Walking Around Bayview and Digesting the EIR
We spent a few hours today at Arc Ecology, slowly trying to comprehend 4000 pages of the Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) that was recently released for our Bayview neighborhood’s “redevelopment”. If you are inspired to read it yourself, you can download the entire EIR document here on the SF Planning Department’s website. The plan is entitled: Candlestick Point-Hunters Point Shipyard Phase II Development Project (formerly known as the “Bayview Waterfront Project”) Draft EIR.
If you start reading today, you will only have to read about 170 pages each day if you want to finish it by the time the public comment period is over. The allotted time in which we are allowed to give our input ends on the third day of Kwanzaa, in just twenty-six days. Many neighborhood residents and activists are demanding a 90 day extension on the public comment period, which hopefully will be granted. Two hearings are scheduled on December 15 and 17 at SF City Hall for public comment.
My Brain Hurts
My brain is so full from all of the redevelopment information that I have ingested in the last few days, that I can not see straight. I have been reading through countless EIR pages, and also spoke in depth with Arc Ecology’s Chief Executive Officer, Saul Bloom, about the complicated history of the project. Next week I will post more information about the upcoming hearings, specifics pertaining to the entire Draft EIR document, and how to make your own public comment about this proposed plan.
