Greetings Surfriders,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
For the last nine years I have been privileged to lead the Restore Sloat Campaign for the Surfrider Foundation’s San Francisco Chapter.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
It’s time to pass the torch.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
First and foremost, I want to thank each and every one of you who has helped this campaign in any way – from signing our petitions to attending public meetings to spreading the word about our efforts. I also want to give a shout out to those who just pick up trash when they go to the beach. You all are helping to defend and restore Ocean Beach.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
We have achieved a lot since the 2010 El Niño. At that point, SFDPW was ready to bury the entire Sloat shoreline under a pile of quarry stone boulders. We fought that misguided plan at the Coastal Commission and won. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
In the ensuing years we worked with our government agencies and the community to help shape a new erosion policy for Sloat – one that will lead to the restoration of our beach. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
There is much to be proud of. Again, thank you all.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Once again, thanks for your continued engagement through this very long process. The finish line is finally coming into our sights. <o:p></o:p></div>

Greetings Surfriders,<br />
<br />
We recently learned that the road consolidation and realignment project has been approved for CEQA processing at SF Planning. An article appeared in a recent issue of <a href="http://www.sfweekly.com/news/great-highway-reroute-coasts-through-planning-but-lacks-funding/?fbclid=IwAR3mifGI0DKgFVVDakWZVF03DXfFxhL_w5BW64swdBMapWgqQMWLIgoVFis">SF Weekly.</a> This is good news as the phase one project of managed retreat has been delayed now for nearly two years. The bad news is that there is no funding currently available. We will certainly be following up on the funding issue.<br />
<br />
In the mean time, your comment letters on behalf of this issue are still welcome! If you haven't written a letter yet, please do so now! The key decision-makers over the erosion site need to hear how important beach parking is at Sloat - both in the Phase and the Phase Two managed retreat projects.<br />
<br />
Here is a sample letter:<br />

Greetings Surfriders,<br />
<br />
<div style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
There was is another king tide on Monday January 21st Martin Luther King Day. We have a 7.1ft high tide at 10:53am (GG Bridge gauge) / apprx. 10:33am at Ocean Beach. This will be our largest high tide of the year.</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
King Tides are significant because they give us a glimpse into the future of sea level rise and what will our shoreline boundaries may look like.</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
How does this work? Currently, the average large high tide (what NOAA calls the mean higher high tide) is 5.84 ft. for the Golden Gate / SF Bay entrance tide gauge. <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/datums.html?id%3D9414290&source=gmail&ust=1547996778769000&usg=AFQjCNG_swK1exFpy882bvGcCQG59EOt0A" href="https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/datums.html?id=9414290" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">https://tidesandcurrent<wbr></wbr>s.noaa.gov/datums.html?id=9414<wbr></wbr>290</a></div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
Monday’s 7.1ft king tide will therefore be 1.26ft or about 15” above our average large high tide. By 2050, the state of California projects there to be 16” of sea level rise. So Monday’s king tide will be close to the predicted new sea level rise average large high tide for 2050.</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">

<div style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
You can help us spread awareness of the impact of sea level rise on our beaches. Just take some photos of your favorite stretch of shoreline around 10:30am (again the tides arrive :20 mins earler on the beach compared to the Golden Gate). Then, send the pics in to the Ca King Tides Project and share them with your friends on social media. Please be sure to copy a link to our sea level rise planning petition! <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=https://secured.surfrider.org/action/engagement?actionId%3DAR0024609%26id%3D701i00000018YoU&source=gmail&ust=1547996778769000&usg=AFQjCNG279cmSScYZplDQKofGSsmD_cwCg" href="https://secured.surfrider.org/action/engagement?actionId=AR0024609&id=701i00000018YoU" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">https://secured.surf<wbr></wbr>rider.org/action/engagement?ac<wbr></wbr>tionId=AR0024609&id=701i000000<wbr></wbr>18YoU</a></div>

Season's Greetings Surfriders,<br />

<div>
Thanks to all who have helped in the effort to restore and preserve Ocean Beach this year. Here's a short highlight list of the 2018 campaign:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>1. Secured the passage of the Local Coastal Plan (LCP) amendment.</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The amendment we helped shape is a zoning regulation which now allows for beach restoration at Sloat through managed retreat. We submitted written and oral comments every step of the way on the LCP. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>2. Mounted a principled opposition to the Westside Pumpstation Upgrade.</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Pumpstation upgrade will improve our water quality, but will probably need to be protected by armoring at some future point. We opposed the permit on this ground and the fact that the permit did not include an alternatives analysis containing a landward configuration option for the project. Although we lost this fight, Surfrider needed to make a point that all new development along Ocean Beach should be planned in such a way as to avoid exposure to erosion.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>3. Launched a campaign to include new parking in the upcoming road project.</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Over the years, the beach community has lost most of our coastal access parking south of Sloat. A road relocation/consolidation project is coming up soon, and Surfrider is mounting a campaign to ensure parking is included in the plans. It's not too late to help. Just write a letter - instruction are on the December 5th post below.<br />
<br />
Thanks again to all. Enjoy the holiday surf!</div>

Greetings Surfriders,<br />
<br />
The fight to ensure parking improvements for south Ocean Beach is on. At last month's Coastal Commission hearing at Fisherman's Wharf, we testified for the need for parking improvements at Sloat and the need for their inclusion in the upcoming road re-alignment project. <br />
<br />
Surfrider contends that our request for parking improvements is only fair as we have been told for several years now that new parking for beach access was to be included in this project. The Phase One plan was to accomplish this by repurposing the abandoned southbound lanes. A graphic of this proposal can be found posted on the walls of the Sloat restroom. See text in picture - "parking in abandoned lanes".<br />
<br />
To help us in this effort, please send a letter to the SF Department of Public Works, the agency in charge of executing the road project. However, definitely CC (carbon copy) to the North Central District office of the Coastal Commission, Supervisor Katy Tang, Supervisor Peskin, SF Rec. and Park Director Phillip Ginsburg, Benjamin Grant at SPUR and Brian Aviles at the National Parks Service. These are key entities that will be deciding the fate of beach access parking for the Sloat area.<br />

Greetings Surfriders,<br />
<br />
This year, a joint study was released by the Nature Conservancy and the Ca Coastal Conservancy concerning the impacts of sea level rise to the California coast. The news is not good for our beach ecosystems.<br />
<br />
The report <a href="http://coastalresilience.org/project/conservation-assessment/">Conserving California's Coastal Habitats: A<i> Legacy and a Future with Sea Level Rise</i> </a>predicts that even five feet of sea level rise will threaten 60% of the state's upper beach habitats. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(The report defines the upper beach area as the portion of sand from the average high tide line to the dunes, bluffs and other habitats).</span><br />
<br />
For us locally, this spells a major threat to our seabirds. From sand pipers to snowy plovers, sea level rise and enhanced erosion could lead to a submerged shoreline. Without managed retreat, much of San Francisco and Pacifica's shoreline could be permanently submerged. Many seabirds need sandy beaches to feed, rest or breed.<br />
<br />
The Nature Conservancy assessment does have a positive message. The report states that if we act now, we can avoid and/or mitigate much of the damage. Managed retreat and shoreline restoration projects are singled out in the report as having a critical role.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Surfrider urges you to get involved to ensure we meet this challenge. </u></b> Stay tuned for the next public hearing for Sloat which should happen later this fall. Shoot us an email at erosionob@gmail.com or <a href="https://www.blogger.com/follow.g?view=FOLLOW&blogID=1791055201217643881">follow this blog</a> if you want to be directly notified of such events. <br />

Greetings Surfriders,<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A few months ago, while we were in the midst of demanding fair treatment of a landward alternative for PUC's pumpstation upgrade, a new Ca state <a href="http://www.opc.ca.gov/webmaster/ftp/pdf/agenda_items/20180314/Item3_Exhibit-A_OPC_SLR_Guidance-rd3.pdf">sea level rise guidance document</a> was released. Written for state and local planning agencies, the new guidance document contains a major revision of sea level rise projections for the entire state. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The new numbers are shocking. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sea level rise planning for our project at Sloat has been using a worst case scenario of five and one half feet of sea level rise by the year 2100. This was the worst case scenario projection which was endorsed by the Ca Coastal Commission.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><u>Now, the state has revised the worst case sea level rise projection for 2100. The upper end projection is now 10 feet!</u></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Needless to say, this has major implications for our campaign work at both Sloat and Pacifica.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The state is asking all public agencies to, at a minimum, develop contingency plans for the new worst case scenario of 10' of sea level rise by 2100. This includes projects (such as ours) that are in already in planning. According to the Ca Ocean Protection Council, "adaptation pathways" or contingency plans for ten feet of sea level rise should be included in all projects that could be affected by the rising ocean. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
These new projections mean serious changes may need to be made both to the new Westside Pumpstation project and the long-term managed retreat and infrastructure protection plan for Sloat. Without a doubt, we will continue to track this issue. </div>

Greetings Surfriders,<br />
<br />
Pacifica is currently undertaking its own Local Coastal Plan (LCP) update. As explained in prior posts, an LCP is a city or town’s management plan for its coastal zone.<br />
<br />
Public meetings for Pacifica’s LCP have already begun. Apparently, there is a contingent very hostile to any talk of managed retreat. Once again, unfounded fears are being spread linking managed retreat to neighborhood flooding at Sharp Park.<br />
<br />
Managed retreat includes the word “managed” for a reason. Relocation of threatened shoreline structures are managed. Serious issues such as coastal flooding are accounted for and addressed.<br />
<br />
For example, at Sloat, San Francisco's managed retreat plan will include protections for the nearby wastewater infrastructure. Sand dunes and restored beach areas are to work in conjunction with a buried seawall system. A combination of a restored shoreline and a back-up structure are used to slow erosion, prevent storm damage, and preserve the beach.<br />
<br />
Pacifica has an extremely challenging erosion issue. We encourage all LCP participants to get the facts from the scientific community; and to keep an open mind about managed retreat.

Greetings Surfriders,<br />
<br />
The last stage in the campaign to restore Sloat is about to begin. We are now firmly on the march to building the Ocean Beach Master Plan recommendation for the erosion site.<br />
<br />
This juncture is especially critical as the fine details of the shoreline management plan are about to be set. Key items that need to be resolved are:<br />
<br />
1. When will the road be redirected behind the SF Zoo? How will the traffic flow be managed in a way that does not create jams and back-ups, especially on nice weather weekends?<br />
<br />
2. Where will the new main Sloat parking be built? How many spaces will it provide, who will managed it - NPS or SF Rec. and Park?<br />
<br />
3. When and how will the buried seawall be constructed? What is the time-table for rock removal?<br />
<br />
4. What sand replenishment regime can we expect to see - what triggers a replenishment project, who funds this work, etc.?<br />
<br />
Surfrider is pressing to ensure that the community has input into these kinds of details as we enter the final planning process.<br />
<br />

It was unfortunate to be put into a position to choose between enhanced water quality and beach preservation. That being said, we did record our concerns; and look forward to ensuring a more rigorous review is performed regarding any future infrastructure upgrades at the site.</div>

Greetings Surfriders,</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thanks to your help, the Coastal Commission voted to postpone the Westside Pumpstation upgrade project until the May meeting. We will have more info on how you can help with this issue by mid-April. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A significant number of the Commissioners were sympathetic to our argument. Even those inclined to support the project - such as our own Aaron Peskin - recognized that the City should at least have an updated Local Coastal Plan approved before this new development goes thru. <span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">To view the video recorded hearing, see item 10A in the </span><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://cal-span.org/unipage/?site%3Dcal-span%26owner%3DCCC%26date%3D2018-03-08&source=gmail&ust=1522461059065000&usg=AFQjCNGqD34nB3xcZQrNRcqYdKjmbfjuJw" href="http://cal-span.org/unipage/?site=cal-span&owner=CCC&date=2018-03-08" style="color: #1155cc; font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">video replay</a><span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">.</span><br />
<div dir="auto" style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="auto" style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We believe the permit postponement is a good outcome as the added time provides a window for all to consider the implications of this project, both long-term and short.</span></div>
<div dir="auto" style="color: #222222;">
<br /></div>
Ultimately, if California's coastal towns are going to protect their beaches from eroding away, they need to weigh the benefits of relocating development away from the water. Seawalls and revetments typically harm beaches. Sand replenishment is not going to be a sustainable, long-term fix.<br />

Greetings Surfriders,<br />
<br />
We had a very informative chapter meeting last month. Thanks to all who attended. Ben Grant provided a nice summary of the Ocean Beach Master Plan while Bob Battalio brought us up to speed on the alternatives analysis study for the Lake Merced Tunnel (LMT).<br />
<br />
It looks like SFPUC is going to go thru with building the Ocean Beach Master Plan’s buried seawall for the Tunnel. Engineer Bob Battalio explained that the models support the ability to protect the LMT with the low profile seawall thru 2100. However, the amount of sand dune replenishment needed to maintain the beach looks to be significantly high, especially after 2050. The Alternatives Analysis report is not finalized for publication yet, but when it is we will post a copy so you can check over the details.<br />
<br />
While we are glad to see the City moving on a plan to clean up and restore the beach, we still contend that it is worth the investment to remove the LMT from the erosion hazard area now, and not sometime after 2050 when the cost will be much greater. <br />
<br />
As surfers we know all too well the character of the nearshore environment at Ocean Beach. If anything, it is wildly unpredictable, subject to extreme energy, and thoroughly unforgiving. Leaving the LMT so close to the surf zone is a risky choice. We can only hope the design works as well as the models say it will and preserves the beach. <br />
<br />

Dear Surfriders,<br />
<br />
In 2017 our Chapter activists and supporters put in a lot time attending meetings, signing petitions and providing comment letters in support of the Local Coastal Plan Amendment (LCP). The LCP essentially greenlights Sloat restoration and promotes future managed retreat planning for the rest of the Ocean Beach shoreline. We wish to commend everyone that helped with the campaign thus far.<br />
<br />
What's next on the roadmap to Restore Sloat?<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>2018 Near-Term Improvements. </li>
</ul>
<br />
New temporary parking arrangements for beach access south of Sloat are due to begin construction this year. A walking/jogging path will be included in the project.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Alternatives Analysis Report (AAR)</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
The AAR is for the long-term restoration / protection project that was outlined in the <a href="http://www.spur.org/ocean-beach" target="_blank">Ocean Beach Master Plan</a>. The AAR will include a relocation option weighed for the Lake Merced Tunnel. Surfrider has advocated that the City look into this option as it may bring the most long-term benefits in term of infrastructure security, beach restoration and cost effectiveness.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>The Conceptual Engineering Report (CER) Phase</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
Following on the heals of the AAR, a preferred project will be selected. The CER will be the initial engineering specs. for the long-term plan.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>2019 Environmental Review: </li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
By 2019, a period of Environmental Review / CEQA (CA Environmental Quality Act) determination will begin for the long-term project.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>2020 Coastal Commission Permitting</li>
</ul>
<br />
The final stop before construction of the long-term plan will include a Coastal Commission permit application which is due to be heard by 2020. If all goes well, we can see the a Sloat restoration project break ground in 2021.<br />
<br />
<br />
That's it. As always, thanks for checking in.<br />
<br />
Happy Holidays!<br />

<br />
<br />
In a major set-back for beach preservation in Pacifica, the Coastal Commission approved an "after the fact' permit for the seawall that protects the Sharp Park Golf Course.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On Wednesday November 8, Commissioners officially legalized the 2013 seawall enhancements despite years of missed deadlines and incomplete documentation by SF Rec. and Park. An article in the <a href="https://www.courthousenews.com/coastal-watchdog-gives-fact-ok-bay-area-seawall/" target="_blank">Courthouse News Report</a> covers the hearing well.<br />
<br />
Judging from the Commissioner's comments, the key reason the seawall and the recent armoring work was approved was the belief that, without the seawall, the local neighborhood would flood. Unfortunately, there is no study or other substantial evidence to support this claim found in the staff report or anywhere else that we can find. <br />
<br />
As we have commented before, the reason managed retreat uses the word "managed" is to allow for project adaptations such as flood protection for nearby neighborhoods - or habitat relocation work for endangered species. At Sloat, managed retreat means that we recognize that some form of structural protection will be needed to protect the Oceanside Treatment Plant and associated infrastructure. Contrary to the view of some of our detractors, we are not environmental extremists. <br />
<br />
For a look at what a quality managed retreat alternative could be, check out this <a href="http://publicfiles.surfrider.org/SF/Laguna_Salada_Report_2-9-11.pdf" target="_blank">peered reviewed study of Sharp Park</a>. <br />
<br /></div>
<div>
While we are disappointed with the Coastal Commissions ruling on this issue, there will be a time to revisit the Sharp Park Golf Course seawall permit in the future. Rest assured, Surfrider will continue to fight for this coastal treasure at every pass.</div>

I visit/surf/hike/fish our local Bay Area beaches, including the beaches of Pacifica. The Coastal Commission should deny this permit due to the extensive damage seawalls have already done to the town's shoreline. Climate change and sea level rise will only intensify erosion rates in the years ahead. If the Sharp Park Golf Course seawall is allowed to remain, the beach will eventually be driven under water. Instead of seeking permission to maintain a seawall, San Francisco should decommission the golf course and back a plan to restore beach and the lagoon wetland. Please reject this CDP.</div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The reason there is an erosion challenge at south Ocean Beach
was because the original shoreline was filled in by more than 200 feet in this
area. The erosion is due to the ocean's attempt to regain it natural
position...<o:p></o:p></span></div>

now coming back to haunt us. Along our
bay waterfront and now at Ocean Beach, the payment is coming due. The difference is that at Ocean Beach we have 30

Greetings Surfriders,<br />
<br />
In order to build a project that addresses beach erosion at Sloat, zoning laws for the Ocean Beach shoreline need to be updated. This is what the Local Coastal Plan (LCP) amendment process is about. The LCP is now up for final approval.<br />
<br />
As you may be aware of, Surfrider has been heavily engaged in the drafting of the LCP. The zoning rules for erosion management will have a major impact on the preservation of the beach south of Sloat as well as greater Ocean Beach.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
The Local Coastal Plan (LCP) hearing and vote is set for
October 5<sup>th</sup> at SF Planning Department.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please attend if you can; or send in a comment letter now. <b>Here is a basic message:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Climate change and sea level
rise will only exacerbate erosion rates at Ocean Beach. In order to preserve the shoreline south of Sloat and greater Ocean Beach, long-term planning based on managed
retreat should be the preferred strategy. Sand replenishment is a temporary solution to coastal erosion, not a permanent fix. </b></div>

By now you may have noticed a new structure built on top of the berm across from the north parking lot. We placed some calls and found out the buildings are a temporary science/learning center for children's programs at the San Francisco Zoo. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
During the Ocean Beach Master Plan process, both the San Francisco Zoo and San Francisco Recreation and Park had representation on the Steering Committee (Executive Level). These two agencies also were represented on the Planning Advisory Committee level (which comprised of community / non-profit representatives). At no time did we hear of the Zoo's intention to run their own science interpretive center on that area of the berm.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Ocean Beach Master Plan instead recommended the conversion of the Fleishhaker pool house into a free public warming hut / interpretive science center. We fully supported this concept. However, the pool house burned down not long after the release of the OMBP. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Surfrider still fully supports the Master Plan idea of a public warming hut / interpretive center in the area occupied by the pool house. The Zoo's private new structures conflict with this goal.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The good news is that there is time to fix this issue. The buildings appear to be pre-fab. and easily removed. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We urge SF Zoo, Rec. and Park, SPUR and all other entities involved in the Ocean Beach Master Plan to come together, have an open discussion and let the public weigh in on this issue. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Greetings Surfriders,</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">While we await a new date for the Local Coastal Program hearing at SF Planning, we would like to dedicate this month's post to the fate of the north parking lot at Sloat. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As you may know, the 2012 Ocean Beach Master Plan proposed the idea of relocating the north parking lot spaces onto the southbound Great Highway near Wawona. Surfrider opposed this idea since the point of the managed retreat plan was to relocate infrastructure away from the water. To their credit, the SPUR-led team cancelled this parking plan. </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The challenge is we still need a good parking alternative to replace the north lot. </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">To address this, Surfrider has recently signaled interest in the area of land to the south of the zoo's paid parking lot. This is an area of land accessible by Herbst/Armory Road, and sits on the landward side of the Great Highway south of Sloat. See picture above.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We believe this site could be ideal as a replacement for the north lot. Since the south of Sloat Great Highway will eventually be closed, vehicular access for the new parking lot can be done via Herbst - Armory Road. The new parking access could contain all the original parking spaces from the eroded north lot along with a bathroom, shower, water fountain, trash receptacle, and bicycle parking station. It would serve as the main beach access lot and connect beautifully to the Master Plan's coastal hiking/biking trail idea. Look for the chapter to advocate for this solution going forward.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Thanks for checking in!</span><br />
