Simple correspondent Walter Connolly has filed this report from his bunker overlooking the Point Richmond Gateway project and the controversy surrounding it.

The planning design review approved a park, but the permit set of drawings has replaced the park with parking. The parking there would count toward the required parking for the for-profit project (the "plunge parcel" project)!

Tom Butt has gone after people who have changed their plans after review and how he is doing the same thing??

I have asked the planning department about this change from design review to the permit set and they have not reponded...yet!!! It takes about two minutes to see that it has changed.

Point Richmond Gateway, LLC and a non-profit subsidiary control the blocked-off section of Cutting and the vacant triangular lot across from the Plunge. The company has big plans.
