Candlestick Cove project rejected

The Examiner discusses how the Board of Supervisors have refused to allow a project to move forward on Candlestick Point due to concerns over multiple items.

“The Planning Department needs to answer more questions,” said Supervisor Sophie Maxwell, who represents the area that includes the Candlestick Cove project at Executive Park. Maxwell said the 433-unit project is part of about 1,500 new housing units slated for the Visitacion Valley and adjacent areas, and that the building boom would make the neighborhood’s population swell by 30 percent over the coming years.

Sometimes the Supervisors ask good questions. I think it is important to make sure that there is important infrastructure in place prior to building a large-scale development in an as-yet under-developed area of the city.
