Albany
Albany is a city of 20,000 on the East Bay shoreline just north of Berkeley — a dense, progressive, fiercely independent small city with top-rated schools and a beloved waterfront park built on a former landfill. Incorporated 1908, governed by a five-member Council, one of the Bay Area's most walkable communities.

Alameda CTC Programs and Projects Committee met yesterday
The Alameda CTC Programs and Projects Committee held a meeting yesterday, continuing its role in overseeing transportation programs and projects across Alameda County. While this committee's work covers the broader county, its decisions and discussions can influence regional transportation planning and funding that affect Albany residents.
Albany residents should also note upcoming Albany City Council meetings scheduled for July 6 and July 20, 2026, where local issues will be addressed. These meetings provide opportunities for community input and updates on city governance. While no new city-specific news was reported recently, ongoing topics like the Real Property Transfer Tax ballot measure and wildfire resilience efforts at Albany Hill remain important issues to watch in the coming months.
