@SFBaySierraClub
My post for the Sierra Club on Point Molate. Richmond is rich in transit - BART, Amtrak, bus corridors, & ferry. It needs housing served by these modes, not a new suburb on shoreline parkland. @WhollyH2o@ptmolate@eastshorepark
We salute the leadership demonstrated by @supejohngioia on June 17th, when he led a large majority of the @sfbcdc in deferring for four months its consideration of an ill-conceived development plan for Point Molate in Richmond.

Don't forget about Pt. Molate!
During this time when Bay Area cases are down, vaccinations are up, & we are enjoying increased outings, our awareness environmental issues may go unnoticed. Much work still to do for our future.
It's always something else when Richmond graces the big newspapers, isn't it.
Interesting article about pressure on Chevron (and some of you may recognize this Richmond Chevron station)

Keep it wild, keep it open, keep it public.

Most of us don't take the time to truly observe birds closely - and they are so quick to take off! It's truly an impressive bird photograph. A wonderful home they have at Pt. Molate
FMC = "Fuel moisture content"
California is ready to burn.
Fuel moisture content of wood in our forests is at a record low.
sfgate.com/bayarea/article/f…
Fire season 2021 is looking grim. Our region's FMCs are tracking lower than the minimum-- a new record low. This is caused by the lack/delay of new growth. Average is 137%, low is 115%, 2021= 97% #wildfire#CAwx@wildfirecenter
Let the Richmond City Council know that it’s time for Pt Molate to get the Presidio treatment that Richmond residents deserve.
