Now I understand why Lauren Do is so in favor of every new tax that comes down the pike. She wants everyone to pay as much as it costs to live in Bayport! Misery loves company.

I don’t agree with destroying the trees. But in looking at some old postcards of Park Street, I was reminded that in the 1970′s, Park Street had virtually NO street trees! What Public Works giveth, Public Works taketh away.
And no poplar trees were cut down. Alameda should change its name to “Ginkotown”

awesome catch, even more interesting that they have the Bayport CFD in the example.

You can add Broadway to the list of streets where the speed limit is not followed, including by the big rigs that (ab)use it. I am starting to write about it at http://www.broadway25.org

Comment on Journal Editorial: Racism Still in Alameda by JPN

I think we should look into the hiring practices of Alameda businesses and then drive owners and executives out of town who have not voluntarily been open to people of all kinds. I hate to say it but Alameda can be thy Ty Cobb of the bay area at times and upstate New York is not for Alamedans. Please look at they businesses you frequent and judge them from the heart. Seek and you shall find, knock and the door will be open, but beyond the law, please opine on what you see.

Well said … City Council is filled with nitwits, who would’ve thought street improvements would include the deliberate destruction of 30 trees!!!!!! Only in Alameda.

Thanks for bringing this up. I called CalTrans today.
