Many residents say that The City’s zoning policies have long burdened the Bayview community, who are predominantly people of color and already suffer disproportionately from respiratory and other diseases compared to other neighborhoods.
A construction site at Gilman Avenue and Arelious Walker Drive in the Bayview district that has been blowing industrial dust into the paths of nearby homes, schools and playgrounds has been ordered to cease operations.
The order comes after months of heated complaints from residents in nearby townhomes and the Alice Griffith apartment buildings who watched as heavy trucks and earthmovers rolled into the vacant lots across the street and began crushing materials, kicking up dust and tracking dirt through the community, sometimes in uncovered vehicles.Gayle Hart lives across the street from the construction site.
Still, the order falls short of permanently curtailing industrial activity in the neighborhood by leaving open the possibility for the companies to apply for a temporary or interim land use authorization with OCII. The air district sent updates to District 10 Supervisor Shamann Walton’s office throughout January and February, records obtained by The Examiner show. The air district previously issued two violations to Bauman, one for operating without a permit and another for administrative violations.
