Final Plans for Burrell Field and SLHS Swim Complex

Check out the plans for the new high school pool and sports field to be built with Measure M bond proceeds.

Wondering just how many bleachers your tax dollars will help pay for at the soon-to-be-renovated ? Here's a presentation on the planning process for the field renovation and construction of the new swim complex at  (click on the image at right). 

The infrastructure is to be built using proceeds from the , approved by voters last November.

I wondered about some of the details myself. The layout looks awesome!

Tough to tell by the plans but 2 pools seems like a mistake. One 30 meter by 25 yard pool would offer 10 25 yard lanes plus be a regulation sized water polo pool and less costly to maintain than 2 pools. Is it too late to offer advice? Too many San Leandro kids go to ODowd to swim and play polo I would hate to see a poorly designed swimming complex.

Rob, let me spell it out for you yet again. 1) The Crossings are being sold to SL by folks like youRead More and the politicians as "workforce" housing for those poor souls who have a job but supposedly can't afford housing. That's a straight up lie. As I've pointed out, the income levels required for taxpayer-subsidized housing at Bridge could easily afford housing in SL. Therefore, this leads to my point #2: The people who *will* live there are going to be much lower in income. As we have witnessed in *every other* city's failed urban policies, such concentrations of poverty lead to increased local crime.

Frankly, the market has done a wonderful job in SL of providing "affordable housing" as inRead More nearly 2/3 of housing here is affordable to those with a median income, which is probably much higher than the average Bay Area city. Why might that be? Perhaps because SL government has, in the past, generally not interfered with the market (it has allowed new *market-rate* housing to be developed etc, unlike, say, Berkeley).

I'll spell it out for you David, you want it to fail. That way it will fit nicely into your worldRead More view. Just like you want public schools to fail. In the meantime, many committed, intelligent, dedicated people are working very hard to address real problems.

What brand is the pastry cutter?
Rowena Peñalba June 18, 2013 at 11:27 pm
It's slightly used but I don't remember where I bought it from. I don't see any brand name on it. IRead More just priced it based on the lowest one available on Amazon. If you're interested, make me an offer. Maybe we can agree on it. Thanks for your inquiry.

Leah, do you have the authorization from Disney for the use of the copyrighted Dumbo character youRead More use for your blog? I thought that the policy of Patch was to deny access to non-authorized materials such as this.
Leah Hall June 2, 2013 at 08:12 pm
Nope.
