Is big Fairfield City Hall picking on small businesses in Fairfield? There is an interesting twisted way Fairfield uses new city street names to help their businesses friends. By helping some business friends, it's hurting others in twisted ways. The methods the city uses can be subtle or not even realized by the common Fairfield voter.
This time the drama was about how Fairfield picks street names to perhaps help their commercial real estate developer buddies. Fairfield's reasonably new Business Center roadway could have received a different street name. Did Fairfield planning forget that the term "Business Center" is too similar to the name used for the professional office building on the main Fairfield gateway into downtown?
Business Center drive is too similar to California Business Center™. It's a political battle over key word terms.
California Business Center™ mentioned the potential confusion many times to Fairfield Planning, but nothing changed. People have agreed the Business Center drive could change its name from "Business Center" to "Fairfield Business Avenue". But this would be too disruptive for Business Center street's tenants. The US trademark office won't act unless a suit is filed.
This is only one of many examples used by Fairfield Planning to confuse or divert business away from California Business Center™. The business center on the main Fairfield gateway into downtown operates Solano Business Incubator designed to help new and growing small businesses. Small businesses are expected to create most of the new jobs coming to Solano County, barring further city interference.
"Business Center" is clearly not in the center of Fairfield that the city promised to further improve. Instead the planning strategy is to divert attention from the central business district to Fairfield's other "Business Center".
If one can't quite remember the name for "California Business Center" but remembers "business center" and knows they are in fairfield, one might google it. As there are many Fairfield townships in the world, they might add "California" to the search. But googling, "Fairfield" and "business center" and "California" will largely direct people to Business Center dr instead. Just another aspect to consider. What came up today was TheRealPlaces.com and many other sites along with CaliforniaBusinessCenter.com, etc.
There are many other examples for how Unfair Fairfield City Hall used "Business Center" to help friends and fight their friend's business competitors. Guess why voters can't vote for who gets onto the Fairfield Planning Commission? Planners are very sophisticated in the art of planning and helping their buddies. Planning is a sophisticated art that has lots of power, and is to explain for most of Fairfield's crime and other problems today.
North Connector will link into Business Center drive. The other confusion factor should be solved by Dec 2010 or the next month or so. Are planners indirectly using the money that was to improve the link from highway I-80 to downtown Fairfield to instead help their buddies on Business Center drive?
Do Fairfield planners want Business Center dr to link with Suisun Valley rd, Suisun parkway, and Mangels blvd? More details at http://www.dailyrepublic.com/ (password required).
Another example of street name swapping is found in this FixFairfield blog titled "City Stole Gateway From West Texas St?" This is another political use for hurting central Fairfield, while helping the new businesses surrounding Solano Mall.
Look more at the pattern of Fairfield City Council pushing its interests against certain parties, than at just the use of street names. Then one will get a wider perspective of where Fairfield city hall's real alliances are.
