Redevelopment throws Arc Ecology under the bus | San Francisco Bay Guardian
No one was really surprised when the Redevelopment Commission voted 4-0 not to renew Arc Ecology’s contract to provide environmental information services regarding remediation plans at Hunters Point Shipyard and award it to Circle Point.
Sad and disgusted, yes. But surprised, no. That’s because everyone expected that Commissioners Leroy King, Darshan Singh, Rick Swig and Francee Covington, who are all appointees of Mayor Gavin Newsom, would throw Arc under the bus as payback for Arc’s decision to comment on the EIR for Lennar’s Candlestick Point/shipyard redevelopment plan and oppose the giving away of state parklands so Lennar could build luxury condos.
“The message was that we shouldn’t have commented ” Arc’s executive director Saul Bloom told the Guardian after the Commission vote went down. “But this you’re-either-on-our-side-or-out-of-a-contract attitude is completely bogus. It’s tactics that Republicans use against Democrats.”

Blocking the bridge
Suit over Lennar EIR could force changes in bridge on Yosemite Slough
San Francisco Bay Guardian

The Sierra Club and Golden Gate Audubon Society have sued to block the final environmental impact report on the Lennar Corp. redevelopment project, a move that could force reconsideration of a bridge over Yosemite Slough.
The suit against the city, Board of Supervisors, and Redevelopment Agency charges that the final EIR for Lennar's Candlestick Point-Hunters Point Shipyard project was inadequate, in part because it didn't consider all the impacts of the bridge or look properly at alternatives.
The move comes as no big surprise: these environmental groups vowed to file a suit within 30 days of the city's August certification of the project EIR. But advocates hope it will lead to a change in the proposal.
Arthur Feinstein, a member of the Sierra Club's San Francisco Bay Chapter, said the EIR didn't comply with the California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA.
The introduction to the Sierra Club suit notes that "the FEIR failed to identify or underestimated the significance of environmental impacts associated with the project; failed to address the alternative proposed by Arc Ecology, which provides for a bus rapid transit route around Yosemite Slough; and failed to provide adequate responses to comments on the draft EIR."
