Croll’s Pizzeria is distributing the “Alameda Future Chronicles” – a sarcastic look at Measure B. Proponents of SunCal’s land development plan for Alameda Point – roughly 5,000 new homes in a high-density, transit-oriented format – like to cite the need to reduce the public’s reliance on automobiles fueled by gasoline (i.e. oil.) But what happens to this approach when cars go electric, electric charging stations are as numerous as gas stations today, and the electric power is generated from renewable resources? Alameda Firefighters Local 689 let us know via Facebook that they are shaving their heads to support the St. Baldrick’s Foundation – “Shaving the Way to Conquer Kids’ Cancer.” Updated, January 26th, 3:25pm – A Catellus spokesperson declined to comment, citing a policy of not commenting on market rumors or speculation.

On January 15th, in accordance with a provision in their Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA) with the City of Alameda, SunCal submitted to the City an alternate development plan for Alameda Point. Now, the City of Alameda is withholding from the public a key document – the revised development agreement. |
