LOL…the support pillars are not that large. This is just concern-trolling on the part of Nimbys.

A lot of the FAA fee is used to fund the various airport facilities, so yes it does make sense to charge on per-passenger basis.

No, it is not legal. This bike path is part of the Bay Trail, which was enacted by State legislation, and served as mitigation for environmental damage done by Caltrans highway work. The BCDC was specifically created by the legislature to ensure maximum feasible public access to the Bay. So voting to close the path violates any number of laws and policies.

As for driving while distracted by the phone…yeah that’s also illegal.

This excuse is BS. Unpaid traffic tickets can already result in a bench warrant and arrest even without the court summons.
