gates that once blocked the anacostia river waterfront near the washington navy yard are now open, but because of security concerns, restrictions remain. news4's megan mcgrath joins us from the riverwalk with today's grand opening. megan, good morning. >> reporter: the riverwalk behind the navy yard was supposed to open years ago. then the 9/11 attack occurred and everything was put on hold. the navy had to figure out a way to keep their facility safe while permitting access to the public. well, that security plan is in place. this morning the rip walk opened to the public for very first time. on a damp and chilly day, it's pretty quiet. but when the weather improves this picturesque promenade is expected to be a lunchtime favorite. the navy today opened their section of the riverwalk to the public, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. monday through friday, people can enjoy the 2300-foot walkway along the anacostia river. >> i think that's a pretty nice thing, especially during lunchtime. something to do. >> something new. something the children and grandchildren you can show them. have an out

hunters point and the hunters point mantra that it is the navy's responsibility. the e.i.r. states page 4 p 15 that there are only two sites with radioactive implications. sites 12 and building 233. but there are other sites including 31-33 and site 12, which makes up nearly 25% of the island, a claim that only a small sporgs contaminated is not accurate. the popular plutonium 229 has made an appearance. everywhere they have looked for it they have found it. remember, if the ground water is very high, you can put activated material in a foot of water and not see it. potentially much of the island is toxic. last week i went to treasure island to review it and it is public. i was told the minutes were not yet available for 2010 much less 2011. that is a cover up. first the island should be completely surveyed for contamination. at the end of the day, the navy will be presenting -- should you consider certifying the e.i.r. thank you. >> thank you. >> good evening commissioners and board members. my name is nancy shanahan here to urge you to please require the e.i.r. to be revis

>> the property is owned by the navy. we have negotiated a conveyance agreement where they will transfer the property to us. that is a negotiated agreement that is part of the package of approvals. that is transferred and owned by the city. it is now the city. but they will have the ownership of the property. the property will be redrawn, lines will be redrawn so that there are seats -- streets and parks that are owned in development parcels. after the improvements and the infrastructure development, they will transfer the land to the developer. >> when redevelopment ceases to exist, as a redevelopment agency, how do you redefine the legal basis of the transition or whatever you want to collect? >> we have the same questions. it was created prior to [unintelligible] it was a non-profit public benefit corporation. it was created prior to the state law that was adopted that gave the city the authority to designate it as a redevelopment agency. if it is stripped of its redevelopment power, it goes back to what it was or curre

. >>> the navy stepped up the efforts today to inform people about the cleanup at the former hunter's point shippingiard in san fran. it held an informational meeting at family connections. the environment ali protection agency, that overseas the cleanup, says the meeting was aimed at members of the chinese american community and was a result of the survey the navy conducted about its communication. >> we know the navy was not reaching a brood enough portion ever the community before. one thing they are doing differently is reach out to segments of the community. >> the navy operated a shipyard at hunter's point from 1941 to 1974 and turn today over to the city in the '90s. the lanar corporation has been contracted to develop it for homes, parks and commercial space. >>> hundreds of students, parents, community members spend the day giving the school a make over. paint rollers and vol uner toos making -- volunteers making changes at the east palo alto charter school. this is the 10th east palo alto school fixed up. >> the schools are beaten up. they are behind the 8 ball trying to kee

who will control the oil production? first, a royal navy crewmen has been shot dead and a second critically wounded on board of a british nuclear power submarine. the police arrested a sailor from its crew. >> alongside southampton's ocean liner was the navy's showpiece submarines, a crime scene. this is the cramped control room, the nerve center of the vessel. sources say soon after midday, one crew member, thought to be in able seaman, opened fire on two other members of the crew, believed the officers. events unfolding under the eyes of those who live near the port. >> i looked out at the submarine, keeping an eye on it recently. i was astonished to see a person being lifted onto a stretcher up the gang went into a waiting ambulance. >> one died, the other received life threatening injuries. the man with the gun was overpowered by those around him, including three members of the civic council, on board to take a tour of the submarine. the navy's newest nuclear power submarine gained some notoriety when she ran aground last october. for c

entered into a leasehold agreement at the time and invested $10 million in the moderate rehab of the navy units at that time. the youth -- the use is interim, not permanent. we now have approximately 1,000 residents that are still on our lease out there. treasure eeled has a particular fond spot in my heart, because would like to see its reincarnation in a positive way. i'm dating myself, so don't do any mental arithmetic. we have been working with a firm for many years now and they've been transparent, very direct, very thorough, very professional in the transition plan. and in the course of that

the navy should do the cleanup. i would suggest we build the necessary fortifications to save the lives of the people who are there right now. i participated in other cda's and they never kept their promise. hunters point eliminated rental units. they neutralized the community fund. the cannot be trusted. that is my subjective opinion. what we need here is some deliberation about the financing aspect. the infrastructure financing district has not been tried or tested on such a large scale. we just cannot take it for granted. what we have here is a moving target with a lot of amendments , the documentation that is not transparent. you notice the same three planning commissioners who were against hunters point were against treasure island. we need to get a bigger group of planners on our side. i know the developer wants to make money. but for some consistency, we have to provide good affordable housing. we did this at the presidio with swords to plowshares. i know what i am talking about. i am in talks with the united

our agreement with the navy and state lands agency remains the same. the only difference would be this reduction in affordable housing with the chance to get back up to 35 percent said. we do intend to seek legislative changes to change the law to make them easier to use for large scale projects. allowing the general use of affordable housing and perhaps requiring a certain percentage for affordable housing, much like redevelopment does, and we are working with affordable housing advocates, affordable housing providers to craft these changes to state law as well as our redevelopment agency and our public finance folks here in the city. we look at a couple of other options to get to the same result and actually try to minimize the impact to affordable housing. i will just show you three here. we are not recommending them, but they are options that we can discuss and consider. one is reducing the inclusion very percentage to 0. remember, it is currently 5%. this would allow you to get 400 units of affordable housing back. you would lose the $300 of affor

are very happy to talk about it today on mosaic and father ed murray a chaplain for many years in the navy. thank you for being with us. >> my pleasure to be here. >> sherry a patient navigator in the cancer center, a nurse and local girl you live in st. stevens your children went to school there. we are happy to have you with us. >> thank you. >> we have talked about the cancer center before. it is somewhat difficult for us to look at cancer from a hopeful perspective the way things have been over the years my father suffered there cancer. back in those days, in the 70s. things were primitive. today things are up to age especially with a place like the cancer center. do you want to tell us about it father murray? >> well, it is a very wonderful place to visit, i go down there frequently to visit patients in the infusion center. what i have always been impressed by is the quality of care on the part to have staff. you know medicine is certainly a lot of high end technology and drugs and so forth, but it has to always have a human face and human hand. what i find in watching the staff deali

>> one of the things they do is take care of the navy fleet. the ships that they have in the pacific are primarily under the chief of naval operation staff in support of the navy. the ships they take care of a for me are the medium speed road ships that we activate if we cannot get the commercial lift to be able to do that. right now, we have not had to be activating these large ships because the commercial capability has been there. i know that they're committed to using guam. the msc commander has gone through this with you. it had to do with the dry dock in guam. right now, that is the constraint, as i understand it, and we do $40 million and guam does most of the work but not under my umbrella. >> i am very concerned because we have about 350 workers in that private shipyard. and was one of the things that i fought for a few years ago. buy america. i want to make sure that is being carried out. my final question is also for you, general mcnabb of. it is in regards to rotating aircraft support. a rotating aircraft, which in the past has been

i was a member in 1949 and 1995 we -- 1994 and 1995 we sued the navy to kick start the cleanup. in 1996, we started despite our concerns about ferry and transit. the problem for me is that the balance struck by the prior project has been undone by the new units of housing. nothing in the comments and responses gives me comfort that our concerns have been understood and that recent changes to the plans in response to governor's efforts that we find very discomforting. anyone who sat in traffic who has ever sat in traffic for two hours to pay and arm and a leg to cross the george washington bridge or the lincoln tunnel knows that when incentives for driving are there, people will pay the price. saying that what is overstated, the impact to the project and the e.i.r., it is barely adequately posted in the april 21 memo. the adjustments to the plan have changed. the project of the point of requiring circulation, we should not shrink from measuring twice to cut once. in the long run, it will be the shortest route to a sustainable project. thank you very much. have a good evening. >>

i joined the u.s. navy in 1977 when i matriculated at the medical school in bethesda. my parents continue afford to send me, the only way to do it was a full scholarship, you just pay them back 12 years of your life, and i stayed on for 24 because it was that exciting. i learned a lot from the military. it really allowed me o become the person i am. and the things i really learned about was focusing on what the mission was about. what was our job, what was our mission, and that supersedes somebody's ego, supersedes whatever's going on. the other thing it taught me was respect for authority. and looking at my leaders and the people i served under, i was really fortunate to have wonderful role models and mentors who believed in me and guided me along and promoted me along the way. also taught me to be understanding and look out for my troops, the people who served with me and under me because you really, you're only as good as the people you work with and work as a team. i learned about camaraderie, but i also learned about not burning your bridges because sooner or late
