On Thursday afternoon, May 22, 2003, a group of activists set up a table (a “non-commercial display device� in Cityspeak) and proceeded to hand out
flyers and circulated a petition opposing the City Manager’s plan to eliminate seating from the planter space in front of Costa Brava and the Pacific Trading Company. Assistant City Manager Martin Bernal (420-5010) says that unless a City Councilmember objects, the construction will begin June 6th.
