OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- There's a new bid to overturn the decision to expand Oakland Zoo.

The Friends of Knowland Park are campaigning for a referendum to let the people of Oakland decide how the parkland should be used.

This comes after a recent city council decision set aside 53 acres of parkland for an easement that paves the way for the zoo expansion.
