Unanticipated Delays
— by Jeffrey Wisniewski — 25 August 2010 — 2 comments below »
Last summer the City published a project fact sheet for the Intermodal Station (screencap below), and its first and last bullet points are telling in light of the station’s delayed construction (emphasis added)…
- Hercules Intermodal Transit Center Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and the Waterfront Project EIR are being prepared concurrently and should be released for public review by the end of 2009.
- Construction will start on the retaining walls and utility relocations in the second quarter of 2010, barring any unanticipated delays!
Where is the accountability in government?
There are some reasons to be concerned that the city is once again engaged in secretive and destructive actions that threaten to delay or even derail all construction on the Waterfront. The things I have heard and seen recently are very discouraging and put the city’s management in a deservedly bad light. There will be a meeting at 6:30 PM TONIGHT, Thursday, August 26, at Hercules-by-the-Bay Clubhouse, where the developer will present the problems as they see them. This is really a meeting for the Promenade HOA, so there will be a need to conduct HOA business at the outset of the meeting, but the presentation by the developer that follows will be open to anyone who is interested.
