A pedestrian is killed near HMB Airport

I like the map link, by the way.

I think there’s room for coverage of locally signficant events that are ephemeral news stories. What were all those sirens about? What was the cause of the power outage? Midcoast-L is sometimes useful in that regard, but a reported story is better.

The two recent fatalities illustrate the fact that not all of HMB’s traffic problems are on Hwy 1 and solvable by adding more traffic lights.

Hello,

I think stories such as the incident on airport road and bodies washing up on the beach should be a high priority for your web site. Fortunately, these type incidents are rare, but I think local residents would like to be informed of these tragedies as well as less dramatic news worthy events. The Half Moon Bay review is woefully inadequate in reporting local news items because they are a weekly publication. Things of interest occur daily on the coast side and I believe we need a daily type publication reporting current events and news items. I don’t want to wait until Wednesdays to find out what happened last week. To me local activity is far more personal and interesting than the daily drivel inundating the major news networks from Reuters and AP Wire. Yes, like the previous responder stated I want to know what the sirens are about, I want to know the issues involving dogs on the beach, I want to know the full story of buoys washing up on the shore, I want to know about storm and flooding problems, so much stuff that mostly never makes a public forum. You asked for input and I know the scope of my vision for a local daily reporting media is a major undertaking, but if enough people pooled their talents and resources perhaps it’s a possibility.

I feel that the story is very important. It is true that the HMB Review is lacking in its duty of reporting the news. Events of local interest occur everyday, yet the paper comes out once a week. For example a long time resident being arrested for Dui coupled with an accident resulting in a fatality. I do have one critique though. The sentence or two that you reported was substantially insufficient. More coastsiders would be interested in your pieces if they were more complete as well as more timely then the review. And lastly, why not?

I’ve decided that this kind of news is indeed important, but I don’t expect to do much more than supply headlines and pointers to coverage elsewhere.

The real need for expanded coverage isn’t on tragedies like this. I think the Review has told us all we need to know, and probably all that can be known about this.

But there are plenty of other issues where more coverage and discussion will benefit the community.
