BUSD Bus Depot at 1325 Sixth St.
August 15, 2005 Update
Per Mark Rhoades (Planning Dept Manager), this project will likely NOT have an Environmental Impact Study/Review. He says this is due mostly to its “scale.” This is frustrating considering it will impact traffic and air quality.

Apparently this project is moving ahead. It may be a bit worrisome considering the multiple point and mobile pollution sources already concentrated in this area. Since Jan. 2005, the city of Berkeley is no longer using 100% Bio-diesel. Even if all the buses are using the 50/50 Low Sulfur blend, 32 or so buses reving up their motors every morning and afternoon isn’t going to be pleasant. The project will likely start up in Nov. with Design Review/ZAB hearings.
Neighbors within a 300 ft. radius should be notified for ZAB etc. Or if you’d like, email Chris Wolf for more info: CWolf@ci.berkeley.ca.us
