Comment period is extended to Tuesday Aug 23rd.

I haven't read the Draft EIR yet, but based on Jason's comments, not only
does it ignore the public input, but also it violates the City Charter
language we all know and love:

* Provide priority to transit services in the utilization of streets,
particularly during commute hours;

* Facilitate the design and operation of City streets to enhance
alternative forms of transit, such as pedestrian, bicycle, and pooled
or group transit (including taxis);

* Propose and implement street and traffic changes that gives the
highest priority to impacts on public transit, pedestrians, commercial
delivery vehicles, and bicycles;

* Integrate modern information and traffic-calming techniques to
promote safer streets and promote usage of public transit; and

* Develop a safe, interconnected bicycle circulation network.

This is great, Jason, thanks for the public service -- of course I'm 
really sorry about your back, but that immobilized free time does 
have its benefits, glad you didn't fritter it all away on Grand Theft 
Auto San Ramon or Seinfeld reruns . . .
