man, how many movies and TV shows have used this fountain and plaza

Also 2 pedestrian bridges including one to local high school. The ROW is 100 feet wide so there are about 14 acres from end to end.

Imagine if this was a greenway with a daylit creek, beer garden, tennis courts, wider bike trail with exits left and right. No sound walls

Installing this road involved covering up a creek (runs underneath the road, hence the vents) as well as sound walls left and right, because cars going 40mph are really loud.

Right now they are doing expensive emergency maintenance because of chemicals in the creek

This has gotta be the most useless road in the East Bay. South Broadway was built in the 80's on abandoned Southern Pacific right of way. 1.2 miles, zero turnoffs left or right, 40mph, runs adjacent to the Danville Blvd & South Main road which is 200 yards over

The Blue Line Extension that the author gives as an example of NEPA "working well" took over 11 years to complete the environmental impact statement https://charlottenc.gov/cats/transit-planning/blue-line-extension/Pages/feis.aspx https://twitter.com/hamandcheese/status/1620081748737675265

Including housing at Orinda BART would be better for the environment, but people would have to look at apartments downtown (Ugh!) so we're going to stick with no BART http://orindaca.iqm2.com/Citizens/FileOpen.aspx?Type=1&ID=2174&Inline=True
In April 2022 HCD sent a technical assistance letter to Temple City. Notably, HCD takes the position that SB 9 rules can't be more restrictive than R-1 rules relating to FAR, heights, unit sizes, etc. https://eastbayforeveryone.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/2022-04-29-temple-city-technical-assistance.pdf

If NYT story is accurate, this is how the news of Durham investigating *literally Donald Trump* was greeted at the time. All of this was cited in contemporary coverage.

Orinda just released a new draft Housing Element which likely contains good news but I am scared to open it
