Construction is supposed to take 3-4 years, so there’s definitely a delay…budget is the likely culprit. Like many counties, Alameda County has to be selective about how it spends money.

Thx, John Z.

I assume its been delayed, was that for budgetary reasons or something else? Any idea when construction will start? Is there someplace I could goto read more?

I highly doubt that most of the people being booked at the jail reside in this area. I think they would save even more in transportation costs if the jail was relocated to Oakland or Hayward.

It would sure save the county a lot of money on transportation cost. Wouldn’t a courthouse make sense next to a jail? It would sure save the county a lot of money on transportation cost.

Perhaps the best strategy is to raise very strong objections to the courthouse project as well. We all need to email the Planning Commission to voice our concerns and objections:PlanningCommission@ci.dublin.ca.usI also seem to remember that there was a vocal group organized against the Grafton Towers project some time ago, and it seems as though that project has been scaled back significantly. It sounds like organizing against this type of thing in our backyards may be the best way to stop this kind of nonsensical planning. I agree with the previous poster that any other city would be respectful enough to locate these things on the outskirts, or at least in an industrial setting properly secluded from residents.
