The City Council will commence the design of the sewer system as it switches from the Pinole wastewater treatment facility to WCWD in Richmond. The preliminary design cost is $1.16m.

I prefer classic, traditional street names, and in the Hercules waterfront in particular, I am in favor of names with historical context or meaning. So what follows were my submissions in the Hercules Bayfront naming contest (the first phase of which runs [...]]]></description>

Through meeting after public meeting exhaustively discussing the train station, the building across the street was just a blank box. That is no longer the case. The developer AndersonPacific revealed their initial plans for the building during the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a somewhat remarkable turnabout, the City has released drawings of a redesigned café building that will be the focal point for the transit plaza in front of the Intermodal Station. The newly proposed design incorporates historical features (borrowing from the factory buildings that once stood on the site) and separates itself stylistically from the [...]]]></description>

The landscape design of Dynamite Square is now taking on a form that begins to make the transit plaza something special. Historic elements are starting to be incorporated into the square. The old powder factory had carts on tracks or wooden roadways that [...]]]></description>

It is the exact same as the one unveiled on December 17. (Just another day at Waterfront Watch.) At the beginning of the Q&#038;A portion of the workshop, I mentioned to the design team that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The cafe building was presented without alternative conceptual designs and without historical, railroad, local, or cafe precedents. The following paragraphs show three sources of inspiration to hopefully help guide the design. Historic train stations in small towns were buildings of a petite size appropriate for the cafe building. The large overhanging eaves, exposed rafter tails, [...]]]></description>
