Impasse for Managed Lanes

County officials split on what agency will own and operate toll collection, management
By Zachary Clark
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Local policymakers are divided
as to who should own and operate
tolled express lanes proposed for
Highway 101, and the choice is
often described as that between
local and regional control.
The two remaining options on
the table are to have San Mateo
County own the express lanes and
have the Santa Clara Valley
Transportation Authority operate
them, or to hand over ownership
and operation duties to the Bay
Area Infrastructure Financing
Authority, a joint powers authori-
ty between the Metropolitan
Transportation Commission and
the Bay Area Toll Authority.
BAIFA manages other express
lanes, including Interstate 680 in
Contra Costa County.
The owner and operator decision
is up to both the San Mateo
County Transportation Authority,
which oversees the county’s sales
tax revenue earmarked for trans-
portation, and the City/County
Association of Governments.
C/CAG is a joint powers authority
comprised of board members rep-
resenting each city and the county
that works on quality of life issues
such as air quality and transporta-
tion, among others.
At a meeting Thursday, C/CAG
voted 11-7 to enter into negotia-
tions with BAIFA after the TA last
week voted 5-2 for the local own-
ership option.
Those divergent votes mean the
project is currently at an impasse,
though policymakers appear con-
fident the two boards can come to
a consensus within the next
month or two. Part of the C/CAG

Executive chef cooks up support for firefighters

San Mateo chef Scott Gorman’s motto:‘You do what you can when you can’
By Zachary Clark
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
‘Tis the season of giving and for
one local chef the holidays are an
opportunity to give back and
thank local firefighters for their
work.
On Thanksgiving specifically, a
day when many firefighters are on
duty and away from their families,
Scott Gorman, executive chef and
director of food and beverage at
the Marriott Hotel in San Mateo,
prepares an elaborate feast for
each of the city’s six firehouses.
It’s a tradition Gorman began in
New York and brought with him to
San Mateo when he moved here
eight years ago.
The feast includes an 18- to 22-
pound turkey along with stuffing,
yams, veggies, salad, dressing,
cranberries, gravy, bread rolls and
pumpkin and apple pie.
“[Donating Thanksgiving din-
ners] lines up with things my dad
would say which is ‘do what you
can when you can,’” Gorman said.
“The spirit of these firefighters
amazes the hell out of me. When
everyone is told to evacuate, these
are the people going in the oppo-
site direction. … The guys and
ladies are always super cool and
grateful and respectful to the team.
It is a team effort and always a
pleasure.”

Pescadero’s Civil War general and the ‘Big Cheese’
P
escadero can claim a Civil War gen-
eral, but to see a statue of him you’ll
have to go to Mississippi and visit
the site of the bloody battle of Vicksburg.
Despite being largely ignored locally, any-
way you cut it General Frederick Steele was
indeed a “big cheese” or “big wheel.” His
relatives made sure of that legacy.
Major General Steele graduated from West
Point in 1843, the same class as Ulysses S.
Grant, who would command the Union Army
in the Civil War and go on to become the
18th president of the United States. Steele
led a division of the Northern army at
Vicksburg, Mississippi, called the
“Fortress City” and the “Gibraltar of the
Confederacy.” Vicksburg finally fell after a
47-day siege that ended the battle that saw
nearly 20,000 soldiers killed or wounded. A
statue of Steele, who fought in six major
battles, was erected at the National Military
Park in Vicksburg in 1912.
Steele, born in Delhi, New York in 1819,
served as a major in the war with Mexico. He
came to San Mateo County at the end of that
conflict and lived on a ranch south of
Pescadero near his brother, Isaac, and cousin
Rensselaer. According to a 1943 article in
La Peninsula magazine, Steele returned to
the army immediately after the Civil War

began and rose rapidly through the chain of
command, first as a major, then lieutenant
colonel, followed by colonel, brigadier
general and finally major general. Steele
returned to San Mateo County when the war
ended but died soon after. An item from the
Times-Gazette of Jan. 11, 1868, reported he
died “suddenly of apoplexy at San Mateo and
his burial took place in San Francisco.” He
never married.
Steele’s Pescadero kin did not serve in the
war, but they did their bit. That’s where the
cheese comes in. So does Mark Twain.
His brother Isaac and cousin Rensselaer
were among the most successful dairy farm-
ers in California. So successful that in 1864
they had the idea to fashion a gigantic wheel
of cheddar to raise funds for the Sanitary
Commission, a forerunner of the Red Cross.
It was not an easy task. The Steeles got a lot
of help from their neighbors on the coast
who pitched in and milked 1,500 cows to
make the 3, 800 pounds of cheese that
debuted at the Industrial Fair held by the
Mechanics Institute in San Francisco where
people paid 25 cents to glimpse the 7-foot
wide by 2-foot deep cheese. Most of the
cheese sold for 50 cents a pound after it was
displayed for a month. Some of it was sent
to the White House so President Lincoln
could sample it. The California Milk
Advisory ranks the cheese among its
“Milestones in California Cheese History.”
Indeed, this cheese stood alone.
Mark Twain, then writing under his real
name, Samuel Clemens, reported on the
massive cheese in the San Francisco Daily
Morning Call, concluding that “it is the
contribution of two whole-hearted brothers
and it is worth twenty-five cents to look
upon such a monument of kindly Christian
charity.” Twain wrote several stories about
the cheese but ended up being fired for not
checking his facts. Perhaps his pink clip
had something to do with Isaac and
Rensselaer being cousins, not brothers.
By the 1870s, the Steele Brother Dairies
was the second largest owner of milk cows
in California. The Steeles also owned apple
orchards and raised beans and wheat. Along
with their 7, 000-acre holdings on the
Peninsula, the Steeles had property in
Marin and Santa Cruz counties. Today, their
farmhouse is part of the Green Oaks Creek
organic farm in Pescadero.

Community weighs in on Firehouse Square
Eighty percent affordable units, architecture earns praise; some concerned about traffic
By Zachary Clark
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
About five months after a for-profit and
nonprofit developer teamed up to rejigger
the Firehouse Square proposal in Belmont,
the partners hosted a community event early
in December at which residents celebrated
the project’s architecture and unusually high
percentage of affordable units, but also
expressed some concern about traffic
impacts.
The plans, which have been in the works
for years, haven’t changed much since the
partnership between Sares Regis and
MidPen Housing was announced in June,
and for many that’s a good thing.
Sares Regis will build 15 market-rate
townhomes and MidPen will construct and
then own and operate 66 affordable units for
rent, making the proposal more than 80
percent affordable. The MidPen develop-
ment will include 18 studios, 12 one-bed-
rooms, 18 two-bedrooms and 17 three-bed-
rooms plus one unit for a property manager.
Amenities for the MidPen development
include a children’s playground, barbecue
area and after-school space. This communi-
ty is for people who make between 30 per-
cent to 80 percent of area median income.
Residents will be chosen by lottery and
preference will be given to people who live
and work in Belmont.
The architecture will remain the same
since the last round of community meetings
in 2014 — the MidPen building will be in
the Spanish style, the townhomes in the
Craftsman style and the Firehouse facade
will be preserved. The development will
range from three stories to one story in
height and site improvements include
undergrounding of overhead power lines on
Fifth Avenue from O’Neill Avenue to
Broadway and down to Civic Lane, new
street lighting and sidewalk upgrades.
The for-sale townhomes will average

Serena Ip, MidPen’s project manager for

mixed reactions to the parking numbers.
“Some folks expressed concerns over the

others saw that as positive in that less cars
mean less residential traffic and noted that
the neighborhood is underparked anyway,”
she said. “Quite a few folks were pleased
about the proposed street improvements
that will make it safer for pedestrians while
others noted increasing cut-through traffic
in the neighborhood.”

Jeff Smith, Sares Regis senior vice presi-

some have also requested a music school of

Giuliani: ‘Over my dead body’ will Mueller interview Trump
By Jonathan Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — With a number of
probes moving closer to the Oval Office,
President Donald Trump and his attorney
unleased a fresh series of attacks Sunday on
the investigators, questioning their integri-
ty while categorically ruling out the possi-
bility of a presidential interview with the
special counsel.
Trump and Rudy Giuliani used Twitter and
television interviews to deliver a series of
broadsides against special counsel Robert
Mueller and federal prosecutors in New York.
Giuliani said he was “disgusted” by the tac-
tics used by Mueller in his probe into
Russian election interference, including in
securing guilty pleas from the president’s
former national security adviser Michael
Flynn on a charge of lying to federal inves-
tigators.
Trump, Giuliani said, would not submit to
an interview by Mueller’s team.
“They’re a joke,” Giuliani told “Fox News
Sunday.” ‘’Over my dead body, but, you
know, I could be dead.”
The special counsel, who is investigating
possible ties between the Trump campaign
and Russia, has continued to request an inter-
view with the president. Last month, the

WASHINGTON — Investigations now
entangle Donald Trump’s White House, cam-
paign, transition, inauguration, charity and
business. For Trump, the political, the per-
sonal and the deeply personal are all under
examination.
Less than two years into Trump’s presiden-
cy, his business associates, political advisers
and family members are being probed, along
NATION
White House sent written
answers in response to
the special counsel’s
questions about possible
collusion. The White
House has resisted
answering questions on
possible obstruction of
justice.
Rudy Giuliani Giuliani sarcastically
said that the only thing
left to ask the president was about “several
unpaid parking tickets that night, back in
1986, ‘87 that haven’t been explained.”
If the president officially refuses an inter-
view request, the special counsel’s team
could theoretically seek to subpoena him to
compel his testimony. Such a move would
almost certainly trigger an immediate court
fight.
The Supreme Court has never directly ruled
on whether a president can be subpoenaed
for testimony in a criminal investigation,
though the justices have said that a president
can be forced to turn over records that have
been subpoenaed and can be forced to answer
questions as part of a lawsuit.
The special counsel’s investigation has
spun out charges and strong-armed guilty
pleas from Trump underlings while keeping
in suspense whether the president —

Saturday, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke

Trump and Giuliani have repeatedly tried
to paint Cohen as untrustworthy, with the
former New York City mayor calling him a
“pathological liar.”
“Which is the truth?” Giuliani said of the
competing stories from Trump and Cohen. “I
think I know what the truth is. Unless you’re
God, you’ll never know what the truth is.”
Trump and Giuliani have also accused
prosecutors of intimidating the president’s
associates into making false claims.

was absolutely unthinkable & unheard of

Trump tweeted. “They BROKE INTO AN

The scope of the scrutiny has shaped
Trump’s presidency, proving a steady distrac-

of it has been launched by federal prosecutors
and government watchdogs that eschew parti-

next year when Democrats assume control of
the House and the subpoena power that comes
with it.

his high-octane Twitter account frequently
betrays just how consumed he is by the scruti-

It was not a break-in. The FBI executed a
search warrant obtained from a judge in con-
ducting a raid in April on Cohen’s home,
office and hotel room and seizing records on
a variety of matters, among them a
$130,000 payment made to porn actress
Stormy Daniels by Cohen. The application
for the warrant was approved high in the
Justice Department.
In response to Trump’s tweet, former FBI
Director James Comey tweeted, “This is

Prosecutors have said Trump directed
Cohen to arrange the payments to buy the
silence of Daniels and former Playboy model
Karen McDougal in the run-up to the 2016

say the payments amounted to illegal cam-

and you simply can’t lead because your oppo-

Jillson, a Southern Methodist University
political scientist and historian, said of the
scrutiny. “It weakens your friends and
emboldens your enemies.”
Almost midway through his term, Trump is
struggling to deliver on his central campaign
promises. He may end the year without a
Republican-led Congress giving him the $5
billion he wants for a border wall. And he’s
previewed few legislative priorities for 2019.
Even if he had, it’s unlikely the new
Democratic House majority would have much
incentive to help a president weakened by
investigations rack up wins as his own re-

White House digs in on border

wall demand, risks shutdown
By Hope Yen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — The White House on Sunday pushed the

Protest signs seek justice for Jakelin Caal, who died at the border.
Child’s death highlights communication barriers on border
By Julie Watson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Shortly before a 7-year-old Guatemalan girl died in U.S.
custody, her father signed a form stating that his daughter
was in good health. But it’s unclear how much the man
understood on the form, which was written in English and
read to him in Spanish by Border Patrol agents.
The death of Jakelin Caal highlights the communication
challenges along the U.S.-Mexico border as agents come in
contact with an increasing number of migrants who speak
neither English nor Spanish.
Her father’s native language is the Mayan tongue known
as Q’eqchi’. His second language is Spanish. It’s unclear
whether something was lost in translation or whether it
would have made a difference in saving Jakelin after the two
were detained and underwent a health screening along a
remote stretch of U.S.-Mexico border. But the case raises
questions about the Border Patrol’s use of English-only
REUTERS
forms.
All agents are required to speak Spanish, and they receive
formal Spanish training. Reading forms in Spanish is often
enough to pose basic questions. But some other Spanish-
speaking migrants reported signing paperwork that they
later said they did not understand.
Scores of immigrant parents who were separated from
their children after crossing the border in the spring said
they signed forms agreeing to be deported with the under-
standing that their kids would be returning with them, only
to find themselves deported without them. Many had to wait
months before being reunited with them in their home-
lands.
Jakelin and her father, Nery Gilberto Caal Cuz, were part
of a group of 163 migrants arrested Dec. 6 near a border
crossing in New Mexico. Hours later, they were placed on a
bus to the nearest Border Patrol station, but Jakelin began
vomiting and eventually stopped breathing. She later died
at a Texas hospital.
federal government closer to the brink of a partial shutdown
later this week, digging in on its demand for $5 billion to
build a border wall as congressional Democrats stood firm
against it.
“We will do whatever is necessary to build the border wall
to stop this ongoing crisis of immigration,” said White
House senior adviser Stephen Miller.
Asked if that meant having a government shutdown, he
said: “If it comes to it, absolutely.”
Trump said last week he would be “proud” to have a shut-
down to get Congress to approve a $5 billion down pay-
ment to fulfill his campaign promise to build a wall on the
U.S.-Mexico border. But the president doesn’t have the
votes from the Republican-controlled Congress to support
funding for the wall at that level.
Democratic congressional leaders, Sen. Chuck Schumer
and Rep. Nancy Pelosi, have proposed no more than $1.6
billion, as outlined in a bipartisan Senate bill. The money
would not go for the wall but for fencing upgrades and other
border security. Democrats also offered to simply keep fund-
ing at its current level, $1.3 billion.
Showing no signs of budging, Schumer said Sunday that
it was up to Trump to decide whether parts of the federal gov-
ernment shut down at midnight Friday over his border wall,
sending thousands of federal employees home without pay
during the holidays.
About one-quarter of the government would be affected,
including the departments of Homeland Security,
Transportation, Agriculture, State and Justice, as well as
national parks.
“He is not going to get the wall in any form,” Schumer
said.
Both parties in Congress have suggested that Trump
would likely need to make the next move to resolve the
impasse. The House is taking an extended weekend break,
returning Wednesday night.

Migrant girl’s family disputes official story on her death

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The family of a 7-year-old Guatemalan girl who died in U.S.
Border Patrol custody is disputing an account from U.S. offi-
cials who said she had not been given food or water for days.
In a statement released by lawyers, the parents of Jakelin
Caal said the girl had been given food and water and appeared
to be in good health as she traveled through Mexico with her
father, 29-year-old Nery Gilberto Caal Cuz.
Border Patrol officials did not immediately respond to the
family’s comments.
The family’s statement was released Saturday during a news
conference in El Paso, Texas, at an immigrant shelter where
Jakelin’s father is staying. Her family did not attend and has
asked for privacy.
Jakelin and her father were seeking asylum in the U.S. and
were among a large group of migrants arrested Dec. 6 near a
remote border crossing in New Mexico. Hours later they were
placed on a bus to the nearest Border Patrol station, but
Jakelin began vomiting and eventually stopped breathing.
She later died at a Texas hospital.
Border Patrol officials on Friday said agents did everything
they could to save the girl but that she had not had food or
water for days.

Creating the future of San Mateo
By Keith Weber
What does San Mateo’s future look
like? What is the value of community
character and why is it important to
our quality of life? What role does his-
toric preservation play in our future?
As we strive to create a “vision” for
the future of San Mateo, we have a
responsibility to consider our 125-
year history and the tangible links
that still connect us to that history.
“At its best,” wrote renowned preser-
vationist and author William Murtagh,
“preservation engages the past in a
conversation with the present over a
mutual concern for the future.”  are recognized by our current General
San Mateo has a wealth of historic
resources that can be found in every
corner of the city, from homes to
storefronts, parks to public works,
individual buildings and designated
districts. They reflect important
themes in the city’s growth and devel-
opment, including architecture, city
planning, social history, ethnic her-
itage and commerce. Collectively,
they tell the story and define the char-
acter of our community, adding to the
quality of life for all. A primary goal of
our General Plan, therefore, should be
to preserve that special sense of place
and time, and the social and cultural
diversity created by our historic build-
ings, neighborhoods and landscapes.
The National Historic Preservation
Act of 1966 acknowledged that histor-
ical and cultural preservation “give a
sense of orientation to the American
People.” It recognized that preserving
the best of a community’s built her-
itage is vital to bridging generations
and to re-establishing a sense of place
and a sense of pride in a local commu-

sense of place that
fosters pride and
gives residents

San Mateo’s historic resources, both
individually and collectively, are per-

Oft neglected, these community assets
Plan as providing “economic, cultural
and aesthetic benefit to the city of San
Mateo,” yet many remain unidentified
and most are unprotected. As develop-
ment pressure increases and the threat
to these irreplaceable resources
becomes ever more real, policy makers
and the community at large deserve
clear data about which structures have
historic or potential historic value. To
make informed planning decisions,
policy makers need baseline informa-
tion on potential historic resources.
Before buildings are torn down or
altered, it is our obligation to ask if
they have some significance to the
community. Without critical informa-
tion about our historic resources, bad
decisions will inevitably be made.
As stewards of historic places, the
city and citizens alike have a responsi-
bility to protect our historic resources
through comprehensive goals and
policies which have parity with other
land use concerns such as housing, cir-
culation and jobs. Strengthening the
links between preservation and land
use planning, with both economic and

senting Foster City. She is deliberate
and thoughtful in her contributions to
council matters. She is respectful to her
constituents. She attends Parks and
Recreation meetings. She is a CERT

San Mateo’s current General Plan

ensure that our future General Plan not
only retains these shared values but
emphasizes them; not only maintains
preservation goals, but strengthens
them; and not only includes protective

at least through a dedicated process and

these days, and often used in a derogato-

“If by a ‘liberal’ they mean someone
who looks ahead and not behind (…)
someone who cares about the welfare of

civil rights and their civil liberties (…)
then I’m proud to say I’m a ‘liberal.’”
The dictionary definition of “liberal”
includes “objective, tolerant, impartial,
reasonable, rational, unselfish, open-
minded, not prejudiced, for general
broadening of the mind, favoring indi-
vidual liberty and political and social
reform, trending towards democracy and
personal freedom, regarding many tradi-
tional beliefs as dispensable, invalidat-

change.”
So, if you are proud not to be a “liber-

of all the above?

Voting system threats
G
errymandering and voter suppression are major
challenges to our fair and democratic system of vot-
ing. Gerrymandering is a tool used by both parties
when they have the power to fiddle with district lines. This
year, severe voter suppression occurred in states with highly
competitive political races, including Georgia, Texas,
Florida and North Dakota. Voter suppression takes many
forms including overly restrictive voter ID and registration
requirements, voting confusion, poll closures and long
lines, malfunctioning voter equipment and gerrymandering.
***
In Georgia, 53,000 voter registrants — 70 percent of
whom were black — were placed in “pending” status by the
secretary of state because of minor misspellings or miss-
ing hyphens on their registration forms. A federal judge
intervened to stop this practice
four days before the election —
citing the “differential treatment
inflicted on a group of individu-
als who are predominantly
minorities.” However, those with
pending registration statuses
were still forced to prove eligi-
bility, before voting, which can
be difficult for those lacking
access to birth certificates, pass-
ports or nationalization docu-
ments. Michigan also experi-
enced problems due to the secre-
tary of state’s alleged failure to update tens of thousands of
voter registration addresses in the state’s voter registration
database.
In June 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court validated Ohio’s
process for purging voters from voter rolls simply for not
having voted in two previous elections and failing to return
a mailer. In 2015, Ohio purged hundreds of thousands of
individuals from its voter rolls for failing to vote since
2008. More than 10 percent of voter registrants in the
“heavily African-American neighborhoods near downtown”
Cincinnati were purged for failing to vote since 2012.
Since 2012, former Georgia secretary of state and
Republican Gov.-elect Brian Kemp purged around 1.5 million
people from the state voter rolls, 107,000 of whom were
***
North Carolinians voted once again in districts that have
been declared unconstitutional. In January 2018,
Republican lawmakers successfully petitioned the U.S.
Supreme Court to delay a lower court’s mandate to redraw
district maps until after two other gerrymandering cases
were heard. In August, a lower court ruled that the maps
would stand for the upcoming election.
Despite a 2017 federal court ruling that two Texas congres-
sional districts were discriminatorily designed to suppress
Hispanic voters, conservative members of the U.S. Supreme
Court upheld one of the districts in June 2018, finding that
the legislators had not acted with discriminatory intent.
Now much to the chagrin of Democrats who are fighting
Republican gerrymandering, the New Jersey Democratic-con-
trolled Legislature is trying to put their supremacy into the
state Constitution. Even the state’s Democratic governor,
Philip Murphy, is against it.
***
Meanwhile, San Mateo County is trying to improve minor-
ity representation on boards and councils with mixed results.
The Board of Supervisors recently moved to district elections.
The first test was in the first district which covers primarily
Daly City whose demographics are: Asian 55 percent;
Hispanic 23 percent and white, 13 percent. Even though there
were minority candidates, David Canepa prevailed. We don’t
know what will happen in the next election when districts are
more evenly split between majority and minority voters.
Menlo Park recently switched to district elections after
being threatened by a lawsuit primarily because no minor-
ity candidate from Belle Haven in east Menlo Park had
been elected in 30 years. Now Cecilia Taylor has. But on
the flip side, two experienced and well-qualified incum-
bents running for re-election in other parts of the city
lost. Perhaps there were other reasons for Kirsten Keith
and Peter Ohtaki to lose. But it’s an eye-opener for other
cities toying with the idea of making the change.
In the San Mateo County Community College District’s
new system of district elections, two well-respected incum-
bents faced each other. Tom Mohr, former San Mateo Union
High School District superintendent and president of
Cañada College, lost to Richard Holober, a former longtime
Millbrae resident whose late wife, Nadia, served on the
Millbrae council, and whose son Reuben is now a member.
Holober, who represented District 3, would have been out of
a job because his term was up before elections would be
held for his district. He moved to San Mateo, and it was
thought there was a good chance Mohr might not run again.
But Mohr did and had the support of most San Mateo
County local and state officials. What he didn’t have was
the endorsement of labor unions and the Democratic Party,
the money and the organization to wage a major campaign.
Holober, a former union leader, had all of these.

Kushner-linked firm targets richer areas in program for poor
By Jeff Horowitz
and Stephen Braun
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A real estate investment
firm co-founded by President Donald
Trump’s son-in-law and adviser, Jared
Kushner, is betting big on the administra-
tion’s Opportunity Zone tax breaks but
isn’t that interested in steering its investors
to the poorest, most-downtrodden areas that
the program seeks to revitalize.
New York-based Cadre, in which Kushner
still holds at least a $25 million passive
stake, made it clear to potential investors in
recent marketing materials that it doesn’t
plan to look for development deals in most
of those zones because of their “unfavorable
growth prospects.”
Instead, Cadre says it will target a “small
subset” of zones in such cities as Los
Angeles, Seattle and Miami where both
populations and incomes are already set to
rise faster than the national average.
Cadre is a high-profile example of how
early investor interest in the program
appears focused on the places that need it the
least: zones that qualified for the tax breaks
despite already drawing substantial invest-
ment or are undergoing obvious gentrifica-
tion.
Among the examples of such zones is a
A higher percentage of marijuana products are passing lab safety tests.
More pot passing safety tests
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — A higher percentage of
California marijuana products are passing
strict safety tests, but the sudden closing of
a lab that state authorities found wasn’t cor-
rectly checking for pesticides has raised
new questions about the system intended to
protect the purity and potency of legal
cannabis.
California broadly legalized marijuana at
the start of the year, and mandatory testing
began in July 1. During the first two months
the failure rate was about 20 percent, but
state data collected through November
showed improvement — about 14 percent of
nearly 24,000 products were blocked from
store shelves by tests.
Cannabis-infused cookies, candies and
tinctures continued having the most trouble
in test labs: About 26 percent were rejected,
though that also was an improved rate com-
pared to the July-August period, when one-
third failed.
“With any news rules, there’s always
going to be a period of adjustment that

Yet another Opportunity Zone includes part
of The Willows neighborhood of Menlo
Park, California, less than 2 miles (3.2 kilo-
meters) from Stanford’s campus, where the
tech boom has driven home prices to $1,500
per square foot, 10 times the national aver-
age. The Opportunity Zone where Amazon
put its New York City headquarters in Queens
has a median household income of more than
$130,000.
“It’s hard to imagine why we should be
subsidizing that,” said Brett Theodos, a
researcher whose Urban Institute analysis
found nearly one-third of the nation’s more
than 8,700 Opportunity Zones are showing
signs of pre-existing heavy investment.
“These investors are not bad people. They
are responding to the incentives.”
Such is the major criticism of the
REUTERS
takes place, ” said Alex Traverso, a
spokesman for the state Bureau of Cannabis
Control. “The cannabis industry in
California adapts pretty quickly, and I think
that’s what we’re seeing with these lower
fail rates in testing. That’s encouraging.”
The integrity of the testing program was
shaken last month when Sacramento-based
Sequoia Analytical Labs surrendered its
license after state regulators found it was
conducting faulty tests for pesticides,
apparently since the program kicked off at
midyear.
State regulators asked retailers and dis-
tributors to recall any batches tested by the
company after July 1. Any batches returned
by consumers must be destroyed. Products
pulled back from a company’s inventory
can be retested with state permission, or
destroyed. But it’s likely many of those
products already have been consumed.
It wasn’t immediately clear how much
cannabis was cleared by the lab for sale, but
it’s almost certainly a large amount, cover-
ing five months of testing. The state has
issued only a few dozen lab licenses.
Investing in Opportunity Act, which became
law last December as part of the Republican-
sponsored tax overhaul. Promoted by Trump
in a White House event this past week, it
offers developers potentially millions of
dollars in capital gains tax breaks to invest
in zones selected by states based on such
factors as high poverty and low income.
While the program highlights an average
32 percent poverty rate in the zones, it
includes a wide range of areas — and allows
“contiguous” tracts that might not be low-
income but are close enough to distressed
areas to qualify.
Cadre said in a statement to The Associated
Press that the neighborhoods it is targeting
for investment may be poised for growth but
still exhibit low median incomes and are
“capital deprived.”
“At the end of the day, the Opportunity
Zone tax benefits only kick in if we succeed
for the communities in which we invest,”
the statement said.
There’s no evidence the administration
sought to include better-off Opportunity
Zones in the program. A White House
spokesman told the AP this past week that
the choice of the zones was up to the states.
The Treasury Department, which certified
the final roster of zones, declined to com-
ment on the presence of gentrified areas in
the program.
Tesla tour offers glimpses of
noise, vibration and innovation
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RENO, Nev. — The noise and vibration at
Tesla’s northern Nevada Gigafactory is a
constant reminder of what company CEO
Elon Musk refers to as “the machine that
builds the machine.”
Operating 24 hours per day, more than
7, 000 workers produce enough battery
packs and drive units in a week to power
5,300 Tesla Model 3 sedans.
“It is not elaborate, mahogany offices
here,” Chris Lister, vice president of opera-
tions for the Reno production plant told the
Reno Gazette Journal. “This is where work
gets done.”
The newspaper got a rare glimpse inside
the factory recently for a multimedia report
about a business the governor’s Office of
Economic Development credits with
increasing manufacturing employment in
the Reno-Sparks area by 55 percent since
2014.
A reporter found a hive of human workers,
robotic arms, conveyor lines and
autonomous vehicles working to assemble
battery cells for Tesla sedans and other ener-
gy products.
The company says the plant is just 30 per-
cent of its potential size at 5.4 million
square feet — roughly equivalent to 50
Home Depot stores. Already it produces
more batteries than all other carmakers
combined, it says.
Panasonic makes the cells, which look a
little like oversized AA batteries, in one

M-A revels with 21-7 victory in return to
Division 3-AA State Championship Bowl
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The real deal. That’s what the Menlo-
Atherton Bears have proven to be.
After reveling in the spotlight of the state
championship stage, that’s how they cele-
brated — like the real deal.
The Bears (12-3 overall) made program his-
tory Saturday night, powering to a 21-7 vic-
tory over Lincoln-San Diego in the CIF
Division 3-AA State Championship Bowl at
Terremere Field close to home on the campus
of Sequoia High School.
“The seniors were motivated,” M-A line-
man Noa Ngalu said. “This was our last game.
And we’ve got to go out in a good way.
Everybody was just going all out. That’s what
I love about this team is that nobody is self-
ish. They all play for each other.”
It was the second time in three years M-A
has reached the Division 3-AA state champi-
onship. Two years ago, the Bears traveled to
Lancaster only to fall to Paraclete 39-21.
That was how the surreal sophomore season
of Ngalu and linebacker Daniel Heimuli
ended.
On the journey back home, the two players
who have become pillars of M-A’s recent gen-
eration of football success resolved to redeem
the loss.
“I was 14 years old,” Heimuli said. “I was
really young; I was a sophomore. So, me and
Noa told each other we are going to win state,
we are going to take it all the way. … I think
tonight was a great example of finishing.
Because we promised each other the start of
our varsity career we were going to finish.
And that’s what we did.”
The surreal nature of the 2016 state game
was due to its being overshadowed by tragedy.
In the weeks prior to the Dec. 17, 2016 game,
14-year-old Menlo-Atherton freshman Aisea
Mataele was suddenly hospitalized due to ill-
ness. Three days after that state champi-
onship game, on Dec. 20, 2016, he died after
being taken off life support after suffering
from meningitis-like symptoms, according
to the San Jose Mercury.
“Two years ago we got to this point and we
didn’t finish it,” Ravipati said. “Aisea

“We lost one of our little brothers two years
ago from the Mataele family,” Heimuli said.
“He was a big part of our community. He
showed great characteristics of a great man.
So I played the rest of my high school career
for him. The whole team played for him as
well. So, carrying him on our back, playing
for him is a great honor. We just wanted to
make their family proud.”
That the Bears did.
Lincoln (11-5) is a high-powered team,
having entered Saturday collecting over
5,000 yards of offense. And the Hornets
opened with a bang, marching 84 yards on
four plays on their opening drive, capped by
an explosive 74-yard scoring pass on a fly
route up the left sideline from quarterback
Chris Davila to receiver Jamahd Monroe.
M-A regrouped from the big score and went
on to hold Lincoln to just 281 total yards of
offense. More importantly, the mighty Bears
defense held the Hornets scoreless from that
point on.
“It was going to take time for us to adjust to
their speed,” Ravipati said. “I mean, they are
fast. They’re an explosive football team. For
us to hold them to only seven points is a
great performance by our defense.”
The Bears defense got a big stop on fourth-
and-1 at the M-A 31 to start the second quar-
ter. Then the M-A offense responded.
“We always seem to be a little sluggish in
that first quarter,” M-A quarterback Jack
Alexander said. “We just pull ourselves out of
it. … There was no concern. I knew we were
going to get back in the game.”
M-A utilized running back Deston Hawkins

Sharks rally back to hammer Blackhawks

CHICAGO — Melker Karlsson, Evander
Kane, Kevin Labanc, Tomas Hertl and Logan
Couture each had a goal and an assist, and the
Sharks rallied to beat the Chicago
Blackhawks 7-3 Sunday night for their fourth
straight win.
Marcus Sorensen and Barclay Goodrow
also scored for the Sharks, who connected for
three unanswered goals in the second period
to take charge. Brent Burns had three assists
for San Jose, which has won six of seven and
climbed into a tie with Anaheim for second in
the Pacific Division.
Chicago goalie Corey Crawford left the
game with 1:30 left in the first period after
the back of his head struck the right post dur-

goals on eight shots and exited with the
Blackhawks leading 3-2. After the game, the
Blackhawks said that Crawford had been
diagnosed with a concussion.
Alex DeBrincat, Dylan Strome and
Brendan Perlini scored in the first period for
last-place Chicago, which lost for 10th time
in its last 11 games despite grabbing an early
2-0 lead. Cam Ward replaced Crawford and
gave up five goals on 35 shots.
Martin Jones started in goal for San Jose,

The Blackhawks scored on their first two

DeBrincat opened the scoring 2:34 in.
Jones got his right pad on DeBrincat’s 35-

shot from the right point.
The Sharks tied it 2-all midway through the

Karlsson beat Crawford on the stick side

Florida in last year’s semifinals.
“I don’t know that I’ve been part of a match

Cardinal coach Kevin Hambly said, adding:
“Foecke was unbelievable in that match. We
couldn’t touch her. It’s sad to see her leave the
NCAA. She’s going to have a long career
ahead of her. I think we just all have a lot of
respect for that team, how hard they play, the

Gould boots Niners to OT win
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA — As if the San
Francisco 49ers needed any reminder
about how Seattle has dominated this
once fierce NFC West rivalry of late,
Kyle Shanahan and his coaching staff
spent the night before the game remind-
ing the players with highlights from the
Seahawks’ 27-point blowout just two
weeks ago.
Message delivered.
Robbie Gould kicked a 36-yard field
goal with 3:06 left in overtime after San
Francisco’s defense delivered three
straight stops against Russell Wilson
and the Seahawks to help the 49ers snap
a 10-game losing streak against Seattle
with a 26-23 victory on Sunday.
“It (emotionally) touched a part of
guys that needs to be touched some-
times,” said cornerback Richard
Sherman, who was on the winning side
of nine of those games with Seattle
before joining the 49ers this season.
“Sometimes you need to touch guys’
pride. You need to have some pride.
You’re a grown man. They went out there
and embarrassed you. How are you going
to respond? We responded today.”
Nick Mullens threw for 275 yards and
a touchdown to help the 49ers (4-10)
win consecutive games for the first time
this season. Richie James Jr. returned a
kick 97 yards for a touchdown and Gould
kicked four field goals to give San
Francisco its first win in the rivalry
since 2013 when Jim Harbaugh was still
coach.
DeForest Buckner added two sacks
against Wilson as the defense stepped up
after being on the wrong side of a 43-16
beating just two weeks ago.
“We took it personally,” Buckner said.
“They flat out embarrassed us two weeks
ago. Everybody from top to bottom
wasn’t happy about it. We knew it would
be a dog fight coming into this week.
We just played them two weeks ago. It
was a long two weeks for sure.”
The Seahawks (8-6) had their four-
game winning streak snapped and
missed a chance to clinch a playoff berth
with the loss to the Niners.
Russell Wilson threw for 237 yards
with two TD passes to Doug Baldwin and
Chris Carson ran for 119 yards and a
score for Seattle. But Wilson was unable
to generate any points on his final three
drives, leading to the loss.
“We kept ourselves in the game, but

we shot ourselves in the foot a bunch of
times,” offensive lineman Duane Brown
said. “We had plenty of opportunity to
take it over, but we set ourselves back.
We have to find a way to fix it. It’s not
going to get any easier.”
Carson tied the game early in the
fourth quarter when he scored on fourth-
and-goal from the 1. He appeared to be
stuffed at the line by D.J. Jones, but
managed to get out of that tackle and
then fight through another attempt by
Elijah Lee before diving over the goal
line for the score that made it 20-all.
The teams then traded field goals later
in the fourth to set up the overtime.
The 49ers forced a punt on the open-
ing drive thanks in part to a holding
penalty on Ethan Pocic that wiped out a
third-down conversion.
Mullens then drove San Francisco
into position for the game-winning
kick with help from a pass interference
call against Shaquill Griffin and a 16-
yard run by Jeff Wilson Jr.
Gould then made his kick in the wind
and rain, to give 49ers a rare celebration
in a rough season.
“I know how much this one means for
Sherm and how much this means for our
fans,” Gould said. “For us just to be able
to get a win and have some positivity
going to the end of the season with a lot
of young guys will help us for next year.”

CINCINNATI — Derek Carr kept his streak without an

Carr extended his streak without an interception to nine
games, but Oakland managed only 19 yards in the fourth
quarter, helping the Cincinnati Bengals hold on for a 30-16

The Bengals (6-8) got the better of a game between two strug-

Then on second-and-4 from the 50 at the start
of the second quarter, M-A sprung their big

sophomore receiver Troy Franklin. The result?
A quick 50-yard touchdown strike up the left
sideline to tie it 7-7.
“We create shot plays — shots to get down in
the end zone,” Franklin said. “And that’s what

M-A took the ball right back. On the next

We’re in mid-December. It’s nice to see that

And, boy, have the Colts shown closing
power.
In each Friday’s tournament semifinal, and
Saturday’s championship game, Cañada was
stronger after halftime.
The Colts trailed Santa Rosa by 20 points
in the first half of the semis, but rallied back
behind a 29-point performance by sopho-
more center Kaden Bradley, who earned tour-

the championship game was the Sean Orr
show. The sophomore forward totaled 21
points and 10 rebounds, with 18 of those
points coming in the second half. Orr also
earned all-tournament honors.
“[Orr’s] importance to the team can’t be
understated,” Lee said. “I don’t call a single
offensive play for Sean. He’s always finding
himself in every part of the play … so it’s
really just his tenacity, his sense of urgency
to be in every play.”
Once again, the Colts hunkered down in
the second half. Holding a slight 38-37 lead
at the break, Cañada flew out of halftime on
an 11-2 run and held a double-digit lead for
most of the second half. Los Medanos

CHEF
Continued from page 1
As an executive chef, Gorman oversees the kitchen but no
longer cooks on the job, except for firefighters on
Thanksgiving.
“Chef Scott is amazing and we completely appreciate him
and the Marriott staff with this tradition,” said San Mateo
fire Capt. Steve Stanovcak. “I have to say it makes things a
little easier to come in and work and not be with family on
Thanksgiving knowing that you are going to get an out-
standing meal.”
This year, some San Mateo County firefighters were in
Paradise during Thanksgiving, assisting in the aftermath of
the Camp Fire.
Stanovcak said he’s had plenty of “not-so-tasty”
Thanksgiving dinners at the fire station, including the
“dreaded” turkey jerky or twice cooked turkey, often cold
and late at night. And emergency calls come in at any time,
which means meals are often interrupted.
“The first year we received Thanksgiving dinner from
Chef Scott and the Marriott we were not sure what to
expect,” Stanovcak said. “It wasn’t just a turkey cooked to
perfection. It was every fixing that goes with a traditional
Thanksgiving dinner plus dessert, which were all amazing.”
Gorman’s team prepares the meals Thanksgiving morn-
ing as they also serve customers, and firefighters stop by in
the afternoon to grab their dinner, which they enjoy back at
the firehouse.
“The last group of firefighters that came in were all stand-
ing by the kitchen and wanted to watch what I was doing.
All firemen love to cook, at least the ones I’ve known, and
they’re all good cooks,” he said. “They’re always asking
questions [about cooking] and there are hand shakes, hugs
and thank yous. We’re doing it because we appreciate what
they do and we’re a big building here and if there was a seri-
ous call, they’d respond.”
Gorman was inspired by his parents to donate his culinary
services to local firefighters.
“They always had time for their children and community
and instilled a strong service mentality,” he said.
Growing up, Gorman’s father Raymond was a fire com-
missioner, councilman and generally active member of his

community, a small town in New Jersey. When Gorman was
in high school, his father single-handedly raised the money
to build a new training center in town for firefighters
throughout the greater region.
Gorman’s father worked in the World Trade Center for
much of his life and had relocated to a different office near-
by before the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
“I knew he wasn’t in the Twin Towers on 9/11 and was far
enough away not to be tragically impacted, but he was still
in his office in a heavily impacted area when the second
building was struck,” Gorman said. “It wasn’t until late that
night that I got the call from my mother that he was home.”
Gorman knew a number of firefighters growing up and
working in New York. One summer, he attended a retreat in
Florida along with several New York City firefighters. He
recalled a moment when a woman he knew crashed a jet ski
off of Madeira Beach during that trip.
“The woman flew over the top of the jet ski and it seemed
those two firefighters were in the water before she hit the
water,” Gorman said. “Her nose was busted, but everything
was fine. In the moment you’re not able to record it because
the fear hits you as a normal person and looking back on it,
their speed and reaction was so impressive. They just went
about their business. Both of those gentlemen died in
9/11.”
Gorman is a humble guy and is reticent to credit himself
for the Thanksgiving tradition he began in San Mateo. He
prefers to talk about the support of his general manager,
Christopher Holbrook; Mark Lewis, senior vice president
of operations; and operator, Evolution Hospitality.
Gorman and Holbrook also donated an SUV full of sup-
plies to survivors of the Camp Fire in Paradise.
“When I think of my parents and what they did for their
community, I want my daughter to do that one day. I try to
set an example and my wife is of the same mentality,” he
said. “You do what you can when you can.”

Holiday pie
I
just knew it! Last week’s column focused on how many
of us include our wonderful pets on our holiday shop-
ping list. That earned me a few nice comments and one
not so much. My crime, significant enough to merit a rather
hateful anonymous voice mail, is that I did not bemoan how
the billions spent on animals could, instead, be “better” used
to help humans. To be clear, I never
did nor ever would suggest that people
ignore the plight of other humans.
Actually, I never did nor ever would
suggest how anyone should prioritize
either how they spend or to what caus-
es they donate their money.
I am not someone who thinks him-
self wise enough to set the world’s
priorities, and I will not fall into the
trap of arguing who or what is more
deserving. People need help, animals
need help. The whole planet needs help, in case my critic has
not noticed. When it comes to charitable donations (of
course the main support of the work of PHS/SPCA), I want
all the homeless dogs and cats to find loving families, and I
want a cure for cancer, and for the homeless to all have
homes, and for clean water and nutritious food to be avail-
able to everyone everywhere, and for natural habitat to be
conserved, and for the arts to be supported, and and and ... I
really do want it all. Nor do I think that is impossible. The
whole “swords into ploughshares” thing has long had me
convinced that there are enough resources to go around if we
all agree that is the one essential, unifying priority.
I cut my nonprofit teeth back 50 years ago, in high
school, volunteering for the peace and social action wing of
the Quakers. I still remember one boisterous meeting, vari-
ous people all arguing in support of one or another cause
that they felt should get more attention, “a bigger slice of
the pie.” And then someone said, “we just need to make a
bigger pie.” Those are a few words I’ve never forgotten and,
hopefully, my critic will learn to take them to heart.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — “Spider-Man: Into
the Spider-Verse” swung to the top of
the domestic box office in its first
weekend in theaters, proving that there
is widespread audience interest in big
screen animated versions of Marvel’s
marquee superheroes.
LANES
Continued from page 1
motion Thursday entailed the creation
of a joint ad hoc committee between
both boards to resolve differences.
“Both boards have to come to an
agreement in order for the Managed
Lanes project to move forward,” said
TA spokesman Dan Lieberman. “Both
staffs are already in contact with one
another and will work together to find
a way forward on this issue.”
Facebook, which was part of a group
of private sector employers that donat-
ed $50 million to the project, weighed
in Thursday, Dec. 13, with a letter to
C/CAG highlighting the benefits of
consistency and regional interoper-
ability if the BAIFA model is selected.
Andrew Fremier, deputy executive
director of BAIFA, said whatever
choice the two boards make will be
virtually permanent because the
express lane technology infrastructure
doesn’t transition well between agen-
cies.
“I think the decision you make,
whatever it is, is a decision you’re
going to be staying with for a long
time,” he said.
How it works, raises money
The $514 million Managed Lanes
proposal entails the construction of an
additional lane in each direction on the
stretch of Highway 101 in San Mateo
County. The far left lane in both direc-
tions would be converted to an express
lane equipped with signs and real-time
surveillance equipment. After the proj-
ect is complete, continuous express
lanes would extend from Interstate 380
in San Bruno to San Antonio Road in
Mountain View.
Express lanes promise speeds of at
least 45 mph on all lanes at all times
by allowing buses, carpools of three
people or more and motorcycles to
travel free while charging an electron-
ic toll for other drivers who choose to
use them. The tolls would fluctuate
based on traffic volumes, but initial
estimates suggest the average price
would be $1 per mile in San Mateo
County, which is relatively cheap
compared to express lanes elsewhere.
The facility would also generate
The film led a host of newcomers that
debuted to varying success on this pre-
Christmas holiday weekend, including
Clint Eastwood’s drug smuggling drama
“The Mule” and the Peter Jackson-pro-
duced epic “Mortal Engines” which
bombed in North American theaters.
“Into the Spider-Verse” earned an esti-
mated $35.4 million from 3,813 the-
money. Estimates range from $9.7
million to $20.5 million in net rev-
enue annually for the Highway 101

nomic downturn. Revenue must be
reinvested into the corridor and offi-
cials are excited to spend it on an
express lane expansion as well as
express bus service on those lanes.
The ultimate vision for many offi-
cials is to build continuous express
lanes from Fourth and King streets in
San Francisco to Mountain View.
Fremier argued BAIFA can best realize
that vision.
“We honestly believe that the things
that BAIFA and MTC bring to the table
give a lot more flexibility for develop-
ing the rest of the corridor and offering
multiple mobility options in that cor-
ridor,” he said. “San Francisco seems
to be much more engaged now to
invest in an express lane system that
would connect to [San Mateo County].
… There seems to be quite a bit of
momentum to get the work going and
frankly I think when the [San Mateo
County] system starts to operate, peo-
ple will really get engaged in recog-
nizing the shortfalls of ending at
380.”
Construction on the Managed Lanes
project is slated to begin in spring
2019 and wrap up by mid-2022.
The owner of an express lane facility
owns all the tolling equipment, sets
tolling policies and rates, issues vio-
lations and would be responsible for
implementing any equity programs.
The owner also assumes all liabilities
and risks.
The operator of the facility, as one
might guess, manages day-to-day
operations.
Voting representation
BAIFA is a six-member committee
comprised of voting members from the
counties in which it operates. If BAIFA
were to own the express lane facility
on Highway 101, then the BAIFA com-
mittee would grow to seven members
and San Mateo County would have one
voting representative at the table.
That relatively small degree of influ-
ence was a turnoff for some C/CAG
boardmembers.
“I have a deep concern about com-

aters against a $90 million production
budget according to Sony Pictures on
Sunday, which is a record for animated
movies in December (although the
hybrid “Alvin and the Chipmunks”
movies were higher). The film focuses
on the Miles Morales character as he
learns to become the famed web-
slinger.
pletely handing over [ownership to
BAIFA] — one out of a handful of peo-
ple doesn’t make me super comfortable
that this isn’t going to get out of con-
trol and it’s going to negatively
impact people’s lives and we’re doing
this to make people’s lives better,”
said Boardmember Catherine Carlton,
who is also a Menlo Park council-
woman. “I’m uncomfortable with just
handing it over.”
Boardmember Doug Kim, also a
Belmont councilman, suggested local
control wouldn’t be drastically com-
promised by granting ownership to
BAIFA.
“As long as we can make sure that
our representative on BAIFA has clear
direction from the county, from the
cities, I feel that we can make sure that
our representative represents us on the
BAIFA board,” he said. “As long as
other counties can’t roll over us, I feel
like we can preserve local control even
though we only have one boardmem-
ber on BAIFA.”
Kim also suggested the BAIFA
approach would be best in terms of
expanding the corridor, but he’s not
without reservations. He wants to see
BAIFA’s promises in writing and wants
to gain a clearer understanding of San
Francisco’s willingness and ability to
build express lanes there.
“I think there’s more advantages to
the BAIFA approach, but it’s close,” he
said.
Emily Beach, a TA boardmember and
Burlingame councilwoman, spoke dur-
ing public comment in support of the
VTA partnership.
“What we’ve heard from our commu-
nity is we’ve got to improve mobility
on this corridor not just for cars on the
highway but all modes of transporta-
tion and we also have to do it for all
income levels. The VTA operating
with ownership in San Mateo County I
believe will best fulfill that vision,”
she said. “Because this project is con-
troversial and there’s concern about
‘are we creating a Lexus lane for
wealthy people to drive faster in their
single occupancy vehicles on the
highway’ it becomes even more
important that we have very transpar-
ent and local accountability to our
constituents that yes we’re generating
revenue, but we can draw a direct and
local line to how we are investing and
addressing equity.”

FIESTA
Continued from page 1
on the corridor were among the elements
resident Crystal Chan hoped would be con-
sidered as officials scope a plan for the cor-
ridor. In traveling to her home on South
Norfolk Street from her work in San
Francisco, Chan said she is affected almost
daily by the backup of drivers headed toward
the East Bay in the afternoon. Because the
Fashion Island Boulevard exit from
Highway 101 is shared with the exit for the
eastbound direction of State Route 92, Chan
said she often waits several minutes to exit
the highway and travel through the corridor
during rush hour.
“You’re really looking at 15, 20 minutes
wasted just to go about a mile,” she said.
“It’s a daily struggle just to get on the other
side, and it shouldn’t be that way.”
Though Chan alternates between driving
to the Caltrain station and commuting by
train and driving the full distance to work,
she said she hits traffic either way, noting
both Fashion Island Boulevard and East
Hillsdale Boulevard are congested at that
time.
Fiesta Gardens residents Steve and
Allyson Strauss said the congestion along
the corridor forming a northern border for
the neighborhood has long been a concern.
As the president of the Fiesta Gardens
homeowners association, Steve Strauss said
residents are also worried about the ability
to park at or near their properties and emer-
gency vehicles getting in and out of the
neighborhood during rush hour.
They agreed with resident Gene Batter that
while entering the neighborhood during
rush hour from 19th Avenue at Ginnever
Street is challenging during rush hour, it’s
