Then again, the tale of Safeway's decadelong effort to expand in Burlingame might be instructive too. The grocer was forced to give up renovation plans in 1998 because it was too ambitious, and then again in 2004 when it got twice as ambitious. Third time's the charm for everyone involved — with community input this time around, everyone seems to be happier with the Burlingame plans. Things might be playing out the same way for the Outer Richmond, where the company left some designs undrawn, to let the community decide, naturally. [SF Examiner]
