Sewage in Golden Gate Park

by David Grace (dpgrace [at] hotmail.com)
Sewage line hit by demolition crew in Golden Gate Park Thursday morning.
Moments ago demolition crews near the new De Young museum hit water and sewer lines, spewing vast quantities into the playground, tunnel and woods at Fulton & 10th Ave.

Heavy equipment was used to punch holes through the tunnel, but the bit punctured water and sewage lines that run through the floor of the tunnel. The flow has thousands of gallons running downhill into the playground.

The Alliance for Golden Gate Park, which had obtained a restraining order against the development, can be reached at 415 687 3090 for futher updates.

The remaining half of the northeast tunnel is being demolished this morning, with virtually no securty on site.

The two southern tunnels remain at risk. A John Deere 310 backhoe was digging into the side of the bowl next to the Southwest tunnel at 8:30 this morning.

There is nothing in place to protect these tunnels from demolition, unless people are willing to take a stand and physically take possession of the tunnels and reopen the soutern half of the concourse to the public access.

If you witness any further movement towards excavating the either of the southern tunnels, call the Alliance for Golden Gate Park and let them know: 661-7927.
