Rockridge Community Planning Council

Community-Led Initiatives for the Betterment of Rockridge

Our nonprofit’s board is elected by the local community and serves to improve the neighborhood for those who live, work, and visit here.

RCPC’s focus areas include land use, transportation, and quality-of-life issues. We advocate for changes with the City, and work collaboratively with local merchants via the Rockridge District Association, the Neighborhood Crime Prevention Council, Friends of the Library, and Friends of the Rockridge-Temescal Greenbelt.

We also publish the monthly The Rockridge News, a vehicle for keeping our community informed, engaged, and connected.

Rockridge Roundup

Visit Blog & Submission Info
The highlight of my time on the RCPC was working on the activation of College Avenue. Rockridge was still rebuilding from the disruption of Highway 24 and BART, which divided the community. Finding opportunities for ground-floor retail, restaurants, and services was critical for creating activity in the neighborhood.
— Brooke Levin, RCPC Board, 1987–1991
