Pacifica Tribune letters to the editor, 8/27/13. "Fairmont stepchild" by Victor Spano
| Fairmont, Manor, Sharp Park, Linda Mar What's the big deal you've got the freeway and Daly City |
.... "What is astonishing to me,
though, is that none of the projects are in my neighborhood, Fairmont,
Westview or other Skyline neighborhoods. I pose the question to our
council members: What about Skyline Boulevard, it could stand for some
improvements, it is often congested, bumper to bumper between Manor and
Hickey during commute hours?.
There have been a number of collisions at
the Hickey / Skyline intersection, including a fatal pedestrian strike.
Skyline is Caltrans bailiwick, but could Pacifica be proactive with
neighboring jurisdictions to work with Caltrans on looking at improving
Skyline Boulevard?. One of the candidates in the last council election
talked about a sound wall to help those residents living on Gateway last
fall, and I agree with him, that's a great idea for Skyline --
attractively designed soundwall(s) would benefit the neighbors of that
freeway (north of Hickey) and two lane road (south of Hickey).
| Stepchild okay, I'm smart and beautiful |
.... Why are the benefits of
capital improvements only located and benefiting the areas of Pacifica
down the hill?. This town is more than those areas Can a more
"City-wide approach" to capital project planning be implemented so that
all neighborhoods may benefit evenly from Capital Improvement Projects?
One of my elder neighbors, an original Fairmont owner observed, I am
paraphrasing, "Fairmont is the unwanted stepchild of Pacifica." Perhaps
he was being melodramatic, but I kind of get this feeling too." Read more.
Note photographs: from North Carolina Dance Theatre, and NASDAQ the ugly stepchild index. The first paragraph of this article was separated into two for easier reading.

What about back in the valley? Oh wait the senior assisted living center will never be built.
And Oddstad school will sit empty for years.
Frontier Park is teenage wasteland.
What's the point of those stupid pictures?
812, the "stupid pictures" got your attention, and amused the poster. Now if you only had a flexible enough brain to focus on the letter-to-the-editor article issues, we might all be "smarter".
That's the point, got it now? Otherwise, I could post a related article with picture just for you. Would that help you understand my view of your repeated theme question? Alternatively, you could submit to the blog your own choice of article (with or without picture). Looking forward to you doing that!
I thought the stupid picture was funny. I thought it looked like Danny Bonaduce!
I'm liking both of the pictures. Very Pacifica. Goofy, impractical dancers from the 'Let Them Eat Cake/Buy Me a Library' crowd and a tattooed, unkempt looking child with serious proportion problems. Nothing to support that big head. Now, doesn't that say Pacifica?
