SB 1316 (Glazer) – Alameda-Tesla Expansion Area passed the Senate and made it through the Assembly to the Appropriations Committee, but was not released from suspense and is, therefore, considered dead for this session.  In the final stages California State Parks communicated their opposition to the bill. 

Although SB 1316 did not make it through the Legislature this session, we remain committed to permanently protecting Tesla. We will continue to advocate for a change in state policy and work to open new opportunities in the new year.  In the meantime, the litigation challenging the OHMVR plan to expand Carnegie SVRA and open Tesla to damaging OHV recreation continues, so we move forward on all fronts.

Thank you for all of your help and support to Save Tesla Park. We knew it would take time – with your help we will press forward and ultimately succeed. 

At Tesla, Fall is coming.

One reason why we need to protect Tesla

More Bay Area Legislators have joined the call encouraging State Parks to act on the Alameda County Altamont Landfill Open Space Committee buy-back opportunity to purchase Tesla Park in a July 20, 2017 letter. 

We strongly support this proposal as a way to permanently preserve Tesla Park. 

Please help build more legislative support for this sale/purchase proposal. Get your Legislator to sign on if they have not already, and thank them for taking this important step to protect Tesla Park with no OHV use.
