Why This Vote Matters
The council voted 8-1 to give the city manager authority to negotiate with developer Toll Brothers about completing a required Bay Trail extension at Brickyard Landing, with a September deadline if talks fail. The developer was supposed to build this section of the regional walking and biking path as part of their approved project, but the city is now discussing whether residents can move in before the trail is finished. With only Councilmember McLaughlin dissenting, the council directed the city manager to use "whatever leverage necessary" to resolve the issue. This matters because it could affect when new residents can occupy homes at the development and ensures the public gets the promised trail connection around San Francisco Bay.
