Old San Lorenzo boundaries set today in Oakland
Oakland supervisors set the outlines for the proposed city of Old San Lorenzo covering about one third of a square mile. They rejected Jan 10 as election date due to close registration deadlines, noting April 10 likely for the city elections. The boundaries run along San Lorenzo Creek, Hesperian Boulevard, and Western Pacific railroad tracks. The area includes San Lorenzo High School and the San Lorenzo Elementary School district headquarters. Gerald D. Cochran proposed the Jan 10 date but did not attend, and the county clerk was to report polling places and registration timing next Tuesday.
