A committee to protect San Francisco Bay recommended Wednesday that the Port of Oakland keep Charles P. Howard Terminal for maritime use rather than allowing theThe Seaport Planning Advisory Committee voted 5-4-1 to recommend to the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission that Howard Terminal be maintained for Port use.
Wednesday's vote by the Seaport Planning Advisory Committee, whose main aim is to prevent San Francisco Bay fill, is not binding. It's merely a recommendation. Bryan Brandes, maritime director of the Port of Oakland and a member of the advisory committee, was in support of allowing the A's to build a ballpark at Howard Terminal. Brandes said the Port will have enough land to help handle regional cargo needs if it grows moderately.
Those besides Brandes in favor of allowing the A's to use Howard Terminal were Alan Wolken, director of the Port of Richmond, Kara Vuicich with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission/Association for Bay Area Governments, and Diane Oshima with the Port of San Francisco, who felt the committee needed more information to make a recommendation.
