Greenbelt Alliance In the News
May 26, 2006 Bay Area's open space at risk during next 30 years State briefs SAN FRANCISCOMore than 400,000 open space acres near growing Bay Area cities could be swallowed up by housing and other development within the next three decades if local governments don't enact stricter ordinances containing sprawl, a new study found. The Greenbelt Alliance survey released Thursday found improving open space protections throughout the nine-county region, with more than 1 million acres now permanently protected from development, up 27 percent since 2000. But 125,200 open space acres are at ''high risk'' of development within the next 10 years, and 276,200 more are at ''medium risk'' within the next 30 years, the report found. ### |
