I attended, briefly, the Open House put on by the Navy re TI hazmat cleanup on Tuesday, 2/20. It quickly became clear there were better "venues" with regard to addressing windsurfing related issues. I was told about the TI Development Authority (TIDA), with URL:
http://www.ci.sf.ca.us/treasureisland/authority/authority_2001.htm
and a "Citizens Advisory Board (CAB)" which advises the TIDA, and itself meets on the 3rd Thursday of the month in the Dept. of Labor Bldg. on TI.
I'm curious if anyone from "our group" is attending either TIDA or CAB meetings, and what the status of windsurf launch and future development issues might be from their perspectives?
I took the opportunity to explore a bit and found the launch site on the NE tip of the island (best address is 14th and Avenue I, at end of the Avenue). There is large boat ramp, behind about a 20ft high breakwater that extends out about 50 yards, creating major wind shadow issue. Parking seems quite nice (no bad signs noticed), but a gate has been installed that keeps cars away from ramp, so about a 50ft walk to actual launch. I saw several SF police cars roaming island, and stopped one to inquire about direction to Casa Vista, with no "attitude" detected. Of course, I didn't have my gear visible.
I also picked up very nice map provided by Navy which shows the boat ramp/breakwater, which I'll try pasting (JPEG). But I expect this won't work with a listserve?
No, it didn't work, so this is being re-sent without attachment.....
