If it seems like the Safeway project has been in the works forever that's because IT HAS. You can go back to the printed copies of the Burlingame Voice circa 2000 in the library and read all about it. There have been numerous meetings, scale models in the store and hundreds of conversations in the aisles of Safeway and Mollie Stone's. It has its own category on this blog.
This coming Monday night, June 22nd at 7pm the latest and greatest version of the plan will be presented to the Planning Commission at City Hall. This version is the result of dozens of stakeholder meetings that included Safeway. It considered underground parking, rooftop parking (which made the cut), 1, 2 and 3 buildings, access, egress and maybe even some largesse. If you want to hear the "whole nine yards" be there early for a seat. I have to be out of town or I would bring a big bag of popcorn. Here is your official notice and invitation:
Where will all the roof rats go when they tear down the old store?
