LAFAYETTE, Calif. (KGO) -- A new housing development is up for discussion in Lafayette on the land where white crosses have dotted the hillside for decades. The white crosses across the street from the Lafayette BART station have become an iconic East Bay memorial for almost 20 years. But in 2023, a new owner and architect bought up a 3-acre parcel of the land and is proposing a development of new homes that would retain some open space and the memorial, which a nonprofit now oversees.
