I wonder if the Coastal Commission and citizens so concerned about global warming have considered the fact that cars sitting in traffic equals more pollution, more carbon, more fossil fuels burned and more damage to habitat, ecosystems and endangered species. It is also a proven fact that children living along congested freeways have a much higher incidence of asthma.
Thanks for a view of the 10/21/11 Coastal Commission letter to Yolanda Rivas, Todd. This really is an important document, and presents several core concerns in widening the 1.3 mile stretch of highway 1. The final EIR/EA evaluation, which includes these considerations, is underway now. And it seems the solutions to move forward really cannot be NOT to move forward, so resolve will occur.
As for those frogs getting "squished" while attempting to cross the highway (an expressed coastal commission concern), I'm personally just as concerned about a few deer, raccoons, skunks and people that may attempt it.
Is Todd the designated eco-radical now? Let me get this clear, CCC is worried about some frogs getting crushed, but in Montara, worrying about HUMAN safety is biased?
Did anyone think that frogs are stupid no matter if threatened or not! There's some humans that think like frogs.

I read it Todd. See comment above.
Todd come on now. Don't rain on the parade. These feel-good moments are so rare in Pacifica. Have a heart!
Ha, rain on the parade. I wish. More like a twisted petrified trail of debris than a parade. We'll see what we see I suppose.
