Timeline: HMB’s Pilarcitos Creek park site
The history of the Pilarcitos Creek park site can be confusing, unless you're one of the few dozen people who've been following it closely. And it doesn't help that the story has more subplots than the Sopranos. We put together a timeline of all the significant events in Half Moon Bay's history with the site to help you understand the process that got us here, and the time scale over which it took place.
Each event below is linked to a story on Coastsider or the Half Moon Bay Review, so you can read it for yourself. However, I'm not sure either site is a definitive source on this matter. I've always believed the park was a great thing for Half Moon Bay, and the Review's coverage has been unrelentingly negative. My all-time favorite Review headline: "City's 3 million parkland purchase upsets widow".
