Tidelands Deal Cut

The Alameda City Council voted unanimously to renew the lease of the Alameda Marina for at least 25 years, at the city council meeting last Tuesday, May 1. The marina covers about 17 acres of both dry and submerged land north of the Oakland-Alameda Estuary and east of Grand Street, including privately owned upland parcel land owned by the Pacific Shops Inc. (PSI) since 2006. The lease requires PSI to make repairs and upgrades to the marina, and to possibly redevelop an adjacent property, known as the "tidelands." The property is along Clement Avenue between Willow Street and Alameda Marina Drive.
