Where did Tri-City Voice go?

I've watched a semi-vibrant Fremont blogosphere die a relatively slow death over the last couple of years.   The FCN is a virtual ghost town by comparison to its past.  www.talkfremont.com folded up shop many months ago.  ( By the way for anyone that feels a need, you can still find some of the remnants of this site at http://archive.org/web/web.php   ) One of the more blatant attempts to stifle open…See More

A Clear and Present Danger

The crosswalk to cross Paseo Padre Parkway at Baylis Street in Fremont can be the most dangerous legal pedestrian crossing in the Bay Area. (There are situations where it would seem safer dashing across a freeway.) What makes this particular crossing so unsafe is that traffic regularly passes through that area at an unimpeded 40+ MPH with no reason to even slow down. At times when trying to cross in the east direction, neither driver nor pedestrian can see the other and the pedestrian has to…See More

Proposed Sewer Rate increase

I received a quiet notice from Union Sanitary District today which is proposing to raise Sanitary Services tax by $319 per home per year. In the rate comparison chart, the brochure failed to tell how much taxes are we paying right now. Does any body know such details. I don't think I ever paid for these services. A public hearing for this proposed fee change will be held on June 10 -, 2013 at 7 PM at the USD's district offices 5072 Benson Road, Union City 94587…See More

Now, the City Council will take another crack at the hotly contested issue.Earlier this year, Save Kimber Park prevented the Mission Hills Tennis Club's owners from building housing on its U-shaped property. And, in July, the City Council approved a citizen-led initiative that makes it harder to rezone privately owned properties designated as open space.Kimber Park's designation as a one-year study area expires Dec. 14 and now the real estate developers are trying again to get the City Council…See More
