The City’s request for CEQA exemption will be heard in Department 2 tomorrow at 9:00 am, the Honorable Barbara Zuniga presiding. Our hopes have been elevated from the status of a snowball’s chance in hell, to the status of a really big snowball’s chance in Texas.
Day: October 7, 2008
This morning the parking on Castro between Escobar and Main Street was blocked off for work. They are removing the trees on the street and the parking meters to make access for the huge crane that is coming. Never mind about any ordinance of road closures. Never mind that if the crane operated from the bridges we could save trees AND parking meters. This is an emergency. There’s no time to think clearly.
So the city entourage including two attorneys, Dave Scola and “Everything will be fine” beaver-man Julian Frazer made a crash appearance on the courtroom today, arguing that there was no work being done at all so there was nothing to be “stayed”. Guess who else showed up with them? The litigious property owner who is making the city tremble in their boots. Apparent those crazy kids might just make it work out after all. The judge, in the face of such determined liars, agreed and said it should be reviewed with the CEQA standards tomorrow at 1:30 pm. In the mean time here are some pictures of the days work that was never done. The fellow with the ear piece was moving around writing down which trees would be taken, obviously the project manager or engineer.
