Responding to letter about Milk plazaThis is in response to Brian Springfield's letter to the editor [October 7], regarding the historical resource evaluation for Harvey Milk Plaza.
Few of your readers have probably read the report prepared by preservation planners in the San Francisco Planning Department, so it would not be obvious just how selective and misleading Springfield's references were in defense of demolishing and replacing everything we now know as Harvey Milk Plaza.If the preservation planners had intended to only identify the sidewalk assembly area fronting Castro Street as eligible for listing in the State Registry of Historical Resources, they would have done so.
