WHAT ABOUT THE MOSQUITOES???" Everyone who lives near Sharp Park is keenly aware of the helicopters that fly low over Sharp Park's wetlands every three weeks in the spring, summer, fall and sometimes in a mild winter. They are dropping larvicide to kill mosquitoes before they hatch, and later the County does ground spraying of the area with pesticide to kill the mosquitoes who survived the larvicide and hatched. Mosquitoes can carry West Nile virus, a sometimes debilitating and/or fatal disease. Expanding the wetlands to benefit the frogs and snakes increases the danger of mosquito-borne disease to humans and their pets, including horses. It is beyond me why our suit-happy Cecilia Quick and City Council don't just sue SF to protect the public safety. This whole thing got started because CBD threatened suit over the Endangered Species Act. Funny thing, even the ESA doesn't sacrifice people for frogs and/or snakes, and neither do SF's own laws (based upon the S. F. Precautionary principle:
