From Friends of Shollenberger Park:
SIGN OUR PETITION APPEAL JUDGE CHOUTEAU'S DECISION
https://www.change.org/petitions/save-shollenberger-join-the-appeal
Dear Friends of Shollenberger:
WHATS WRONG WITH AN ASPHALT FACTORY NEXT TO A WETLANDS AND PARK?
Time and again the American public has been told that something that brings benefit only to large corporations is harmless and/or legal. In this case Dutra Materials ( a private multi-million dollar corporation) will reap profits at the expense of ordinary people who will suffer the noise, pollution, and blight of an asphalt plant near homes, residences, businesses and schools. Remember when pregnant women were told smoking was okay? Health and safety regulations usually lag years-sometimes decades- behind what science tells us is true. Judge Chouteau let a faulty Health Risk Analysis for a previous version of Dutra's project stand, declaring it OK to produce excessive NOX, OK not to analyze 2.5 particulate matter - both of these cause asthma, cancer, and affect children's lung development.
Judge Chouteau echoes the thoughts of former Supervisor Paul Kelley stating that Shollenberger and surroundings is an industrial site. Has he taken into consideration the building of the Marina, The Sheraton hotel, Shollenberger Park or the new Riverview 250 + home development looking down on the asphalt factory site?
Please write a letter to the City Council. Go to Saveshollenberger.com for links.
AND sign this Petition to remind the City Council members and Mayor that each one of them stated they would not support this project. Remind them of their campaign promises. Tell them not to let a ruling out of the Sonoma County Court scare them from protecting their citizens, their park, and their Gateway. There is a reason appellate courts exist: It is to reverse flawed decisions such as this.
Please sign our Petition and send a message to the Petaluma City Council to do what's right, stay the course, join the community coalition of non-profits and individuals as plaintiffs in this appeal.
