Letter to the Editor: Artificial Turf is a Toxic Pollutant That Should Not Be Used on Playing Fields

Artificial turf should never have been used in the playing fields of Golden Gate Park and it should not be used in the renovation of the Crocker/Amazon playing fields. It is toxic, pollutes the environment and poses a danger to all San Franciscans. Plastic grass continually sheds microplastics and can’t be recycled or disposed of in a landfill. 

Letter to the Editor: Benefits of Reopening the Great Highway

From my home facing Ocean Beach I’ve been daily observing and photographing trucks, emergency vehicles, sand removal equipment, and the occasional car driving on the closed Great Highway/Sunset Dunes Park. Clearly, this 4-lane highway that was driven on by nearly 20,000 vehicles every day when it was open, had not lost its utility at the time of its closure, nor has it lost its utility yet. My photographic proof indicates at least one or more vehicles drive on it nearly every day.
