VIDEO. From the San Mateo County Planning Commission meeting on February 28th, 2024 at 9:00am as a hybrid meeting. Four current public parking areas along Hwy 1 will be closed in the next couple of years.
And a followup video with Midcoast Community Council on Wednesday, February 28th, 2024 at 7:00pm as a hybrid meeting. Coastal local Lisa Ketcham, the Chair of the San Mateo County Planning Commissioner (and ex-MCC) summarizes the affect the Multi-Asset Project will have on parking along Hwy 1 from Coronado to Capistrano.

Ex-MCC council member, and volunteer Caltrans Liason, Len Ericksen, specifically calls out where this project will remove A LOT of parking on Hwy 1 where locals and visitors need access to the beach. This plan will force people to cross only at Capistrano or Coronado.
Be interesting how the California Coastal Commission, whose entire purpose is getting people access to the beach, would feel about this plan? Did you know the CCC forced Caltrans to replace the stairs for public access? The stairs are destroyed again, but the point is the the CCC may ask Caltrans for specific access remediation.
Have a listen.

Midcoast Community Council on Wednesday, February 28th, 2024 at 7:00pm
On Wednesday, February 28, the San Mateo County Planning Commission will consider a recommendation to approve the Caltrans Multi-Asset Project for SR1. In this project Caltrans will resurface and re-stripe the existing 12-foot-wide travel lanes and add Class II Bikeway striping (typically, 6 feet wide) with a 2-foot-wide buffer in the existing 8-foot-wide shoulder along the SR 1 corridor in both directions from Wavecrest Road to South of Marine Boulevard. Per California Vehicle Code Section 21209 VC, motorists can only drive on a bike lane to enter or leave the road, prepare for a turn at the intersection, or to access parking. The Class 2 bike lanes will have bike lane symbol painted on the pavement throughout the project, but “No Parking, Bike Lane” sign is only proposed at Surfers Beach northbound per proposed plan. No treatment is planned along the outside of the bike lane on SR1 northbound at Surfers Beach nor any blockage to the informal parking lot there.

Me
Having to agree with Caltrans on something is making me crazy, but getting rid of this dangerous and legally questionable parking is decades overdue. People should cross at Capistrano and Coronado, as exercising the least bit of common sense with the history of the location, safety, and traffic problems in mind would dictate. The dummeresel stairs were a stupid effort, doomed from the start by the kind of waves that took them out. Any stairs should be located near to the Coronado highway crossing away from the corner where waves riding the breakwater blast the shore.
Although it is seldom taken into consideration, Caltrans is required by legislation at the state level to maintain the Pacific Coast Bicycle Route in California. The highway shoulder here is part of that route and its presence is further justification for the Caltrans plan. This bicycle route originated as a 1700-mile bike route on the Pacific Coast between Canada and Mexico commemorating the 1976 Bicentennial, though the “Bicentennial” appellation has long since been dropped.
