Welcome to  TreasureIslandOnline.net, a news and events blog for residents of Treasure Island/Yerba Buena Island, San Francisco.

For the past few years this site has been a combined news/events blog and home for our local community group, Good Neighbors of Treasure Island & Yerba Buena Island. Now that Good Neighbors has an official organizational website (see menu item on left below) some functions will be transferred to them, namely - the community calendar, resource listings, history, Island safety, etc.)

I hope you will continue to visit TreasureIslandOnline.net for island news and events, and visit Good Neighbors to become more active in our community.

Update: Oracle Invades Island

Monday, 20 September 2010

Its that time of year again when Oracle invades the island to host a customer appreciation event. Last year the event was so loud that people from other parts of the bay complained! calls to Oracle where not replied and the entertainment commission (responsible for the level of noise) shifted the blame to TIDA.

For two weeks ahead of the event, and two weeks after Oracle will disrupt the island bus line without even a thank you to the Island residents.

See the notice below:

 Please be advised that Oracle Open World Customer Appreciation Private Event will be taking place in Hangar 3 and the parking lot adjacent on September 22, 2010 from 7pm – 1am.  There will be an outdoor stage in the parking lot, and amplified sound will be permitted. The Entertainment Commission staff will be onsite working with sound engineers to minimize impact. The SFPD will also be on site to assist.

 Questions before the event, please call the Entertainment Commission at 554-5793.     

Thank you for your attention

 San Francisco Entertainment Commission

 

The producer of the event, Hartmann Studios, will have a number you can call into DURING the event to register any complaints about any problems related to the event, including sound, traffic, bus re-routing, etc.  The number, 415-677-4019.  , will staffed by employees throughout the event between 7 pm and 1 am. If you make a complaint, please let Good Neighbors know by leaving a message on our answering machine at 415-520-6653.

TreasureIslandOnline.net is my personal blog.  This is not a "Good Neighbors" post, and I am posting on behalf of myself only. I am posting this because I want to encourage all residents of TI/YBI to you step outside your comfort zone and become involved in your own future...

TIDA has been hosting a number of meetings on the Island this past week regarding the next steps in re-development of the Islands. If you have not been to one of the meetings, I want to strongly encourage you to attend tonight (see www.TreasureIslandSF.org for details).

There will be more presentations in the future, on other aspects, but this current series is important because they set the tone, and  talk about an upcoming survey to determine our population and future housing needs, and because its a chance to bring up your concerns.

This issue and topic is close and personal all residents hearts and minds... you need to become personally involved. I may not be able to attend tonight myself because of a personal situation, but please, if you have not gone yet --- go tonight.

--M-
