Please contact the Mayor at 554-7111 or gavin.newsom@sfgov.org and tell him you want Healthy Saturdays in the Park!

San Francisco Port Authority favors 3 Combustion Turbines that is against the Burton Act The San Francisco Port Authority (SFPA) favors dirty, toxic spewing Combustion Turbines that will be placed at Pier 80. The Public Trust Act and the Burton Act mandate Maritime Use and Recreational Facilities that are health and clean and favor the constitutents of San Francisco. The SFPA has again and again favored dirty industries that pollute and now is adding the 3 Combustion Turbines that will slowly kill thousands of innocent people that will be exposed to the particulates.

The Transfer of Parcel A at Hunters Point and related issues The transfer of Parcel A on Hunters Point under the direction of former Mayor Willie L. Brown Jr. and Sophie Maxwell has come to haunt San Francisco. One must remember that the constituents of San Francisco voted by over 87% to clean up the entire Hunters Point Shipyard to residential standards. That has not happened. The SF Board of Supervisors, the SF Planning Department, the SF Redevelopment Agency, and of course Lennar Bayview Hunters Point LLC all have agreed to build 1600 homes in the m...

Hunters Point Power Plant will be decommissioned soon - abatement issues unclear Hunters Point Power Plant will soon be decommissioned. We are hoping the same will happen with Mirant Power Plant by Dog Patch. We are concerned now about abatement issues and have discussed some of them at the Stakeholders' Meeting. With some reliable Transmission Lines in place we do not want added toxic spewing fuel assisted Combustion Turbines. 3 are slated to be placed at Pier 80 on land prone to liquefaction and more very toxic ground. We should take a holistic approach when it comes to...
