Members of the public will get a chance to comment on the plan and suggest issues that should be studied in the city’s environmental impact report. The proposal calls for a 39,000-seat stadium nestled along the Lake Merritt Channel and the Oakland Estuary, surrounded by housing, retail, and office space. Traffic issues are sure to be among the top concerns for the proposed project, the Trib notes.
