Safeway -- Part 55

Six years to the week of the last Safeway proposal's defeat, we have an approved plan.  The San Mateo Daily Journal article begins with

Thirteen years after the city of Burlingame first entertained proposals for a new Safeway, plans for a 45,600-square-foot 24-hour grocery store were unanimously approved by the City Council last night.

Countless public meetings, community input, environmental documents and scotched proposals ended with a new plan that nearly everyone could appreciate, and even like.

And goes on to recount the green modifications, fountain plans and the prior timeline.  These are exciting times at Howard and El Camino!

I guess the only minor issue might be that Safeway owns the property and has owned the property since the '50's. Just a detail that you should consider.
