After an initial brainstorming session and a five-hour Saturday workshop that included a short hike to Mirada Surf, the Traffic & Trails charrette will conclude with the presentation of some concepts developed as a result of those meetings.
I had an opportunity to spend some time talking with Dan Burden, the consultant who is managing the process and saw some of the ideas they’re working on.
It includes a vision of Highway 1 unlike anything you’ve seen, perhaps in the entire state.
Come to the presentation of the concept plan, Tuesday, June 30 in the El Granada Elementary School multiuse room at 7pm.

Julia was six and as soon as she got out of the car, she put her hands on her ears. I don’t blame her. I’ve been keeping track of sound levels in my ...
The Coastside's uninsured need your help, Mar 15 5:51pm, Suzanne Black — Excellent article, Cheryl. It brings home the national argument over health care reform.
