There has been and is wide agreement that the activities (beach parties and kayaking) based in/on the Catellus East site are valuable to both residents and visitors -- the buildings and other obstructions of view and public use are not.

With creative planning and organization it will be possible to have both first class facilities for hosting beach parties and kayaking AND and an open Window on the Bay.

The following letters, plan and photos were sent to the Mayor and Council on 10/9/07 and 11/13/07. 

In addition, former Mayor Clyde Roberson, architect Nashwan Hamza, and community leader Sharon Dwight have submitted letters with very similar plans for Catellus East.

And on 12/01/07 letters to the Editor of the Herald by Harlan Mc Ginnis's and Richard Rccello were published.
