Access Almost Lost In San Francisco
 

... not this time though! Congratulations.

San Francisco Intl Airport almost killed windsurfing
and kiting in south San Francisco Bay. We were
windsurfers at heart, but we spoke out as scientists,
lawyers, airline pilots, government regulators, real
estate developers, frequent flyers, and commuters to
fight SFO's colossal 10 billion dollar project.

Big news on SFO airport’s attempt to construct
unnecessary new runways into SF Bay -- which would
have wiped out Coyote Point and most likely 3rd Avenue
too*.

A decade of blood, sweat, and tears.

Now: Victory!

*The popular Third Avenue launch would most likely
have been wiped out as well due to massive silting of
the shoreline, and a likely 20 year ban on watersports
due to constantly moving construction barges
throughout the entire area and the massive and
constant dredging up of toxic elements from deep in
the Bay mud.

Great! 3rd avenue really worth beeing seen (except for the smell). Tons of rooms and "warm" shallow water. No wind? Just hit the golf course on the spot!

I've only been over 3rd Avenue once on the way to land at the airport. Still, heard lots about it over the years. Slippery footing on clay, downwind concrete rubble to get dragged into in gusty wind conditions. Didn't they clean the area up in the last few years though? Anyway, it's secure for now.
