The videos below record a public meeting held in El Granada on 5/26/11 featuring a 'Presentation of Plan Concepts' for the improvement of roadway and trails on the Coastside Highway 1 corridor from Devil's Slide Tunnel (south portal) to the Half Moon Bay Airport. This meeting only presented conceptual or preliminary design proposals.

This is phase 2 of a study of Highway 1 on the Coastside; phase 1 (2009) covered Highway 1 from the airport south to Miramar. The study is sponsored by San Mateo County. The goal of the planning process is to improve safety and mobility for pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists. A previous set of public meetings & workshops intended to solicit public input is featured in another Coastside Video News webpage and video here:
