Union City

Union City is a city of 72,000 in southern Alameda County between Fremont and Hayward — a diverse, working-class community with a large Filipino and South Asian population anchored by a BART station driving transit-oriented redevelopment. Incorporated 1959, governed by a five-member Council.

The Alameda County Transportation Commission's Programs and Projects Committee met yesterday to discuss ongoing and upcoming transportation initiatives affecting the county, including areas around Union City. This committee plays a key role in overseeing project funding and prioritization that can impact local transit and infrastructure development.

Looking ahead, Union City residents have two upcoming City Council meetings on September 8 and September 22, where local governance issues will be addressed. While no recent city-specific decisions have been reported, ongoing tracked issues such as housing production targets, the city manager transition, and the Climate Action Plan update remain important topics for community attention. Residents following regional transportation developments should note the recent county committee meeting as it may influence future projects in Union City.
