With Rebuild Approved, Trinity Plaza Tenants Look to FutureKen Werner, Trinity Plaza Tenants Association (TPTA)byline‚ Apr. 20‚ 2007On April 10, the full Board of Supervisors heard the first reading of the Trinity Plaza rebuild and voted unanimously to approve the project. On April 17 the project received its second unanimous approval as part of the Consent Agenda, and the following day the matter was sent to the Mayor for his signature, or veto. Mayor Newsom now has 10 days (deadline Saturday, April 28) to sign off on the project or veto it. As readers remember, in March 2006 Newsom vetoed the Anti-Demolition Ordinance that was aimed at preserving Trinity Plaza and other rent-controlled buildings. The Board of Supervisors was unable to override the Mayor’s veto when Sup. Bevan Dufty switched his vote. However, Newsom is expected to sign his approval of the project soon. |
