Just like the cutting down of the Heron and Egret Rookery to make way for a new 101 South interchange. Needless decimation for an interchange designed to accommodate the Dutra asphalt factory, which may never be built.

While I agree with and really appreciate your attention to long-range planning, its role and its…Read More impacts, I challenge us to extend our thinking beyond the 20 or 26 year range. For instance, I envision that one day some of the buried westside creeks in Petaluma could be day-lighted. (And perhaps the overhead wires buried?) This will not happen in 26 years, and to think of it in that time frame makes it seems, well, laughable. However, if the value of doing this were consider seriously for the long term, imagine a network of tree-lined walking pathways separate from traffic and following the creeks from the river up to Helen Putnam Park and the other open spaces from which they flow. As it is now they are almost totally inaccessible to the excited explorings of young children, and walking from downtown to hiking trails requires about a mile of pavement pounding.
What if we envisioned a hundred years or more? Might that not allow for some copacetic way gradually to return some of the parcels along a buried creek to the commons? Maybe or maybe not, but imagining this in the community might generate some doable possibilities that would otherwise remain beneath consciousness. I think the seventh generation thinking bequeathed from the Iroquois constitution indeed offers wisdom still apt: "Look and listen for the welfare of the whole people and have always in view not only the present but also the coming generations, even those whose faces are yet beneath the surface of the ground – the unborn of the future Nation."
