It's also like the old "rip and read", the "quick and dirty" means the old radio announcers pretended to get the new out from the AP/UPI Teletypes. That article in the Trib about the City Council special Sunday "Study Session" was virtually just a summary of the documents the submitted by the Departments Heads, the meat and potatoes of the front page article, I think that could have been better placed inside with more what the public wanted the Council Members to hear, for instance my "3-Minutes" wasn't even mentions, and I made some valid points of how interaction, cooperation and joint operations with the Water Department, GGNRA, City and Council of San Francisco and the adjacent City of San Bruno, and use of the Vallemar Police Station for placement of fire equipment to better serve the Central and Southern Parts of Pacifica, that San Bruno Engine-52 Could come over from the end of Sneath Lane from the San Francisco Jail Site by-passing ALL traffic on a possibly jammed Coast Highway-1, and that those self-same back roads of the San Francisco Watershed could double as an emergency escape route for both Linda Mar, Fassler and the Valleymar areas in the event off a necessary earthquake-tsunami evacuation. I's just basic geography, but why the coverage of my many recommendations was omitted I guess you will have to ask the new publisher. <br /><br />Thank you,<br /><br />Gary J.

It was 355 houses." Anonymous 8:09 am.<br /><br />No, it was TRAFFIC. And as stated prior, I heard it for myself.<br /><br />Peebles Corporation only walked away from commercial when the City Council subcommittee (Vreeland, Lancelle) failed to "negotiate" in any meaningful way after 1 year of not many "talks". <br /><br />With all the preliminary studies Peebles Corporation made and advertising, its clear to me Peebles intended to build the quarry. Peebles Corporation could have sued the city for an artificial wetland created by the city on the quarry property (similar to Half Moon Bay), they didn't do that. <br /><br />Again, the then NIMBY city council and city NIMBY spin machine with their <a href="http://www.pacificaquarry.org/taxonomy/term/20/" rel="nofollow">outside city friends</a> prevailed. The city and the people of Pacifica lost this major economic advantage, in favor of nothing positive and a limited future. That's why we talk about it, Anonymous 9:49 am.
