The Point Reyes Station Village Association sent a letter to Caltrans last week asking for a comprehensive update on plans for the Green Bridge and, in particular, whether the state agency is considering a seismic retrofit. According to an analysis by one resident who has closely followed the planning process, community members who commented on the project’s proposed alternatives largely favored a retrofit over a replacement. (The comment period ended in June.) “Caltrans asked for community input, and received it,” the association’s letter states. “In light of this overwhelming community opposition to Caltrans’ proposal, we are very concerned about Caltrans’ silence. We fear that one of these days Caltrans will simply issue a final decision without any further dialogue with the community and without any advance notice, and that such a decision will be to implement the proposal (or one of the other tear-down-and-replace options) despite the community’s opposition to it.” Robert Haus, chief of public information for Caltrans, said the agency received the letter and is “developing a response to the many issues raised.” David Moser, an attorney who co-owns a second home adjacent to the bridge, obtained the complete body of comments submitted during the public comment period. In an op-ed penned for the Light last month, he wrote that 90 percent of the comments to Caltrans, which came from over 300 individuals and groups, opposed the construction of a new bridge. “It’s great that [the village association] is reaching out and being proactive,” Mr. Moser said. “Hopefully our elected officials will take the cue and do the same.” The final environmental impact report is scheduled for release by next summer, according to Supervisor Dennis Rodoni’s aide Rhonda Kutter. That document will zero in on one of the four proposed replacement designs. This isn’t the first time the village association has taken a stance on the Green Bridge; the group wrote a letter to Caltrans in 2015 that opposed the replacement proposal in favor of a retrofit. The group was particularly worried about the effects on local businesses and raised concerns over the aesthetics of the four proposed designs, writing that they were “disruptive and disturbing to the historic and rural character of the town.”
