Sometime before Thanksgiving, I reached out to Peterson Vollman, the City of Oakland’s planner overseeing the Howard Terminal ballpark project. I asked if there were any updates on the project. Vollman’s response:
We are anticipating publishing the DEIR in Q1 of 2021 pending AB734 Certification by the Governor.
Just so we’re clear, that’s the first quarter of 2021 for the Draft version of the document, pending the certification through AB734.
Anyway, those of you still on the HT bandwagon have the patience of saints.
Thankgiving also happened to be my birthday. Somehow I managed to get presents, including this:
I would like to carry this pint glass everywhere I go, thank you very much.

Thanks, for the update.
“Anyway, those of you still on the HT bandwagon have the patience of saints.”
It’s not that I (we) have the patience of a saints, between the A’s ownership groups, the city of Oakland, the county of Alameda, the San Francisco Giants, MLB, Lew Wolff, Jerry Brown, and a host of many other governmental bodies and individuals, I (we) have little choice.

Happy belated birthday, from one fire sign to another.
