Tell us the truth

Dear Mayor Bach and Council members: It is with urgency and grave concern that I write to you concerning the little I know about the toxic site opposite America the Beautiful Park and the Trestle Building ("Chemical reactions," cover story, April 24).

My concern is primarily twofold: first, that the public has not been at all well informed about the extent of the contamination at the site and the probable contamination around the park and Trestle Building areas, and secondly, the public health issues that are at stake here.

I urge you, Mayor Bach and Council members, to commit to an open, transparent investigation and public airing of this "clean-up" situation, so that all concerned have a clearer and more factual picture of what has happened and is going on at the site.
