| Fishing for Bass at South Sloat, Summer 2014 |
Greetings Surfriders and Friends,
Since our last post, it appears that the SPUR team has decided to shelve the idea of putting the north parking access on the Great Highway near Vicente. This is great news. Hopefully, the idea of narrowing the Great Highway between Lincoln and Sloat will also be removed from the current list of proposals. Surfrider has always maintained that - in this initial Master Plan - only the south of Sloat portion of the Great Highway should be narrowed down into two lanes and realigned eastward.
The Master Plan contains numerous proposals for change at Ocean Beach. Many of them are great such as: a new restroom/shower for the Kelly's Cove area, a coastal trail connecting to Ft. Funston, and native plant restoration in the dunes. That being said, Surfrider does urge SPUR to keep the bulk of its focus on solving the erosion challenge south of Sloat. This important stretch of Ocean Beach has been severely neglected over the last 20 years. It will take significant time and resources to reverse all the damage. The OBMP provides us with a vehicle to accomplish the task. Thanks for checking in.
Stay tuned for more news in the coming months!
