12 <br /> <br />room hotel, restaurants and banquet space, about 500 housing units, outdoor amenities, <br />improvements to Doolittle Drive, and an updated Mulford-Marina Branch Library. The project <br />also includes a premier waterfront park that will transform the area. This was an element that <br />the community stated was a priority, and it’s exciting to see its design in the plans. This portion <br />of the project will create 15 acres of new open space parkland including bike lanes and pedestrian <br />pathways. <br />Just like nearly a decade ago when the City focused on reshaping the area near our Downtown <br />BART station, the Bay Fair TOD plan provides us with a 20-year vision to transform the Bayfair <br />Center and Bay Fair BART Station area. The plan includes a vision for shopping, community <br />amenities, and transportation access that will also include park space, housing, gardens, walkable <br />neighborhoods and activities for the residents. <br />A CITY WHERE KINDNESS MATTERS <br />As a city, we are strong because we value the diversity of our community, we work together to <br />overcome challenges, and because we treat each other with kindness and mutual respect. We <br />reject isolationism and xenophobia, and we celebrate the many different cultures and languages <br />and histories of the people who call San Leandro home. I also believe that the moral test of a <br />government is how it treats the most vulnerable residents and that every person deserves both <br />a fair shake, and a helping hand. <br />I have worked closely with the City Council and our entire staff to strengthen the fabric of our <br />community by helping the homeless get back on their feet, re-doubling our commitment to <br />inclusiveness in government, and giving everyone in San Leandro a chance to participate in how <br />their city is run. <br />
