San Lorenzo Carnival Race Track Hearing Debate
Tomorrow at nine the board of supervisors will hold a public hearing in Oakland on a Bohannon property use permit for a miniature auto racing track on Hesperian south of Hathaway. Nearby homeowners oppose, citing potential blight and noise reaching 400 feet, fearing long term property devaluation and nuisance impacts on Via Arriba and surrounding areas. Residents who can attend should do so to stress the wider community stake.
