Letter to the Editor: Problems With Approval Process for Extra GG Park Concert

Since the first concert isn’t projected to take place until after the 2024 Outside Lands, what’s the hurry?  Why not put off the vote for a month and follow up on some of the concerns raised?  People who depend on the Polo Fields cycling track for exercise and relaxation are locked out for 4-5 weeks if the post-Outside Lands concert is approved.

Many of you rely on buses, trains and/or ferries to get to school, work and other destinations. But the crucial services they provide are in jeopardy because the agencies running them are facing a “fiscal cliff,” – a situation in which declining fare revenue and the end of pandemic funding from the federal government could result in significant operational cuts. In addition, our Bay Area operators rely on fare box revenue to fund operations more than transit agencies in other regions such as Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas and Los Angeles.
