicles should be moved to CCWG today (Friday 10/10) and remain parked there through end of day Monday 10/13, or until further notice.

Follow these guidelines when entering and exiting the City Center West Garage:

  • All City vehicles should enter the CCWG using the entrance on Martin Luther King Jr. Way and proceed past the “Staff Only Parking” sign to the basement level of the garage.
  • Send an email with the subject “Parking at CCWG” and a message with the employee name, vehicle number, vehicle license plate and department to mford@oaklandca.gov.
  • The garage is now gateless (using vehicle license plates for monthly permits and daily passes), so proceed directly to the lower level of the garage after entering. No further action is required when the vehicle exits and or reenters the garage during this period.

If you have any questions regarding access to the garage, you can text message Michael Ford in OakDOT at (510) 410-2680
