Measure 'L'
This is the first step of many at
considering building a town center in the abandoned quarry.
Voting yes only allows our Planning
Commission, City Council, Coastal Commission, Fish & Game, Caltrans, and
other agencies to objectively consider the project in an open public forum.
Contrary to rumors, voting yes on 'L' is NOT
a blank check. voting yes on 'L' does NOT circumvent the process. Pacifica
residents will always have the final say on this project. If a bad deal is
approved by our city council and the Coastal Commission then the residents
of Pacifica can kill this project with a simple majority vote within the
referendum process.
Please do not kill this project before we
even get a chance to consider it. Not only would a town center with
shops and restaurants increase our quality of life, it will bring a great
amount of needed revenue to our city.
Pacifica can require any project that gets approved in the quarry to
mitigate it's share of traffic. The traffic on Highway 1 will continue to
get worst with or without a project in the quarry. But a project in the
quarry will bring needed revenue to help design and improve Highway 1.
I will be voting Yes on 'L' and I encourage everyone to Vote yes on 'L'.
Pacifica is not really sticking their necks out to far when you consider the
residents still have the final decision with the referendum process.
Sincerely,
David Blackman
