Tactics Are Reversed Freeway Unit Stands On Waldo Delay
San Francisco board of supervisors rejected a delay on Waldo grade widening by a 1 vote. Only advocate of delay, Supervisor Marvin Lewis, called the Waldo approach a costly mistake and urged thorough studies before endorsement. The vote followed nearly two hours of testimony from freeway advocates and opponents, including Warren Glags of the freeway association who shifted to a delay strategy by proposing 29 questions for official answers before proceeding.
