University unveils final draft of Long Range Development Plan 

The University has released the final draft of the Long Range Development Plan yesterday. The plan calls for a 2.2 million square feet, featuring the new Tien Center for East Asian Studies and quite possibly a hotel/conference center and university museum project on the blocks west of campus. The plan still awaits approval by the UC Regents, who will hear it on the 18th.

Meanwhile, mayor Tom Bates has said he will fight the expansion. His major concerns include problems with increased traffic and uncertainty about where the buildings will be built and how they will affect quality of life in those regions.
