Here are the headlines:

1. Port Community Advisory Committee seeks extension of 30 days to study 8,000-page EIR, which was received Thursday, Sept. 17.
2. Port refuses request from CSPNC to present 10 minutes of testimony at Sept. 29 hearing on SPWP
3. Analysis of Port staff's rush to expand cruise industry to Kaiser Point, which will become Disney Point: Port won't do downtown terminal expansion; the "luggage tent" stays.
   
4. San Pedro needs dramatic improvements to its waterfront. Downtown businesses need the growth that will come from attracting more consumers to our beautiful city. The plan should go forward now. The staff alternative of putting a cruise terminal in the Outer Harbor right away is a bridge too far. Cruise passenger volumes are off 30% from their peak in 2005. They are not predicted to return to that level for 14 years, if ever. A better result and the same impact on the cruise industry can be had for much much less money. Focus on downtown first.
5. Kaiser/Disney Point terminal facing Cabrillo Beach threatens recreational boating and limits access to Cabrillo marinas.
