While she acknowledged the city’s general plan, Anderson nonetheless urged Elk Grove Bobbie Singh-Allen and her four council members to protect riparian corridors. She specifically cited the proliferation of self-storage units being developed in the city.
Referencing the general plan, Anderson said, “I don’t know how we can open that back up to say protect our riparian corridors, do not put mini storage places along riparian corridors…”

You can't help but be sympathetic with Sharon Anderson's concerns about habitat protection. Unfortunately, that ship has sailed, or in this case, that bird has flown the coop.
The most we can hope for is a pigeon preserve on top of Gil Moore's billboard.
