Vote NO on Prop B
Environmental Health Coalition opposes Proposition B to avoid further gentrification and disenfranchisement of the Barrio Logan community and prevent expansion of polluting industry at the National City Marine Terminal. This initiative will eliminate good paying jobs for our community.
What it does!
The initiative amends the Port’s Master Plan to allow for mixed use development at the Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal. While not required, the proposed concept is to build a double-deck structure to allow maritime cargo uses to remain while building entertainment, hotels and potentially a sport stadium above.
Why Is Environmental Health Coalition Opposed to Prop B?
-
IGNORES THE NEIGHBORHOODS Prop B specifically deletes the requirement in the Port Master Plan that the Port work with its neighbors in Barrio Logan.
-
THREATENS MARITIME INDUSTRY The initiative allows for mixed use and claims to have the goal of preserving maritime operations and jobs, but does not guarantee the continuation of maritime uses.
-
GIVES PUBLIC LAND TO A PRIVATE DEVELOPER The initiative requires private development of the Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal and eliminates consideration of public and community needs.
-
SETS BACK POLLUTION REDUCTION EFFORTS EHC, labor, community members, and waterfront industries are working with the Port to make it clean and safe for workers and neighbors.
Don’t be deceived – this initiative is not about good planning, but about greed. It would turn over publicly owned waterfront land to real estate developers.
