That bridge would be an enormous benefit to the City and if Alameda Measure B money could help us now that redevelopment is gone that sounds like something we should be pursuing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-29110361377176693602012-06-17T10:56:48.929-07:002012-06-17T10:56:48.929-07:00Ken's claim of a standard gauge is a bit fatuo...Ken's claim of a standard gauge is a bit fatuous. There are numerous "standard" railroad gauges, actually hundreds if I'm not mistaken, so I'm not sure what he is trying to get at with that point.Brian Donahuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12705682112476904502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-17833093414815626382012-06-17T10:14:45.073-07:002012-06-17T10:14:45.073-07:00I see it differently.

For example, it is not true that in every other region in the country the COG handles transportation funds. This is not true in virtually the entire state of Texas. It is also not true that every train in the world in standard gauge except BART. There are public transit trains in Philadelphia that are not standard gauge. There are other notable examples as well. Ken seems like he is stringing questionable facts together to develop a conspiracy theory just to struggle to remain politically relevant. Quentin Kopp sabotaged the South Bayfront Bike Bridge? Uh huh. Ken is grasping at straws. I don't want him claiming to represent me as a property owner. He does not. I don't think he even owns property here himself anymore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-76059936248683692462012-06-16T22:48:12.772-07:002012-06-16T22:48:12.772-07:00Ken seems to be emerging as a very knowledgeable p...Ken seems to be emerging as a very knowledgeable property owners/residents advocate.Michael Webberhttp://conditionemeryville.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-52835238778028912192012-06-15T20:20:55.717-07:002012-06-15T20:20:55.717-07:00It makes me sick to see the city pay 2 million dol...It makes me sick to see the city pay 2 million dollars just to think about something even though in all likelyhood it is all a pipe dream. For 2 million, they could have hired a night time security guard for 50 years at the underground crossing behind Target. As a city, why can't we be humble instead of living beyond our means?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
