Does the Menlo Park Planning Department consider the dangers of building large-scale projects on "land" that exists only because the SF Bay was filled in? We should be restoring the Bay, not covering it up with more buildings that do nothing to improve the lives of the people who live in this area. Builders are not normally concerned with the environment. Are the Menlo Park public employees equally focused on profit rather than action to plan for the effects of climare change?

By what legal authority could the city manager extend the deadline for breaking ground? The deal was negotiated. There was a public vote. And one guy can let bohannon off the hook? Was this dine in full sunshine or behind closed doors? Where's the rest of the story?

I also don't think Bohannon should have any right to mess with Bayfront Park. The City owns that and we pay with our taxes. I'd like to know how the Planning Commission thinks they can do this and if they try, I'm all for a recall or other form of public protest. He wants it pretty for his hotel and then MP will be managing, paying for the upkeep, etc.

It's time for a "Leave Bedwell Bayfront Park as the citizens want, damnit!" The millionaire stops here.
