More time needed to study impacts of proposed A’s ballpark, groups claim

Community groups are demanding more time to respond to the 6,000-page environmental report for the proposed waterfront Oakland A’s stadium and housing project at Charles P. Howard Terminal.

Oakland extended the 45-day comment period by 15 days to April 27, but about two dozen community groups assert this is still not enough time to adequately review and respond to the colossal environmental impact report on the proposed 35,000-seat stadium and 3,000-unit housing project. The project also includes 2 million square feet for retail and other businesses.
