News from North California - Saving Bay Meadows

The appeal by the "Save Bay Meadows"Committee was heard before the 1stDistrict Court of Appeals on September 19. By all accounts, a decision is due by the Court before the end of the calendar year of 2007. If successful, the citizens group will push that the Bay Meadows development be put to a vote by San Mateo residents as to whether they want the proposed project to move forward. If the appeal is denied, it basically ends any hope that Bay Meadows will not be developed in the near future. It seems almost certain that Bay Meadows Land Company would start their project in the fall of 2008.
