Dear Catherine Damn those handicapped people and their so-called caretakers!!!! This is another developer give-away. get those fakers out of their wheelchairs and wearhouse the old people over the hill where they belong. Get them out of our intersections and everything will be ok. Looking at handicapped people makes me feel bad, too. Thanks for update on the BOS. I think that actual growht rate on the midcoast has been under 2% on average for the past 20 years which is modest by any standard. True…

Mike, ok I'm sorry. I admitt it hard to keep track of all the problems with that park. no appraisal prior to purchase and a lot of lawyers from residents affected properties wanting some documents, poor planning for access and on and on. Tell me Mike, is there no better place for an active park in HMB than near the center of the most conjested intersection on the entire coastside of SMC? This thing just seemed to appear out of nowhere was there a maop with this location on it prior to the purchase.…

leneord, you certainly have a lot of useful information at your disposal. I am sorry that you think I am "attacking". I am sorry I went so low as use the "no-growth" label. I don't see the ped problem on the highway here that there is in HMB. There are smaller roads parallel to HW1 from El Granada to Montara and the coastal trail serves nicely as a bike highway to HMB. The shoulder is also wide and there is less traffic on the “county road” as you call it. I did have a hearty laugh at this discription…

Ray, Ray, Ray, The truth is that the no growth faction wins by getting nothing done or doing things piecemeal or very slowly. Not getting funding is a true victory. I want a job like that. do nothing and you have acomplished your goal. plan inadaquate improvements and you will get a bonus. Buy a park that is a basicly a toxic waste dump with riparian habitat and you are a hero. Notice there are no sidewalks on Highway one, no bike lanes and few crosswalks. hundreds of people risk their lives walking…

I believe Commecial development of visitor serving services in well defined urban coastal areas is encouraged by the coastal act to prevent the coast from becoming the private park of a few people. We have to share the coast with the flatlanders. THe harbor village is visitor serving. leonard and everyone else who has moved here is also part of the growth problem. What day was the last day when growth was allowable? I vote april 5, 1987, the day I moved here. Traffic was fine then. I am pretty left…

Mike, you can keep your cigars and smoke them in a back room. I don't like the smell. you say: "Trying to put the onus on a small city to resolve regional traffic problems only works with the uninformed." Unfortuately , the "regional" traffic funnels through your "small city". If you think I think that HMB should take the leadership role in transportation issues for the Midcoast then you are correct. It is something of a nexus for travel around here. Then you assume that I am in favor of the foothill…

Dear Mr. Mike Ferreira, What, then, do you think should be done with the traffic? the watered down improvements to 92 that you passed in HMB city Council will barely be sufficient to handle traffic on a good day with the slide open. With one percent growth the population of the HMB will double in 60 years +/- (I am not too good at math). This does not include elder housing, low income housing, migrant housing, additions, subdivision deals, teardown/rebuilds and increased traffic from schools, tourism…

maybe some people could do a guerrilla threatre at the meeting. do something to show how long the commute takes. Get a few people to wear signs that say "montara commuter" and have them take two hours to cross the meeting room. dress in black with white sign. move very slowly from one side of the room to the other. Any takers?

They look at the map and see that pacifica is on one side and we are on the other and they have no connnection to the reality of what it is like it is to live here. They live in boxes constructed by their educations and love powerpoint more than their children. their is no conspiracy; that would imply organizational ability. there is only institutionalized incompetance. What we have to do is get to that meeting and tell them what it is like to live here and what they need to do. (get the highway…

The foothill plan is a pie in the sky. just keep the light green at 92 west from three to seven and make main street south right turn only and 92 east no left turn. (Close main street to through traffic) no more lights should be added until the HWY 1 and 92 are four lanes for a few miles out of town in boht directions. A one way cut-off to the road that serves the H.S. from 92 to 1 would also add no lights and get traffic away from the intersection of 92 and main. Make HWY 1 north four lanes past…

Good onion article. Maybe we should have a chinese immersion class for the spanish speaking kids so they can get good jobs working the bourgoning trade between china and all the Americas. wierd but true that we have a spanish immersion class for the white kids to learn spanish and not much for the slower learning of the spanish kids who endure immersion as a sink or swim lesson in american politics.

I hope they put some solar panels on the big, flat roof of that exceeding ugly building to give it some kind of aesthetic purpose. It looks like a walmart parking structure.

Johnny, call me old-school, but I just like strikes, boycotts, and marches. But I like the sign idea on 92- let me see if I can find some cell numbers of some cal trans personel so we can contact them personally and they can add the calls as sound to their video feeds. ......... As far as th fix is concerned, they should just fix the gtrade and fill the cracks when it stops moving and let us drive on it and put a better gate up to stop traffic whn and if it goes. It will be far safer than the bay…

Since they are talking about designs for the fix they should be able to give us some timetable for the various solutions. I urge all to E-mail or call during their commute: David Anderson Information Officer 916-654-5820 Tamie McGowen Information Officer 916-653-5456 Robin Witt Information Officer 916-654-4108 The camera is pretty stupid if you ask me. There were ten cal trans workers fiddling with the light for most of the day at 92 and 35. that light is not the problem. shut mainstreet after 3…

oh yeah, I forgot to say that it was really nice having no phone on sunday. Maybe we could get it turned off every sunday and cancel driving too. Hand out flare guns if anyone needs 911 - though fox hunting horns might do the trick too and put us in a proper sunday mood. We could actually have a fox hunt too as long as I get to yell: "release the hounds... " (and we don't really kill any foxes either). (I hope that was a proper use of quotation marks) P.S. I hope people watch their use of quotation…

I finally have some use for my ham radio!!!! If anyone wants to communicate after the next disaster they can just write down their message on a slip of paper and leave it at my door!!. I'll transmitt it in morse code to the civil war re-enactment troop who can hand it off to the model train people who will carry it to some of my old D and D buddies from college and it will get there for sure !!!

Caltrans said at the meeting they would be using water sensitive explosives to stabilize a rock slide caused by water. For safety reasons they have to wait until the weather dries up.
We are able to go half way around the earth and blow up stuff in all kinds of climates for all kinds of reasons and we can't even set off a rock slide hanging over our heads until the weather dries up enough to use a water senative explosive!!!!!!!!!!! HELP ME MISTER WIZARD!!!!
