These are the same people that have had their collective hands around the economic throat of our beloved City for the past 30 years! I read the March 13th Tribune LTE again with 38 signatures under their anti-Hwy improvement diatribe. It is as infuriating to have a minority of people holding us hostage as it is to sit in more and more Hwy. 1 traffic on a daily basis.

The fact is folks that no matter whether HWY 1 is widened or not it is little more than a thoroughfare for people headed North or South. Other than the surfer's who are headed to Linda Mar, there are few reasons to stop along the way.<br /><br />Not to say there aren't decent places to visit, but visually from the highway, there's not much that catches the eye. A decent well-sited development at the quarry might bring a draw, but little else. I average motorist driving along Hwy 1 going to be enticed by the Manor Shopping Center or the Denny's at the Linda mar stoplight; probably not. Our local businesses are frequented mostly by local residents and as has been proven over and over, dose not bring enough revenue for many to keep their doors open. Heading North along Hwy 1 there are a few interesting businesses, Gorilla BBQ, Vallemar Station; Puerto 27 looks interesting, as does the Surf Spot. But after a day visiting Half Moon Bay, I think many motorists keep on going. Keep in mind this is just my opinion; not necessarily speaking for others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
