Anyone interested in the proposed 66,910 sq.ft. Safeway store should come to a Planning Commission meeting:

WHEN: December 8
TIME: 7:00 PM
WHERE: Burlingame City Hall

Safeway's whisper campaign that they might drop the appeal to the City was obviously just that – a whisper campaign because this meeting will be going ahead on the 8th. The Planning Commissioners declined the plan 6 to 1 and the Supplement No 2 to the Response to Comments Document on the Burlingame Safeway EIR will be discussed at this meeting. Safeway has tried to bully us with threats of walking away but Safeway would not walk way from Burlingame/Hillsborough money. We all want a new Safeway but just not this same old dredged up mammoth store which – remember – would be the size of a football field and 3 and a half times bigger than the present store. And importantly – with no additional dry goods space. It's like a broken record! Hasn't Safeway heard it yet?
