I believe that this lot is actually a private lot for the businesses on International Blvd (in the former Wells Fargo Bank, and the bakery on the corner). I also heard that there's a possibility that they're planning on using it as a paid-lot, similar to the ones around the downtown area.

This lot is Unity Council was fixed as parking but unfortunately it ended five months ago to build and to date remains closed

Ok. Then you need to check with someone at the Unity Council office and see if they even still own it. They could have sold/traded it off.

????????

I actually checked with the Unity Council, and they do not own this property any longer. It is now (as of about several months ago), City of Oakland property. (My guess is that they will probably open it for use once the BRT (A.C. TRANSIT) Project is complete.)
