Main street, Palmetto Avenue


Pacifica Tribune Letters to the Editor print edition, week of April 6, 2016. "Pacifica's own jewel" by Jim Wagner

Palmetto "old town" main street
Comfortable, charming walk area
"Converting a vacant, shut down, sewer plant is, of all things, going to give Pacifica its first walkable retail area and  -- dare I say it -- a real main street that every other town in the area enjoys. This is going to be a real jewel ... finally.

Pacifica deserves this after so many years of staring at an empty pit and an old stone wall. We will have a "there, there." A real destination on the coast."

    Who is the biggest private land owner on Palmetto? And, specifically, that section from IBL to the golf course. I know someone has the info.

    This will never ever happen. Don't be naive people its an election year. False promises and smoke and mirrors. Even the very first phase the underground utility was a failure because they only did a tiny bit of Palmetto.

    Plus the library bond will fail in November.

    My dream for Palmetto is a Business district that starts at Manor Shopping Center processed down Palmetto,wraps around Claridon and back up Francisco. This would create an ocean front economic engine miles long with two freeway exits for access. Shops,Hotels,restaurants,and recreation. $$$$

    Have you discussed this farsighted vision with some of your friends, Tom?

    How do you get rid of the toxic waste at the auto wreckers? How does the city get the money to buy these properties and or move them? City of Pacifica mortgaged the pot they piss in to the hilt.
    No one in city hall has the knowledge nor will to make this city great.

    It's all hat no cattle.

    Word on the street is, you are forming an exploratory committee to run for city council?

    Is word on the street true?

    Hey Tom,

    I suggested the very same idea on Fix Pacifica many many posts ago. I am glad there are believers in the concept. If you would like support, do let me know and I will make an effort to introduce myself to you in person.
