Here is the update on the quonset hut demolition that is underway at Benicia City Hall parking lot on East K Street. The plan is to tear down the quonset huts and repair the parking lot, then add solar panels as a means of revenue, energy and shade.

These Google Map photos show the quonset huts prior to demolition.
It's not going to look bad. I saw the artist's rendering, and it will be a definite improvement. Although I could appreciate the history and quaintness of the quonset huts, let's face it. They were ugly. In the above photo, you can really see that precarious retaining wall. Below is a photo taken September 19. I was almost run over by a dump truck while I was taking this photo.
It's a shame they had to chop down so many sycamore trees.
For a more comprehensive overview of the project,
go here. (I'm too lazy.)
