Greetings Surfriders,
During the holidays we had received word that the
Alternative Analysis Report for the Lake Merced Tunnel is complete. After
weighing a relocation alternative for the 14 Foot Diameter pipe, SFPUC
management has apparently decided to keep the structure where it is - and to
build the Ocean Beach Master Plan protection device. This would be a “Taraval”
style seawall.
At our chapter meeting on February 6th (Sports Basement
1590 Bryant Street 7pm), we will hear from ESA engineer Bob Battalio who worked
on the AAR. Also, in attendance will be
Benjamin Grant, SPUR Ocean Beach Master Plan Project Manager. We encourage all members,
activists and supports to attend this meeting and ask questions about the
results of the report. Thanks for
checking in!
