The local hotels, and especially the RV park, need a shuttle to BART. On TripAdvisor, not having easy access to BART is a deal-breaker when it comes to staying in Pacifica.
Great idea. With tourist-friendly hours.
Nice truck for $197,697.08 I hope we haggled. That's almost a third of what they said we needed to make up each year.
Hutch, have you ever come up with a constructive solution, or do you just whine?
I actually wouldn't mind a few investments that recognized that improved tourism is much more related to our economy than our stupid "our environment is our economy" tradition for the past decade.
whoa whoa whoa is that snazzy $200,000 truck with the sewer drain auger going to double as the new, improved shuttle vehicle? I'm all for thinking outside the box and we do need tourists and their dollars, but this is a connection I would not have imagined. Bold thinking, Pacifica. Audacious.
So sorry to insult your fancy sewer cleaning truck Anon 218.
Item 9, proposed city shuttle grant. To make up the needed 25% city fees, Recology is willing to pay $7,500 per year. The Chamber of Commerce will potentially figure-out how to attach other businesses. More city fees, tough on business in this city.
But with Recology, all those fees and services already collected from this city, who pays? You've got it, those of us who pay that bill.
If the money can be found, give the thing a good test run, advertise it well, count the ridership and see if it's really worth it. And don't rush out and buy a new vehicle. Recycle something.
