Once the new improvements are completed at 3rd Ave (golf course), there
will probably be some good possibilities for a cam sight (on top of
high fences?). This could be an advantage over Coyote, I've seen it
blow at Coyote, and not 3rd. Coyote has a CotW sensor, and the SFO
info. 3rd is really lacking sensor data.
