VIDEO. From the San Mateo County Planning Commission on Wednesday, April 9th, 2025 at 9:00am, as a hybrid meeting. Ex-MCC member and Surfer’s Beach Appeal party, Len Erickson, speaks during Public Comment. SLR = Sea Level Rise.

From the California Coastal Commission meeting on Thursday, November 14th, 2024 held at the Hyatt Regency in San Francisco, as a hybrid meeting. Thursday Agenda Items #9a and #9b.

Also of note in the CCC staff report discussion: “To be clear, all of these improvements are probably best understood as temporary, as ultimately this stretch of highway will likely need to be relocated inland or substantially modified due to coastal hazard risks at Surfer’s Beach, including ongoing erosion that is accelerating with sea level rise.

In fact, Caltrans is already undertaking, as required by an existing 2015 CDP (1-98-057-A3), sea level rise adaptation planning for this stretch of highway, with an analysis and plan due June 2025, where Caltrans has already dedicated funds to a potential adaptation project here, with project development planning underway. Thus, all of the improvements associated with the project, including any offsetting parking improvements, mentioned above are really interim measures pending an adaptation project, where the latter could include realignments, causeways, or other significant alternatives.”
