Berkeley’s People’s Park has been entered into the National Register of Historic Places for its association with student protests and countercultural activity in the 1960s.

Campus administration announced a collaborative effort with the city of Berkeley and local nonprofits to temporarily house People’s Park residents.

The People’s Park Council held a rally and street fair against UC People’s Park development plans outside Resources for Community Development offices.

California’s State Historical Resources Commission voted to recommend People’s Park be listed on the National Register of Historical Places on Friday.

UC Berkeley’s plans to convert People’s Park can now be brought to fruition, following approval from the UC Board of Regents. 

The UC Board of Regents approved UC Berkeley’s Long Range Development Plan, or LRDP, on Wednesday, more than a week after Berkeley City Council approved a $82.6 million tentative agreement with campus regarding pending litigation and housing projects.

The march comes as UC Berkeley continues its plans to construct student housing at People’s Park and 1921 Walnut St., a currently tenant-occupied building.

A new exhibit, “Building Bridges, Not Walls: Berkeley, America’s First Sanctuary City,” opened Sunday morning at the Veterans Memorial Building in Berkeley.

The United States Postal Service announced Monday that it has officially approved the relocation of the Berkeley Main Post Office downtown, due to the organization’s need to reduce its current multi-billion-dollar deficit.

Residents filled the Berkeley City Council Chambers to voice their concerns about the relocation of the downtown Berkeley Post Office during a public meeting Thursday.
