Appeal on Alameda Towne Center Expansion

On August 11, 2008, the Alameda Planning Board approved the following for Alameda Towne Centre:

o An Environmental Impact Report which ignores the true impact of increased traffic, noise and air pollution from the shopping center

o Extended Hours of Operation which allow businesses to operate from 6 a.m. to midnight. (more traffic, noise and crime)

o 24 Hour Truck Deliveries (down our residential streets!)

o 24 Hour Maintenance which includes a parking lot sweeper, leaf blower, and power washer (What city allows leaf blowers at 3 a.m.?)

An appeal has been filed by residents and will be heard by the Alameda City Council on Oct 7, 2008 at 7:30 p.m. at City Hall. It is critical that you attend this hearing to voice your concerns and get these approvals denied.
