Half Moon Bay Review/Julia Reis, 3/5/15. "County meeting focuses on Highway 1 alternatives."
| The Devil's Slide closure alternative was a tunnel. |
| Highway 1 Coastside, "no traffic", but build the medians and the widening alternatives anyway. |
Caltrans found that the current speed limits of 50 mph and 45 mph in the two highway segments tested should be retained since average speed nearly equaled or exceeded the speed limit when the survey was conducted. A rounded curb design for the raised medians would allow planners to keep current speed limits, Hinkamp said. Read article.

Speaking of Caltrans. Shouldn't the judge be just about ready to release the verdict on Highway 1?
Nah, the judge is also working on the missing 4 million. Going to be a while, Pancho. I hear she's going to demand a release of city and council emails going back 6 or 7 years. Is the internet forever? Bwahahahaha.
Past City Councils always used private emails, not city issued emails, to conduct business, thus they were not able to subpoena or ask for a request for said emails.
Only when a few citizens made a stink at city hall, and this new council came in, they gave them all city issued emails.
448, 805 similar non-transparency issue with Anonymous comments?
How are several years back city council emails going to trace the movement of city council special funds monies? On the other hand, a good place to start to track these fund transfers may be the financial institution where these funds are held, the actual records. You know, dollars in, dollars out-- who made the transfers, why, where, to pay what.

Why don't you go to city hall and put in a request for the last ten years city bank statements, and go through them?
The original comment was only slightly facetious. Let me be clear. Emails wouldn't contain city accounting records, but they could reveal any discussion or awareness of this issue among staff and council before that dramatic reveal last June. I believe playing fast and loose among the various city funds was a systemic problem of long and continuous standing. It's how a succession of councils ran the city. An entire city council's claim of ignorance is just as outrageous and preposterous as the fact they can't tell us how they spent 4 million bucks. I don't think anyone stole a dime, but I do think we have been lied to. And for purely political reasons. Honesty in government is a big deal. Grandma used to say a person who will lie, will steal, if given the opportunity. Let's just say it's a slippery slope.
All those consent calendars probably tell a pretty good story.
1159, a forensic audit will answer these questions. And based upon some comments from the City Manager at the last City Council meeting, I believe such an audit is moving forward.
But 1159, why do you want me, or "anyone but you", to request all those records from the City? Is that an anonymous disclosure that by nature and character YOU are just lazy and cheap? Okay, we all accept that. No harm, your comment is anonymous-- no one but YOU will know who you really are.
Then again, of our elected representatives, any City Councilmember could have, or could, request such an audit. Did that happen?

For someone who doesn't put much credit to "Annon" comments, they sure get you wound up!
