On Tuesday, voters will decide the fate of Measure B, SunCal's development plan for Alameda Point.

Supporters say the measure will jump-start environmental cleanup and help prevent the ongoing decay of buildings, sewers and other infrastructure at the former Naval base, which closed more than a decade ago.

They also say SunCal's proposal — which calls for about 4,500 new housing units and 350,000 square feet of retail space — offers "green, sustainable, transit-oriented development at Alameda Point," according to their ballot argument.

Opponents disagree, vehemently.

They say SunCal's ballot measure will allow the developer to sidestep the city's planning process — and so give away local oversight — and that it will cause traffic congestion and other problems in the city's West End.
