Little Known Agencies Set To Approve 'Plan Bay Area'

Process envisions 2 million new residents swelling the region's population to 9 million by 2040.


The Metropolitan Transportation Commission and the Association of Bay Area Governments will meet Thursday to finalize "Plan Bay Area," a process that sets targets for housing growth and transportation infrastructure for the entire region.

The groups meet at 6:30 pm Thursday, July 18, at the Oakland Marriott. Click here for the agenda, which links to the background materials.
