Angelides Reveals Truth–No McKinley Village Alhambra Tunnel
Phil Angelides has no intention of adding a vehicle access at Alhambra. “We are not required to provide a bike and pedestrian tunnel, but we are. And the city–if they want to, if their analysis comes back and said it’s feasible, they can do it on a separate track. It’s up to themselves. Doing the vehicular access at Alhambra was never a mitigation (on the part of RCI),” said Megan Norris, Angelides spokeswoman. (East Sacramento News, 3/6/2014, page 2)
It’s clear to ESP that:
1. Angelides will not cut into his profit margin to help East Sacramento.
2. Councilman Steve Cohn and our city government are already analyzing funding to pay for the tunnel.
3. We will be stuck with the bill for this mitigation.
ESP suspects that Steve Cohn will dangle the tunnel as a negotiation point, to quiet opposition to the project, but he will be unable to guarantee any new vehicular access before the planning commission or council vote. With no legal requirement, no vehicle access will be built.

East Sacramento – SUV Drives Into McKinley Pond!
ESP’s Judy McClaver ferries the police out to the car.
Notes From the Pond
Judy McClaver
I am sure you saw the news or have heard by now about the car that went into the pond on Saturday. I was there. The car slowly settled to the bottom of the pond when it went in. I got the tow company to move the car out of the pond where it would do the least damage to pond’s edge.
The car came from 33rd Street near the tennis courts. It drove over two curbs through the newly laid softball field toward the rose garden and then into the pond. It does not appear the tires did any damage to the ball field. I did not look to see if the tow trucks ran over any sprinkler heads. The vehicle may have done so in its traverse of the park. No park visitors claimed to have been injured.
