The driver who killed two cousins and injured four others in a crash on El Camino Real in San Bruno in July pleaded not guilty in court today.

Rodney Corsiglia, 49, of San Bruno has been charged with two counts of murder, vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence causing injury and death.

On July 28, Corsiglia, who had a and was driving on a suspended license, apparently  Arnulfo Picazo and Usbaldo Gomez, who were stopped at a light at Sneath Lane and El Camino Real.

Corsiglia also struck two other vehicles that were stopped at the intersection. 

Corsiglia appeared in court wearing a red prisoner's jumpsuit, and his attorney entered his plea on his behalf during a brief hearing while several family members of Picazo and Gomez sat in the audience.

I see that I meant to type "...that connect us to the past," but I accidentally typedRead More "...and connect us to the past." I think my meaning came through, though. Yes, the world does not need another national chain retail store or restaurant, which is surely what they're planning to put in there.

Yes Bren, agree with you....good point.....really what it seems to come down to is money vs. theRead More good of the community and richness of traditions. And all despite the Master Plan for that site in San Mateo that seems to require an ice skating rink or similar recreational facility AT THAT SITE, and all despite the fact the Ice Chalet would like to continue operations there. The Developer has made it difficult to impossible for any ice rink to operate there (tricky it seems)....so they can get a cookie cutter retail outlet in ? .....very, very sad for the youth of the community.

I think the issue is much larger than whether children will experience stress. That ice rink is aRead More local institution, dating back at least to when Fashion Island was there. It's terrible for communities to lose so many landmarks and connect us to the past.
