Protecting Farms and Nature in Half Moon Bay

Protecting Farms and Nature in Half Moon Bay

Artichokes in Box 1Advocate Lennie Roberts is currently entrenched in the City of Half Moon Bay’s Local Coastal Program and general plan update process. She is speaking up to ensure the plans protect the city’s endangered species, fertile farms, coastal bluffs and beaches. Recently, thanks to Lennie’s efforts and the outpouring of public comment, the city council directed the consultants of the plan to refocus the effort on four main areas. These are: 1) enhance the historic downtown area, 2) develop an open space/conservation element, 3) address traffic congestion, and 4) develop strategies for sea level rise in accordance with the guiding principles of the general plan.

Though this process is far from complete, we’re glad to see city councilmembers are listening to the community. Only time will tell if the city’s farms and natural areas will be protected in the long-run. We’ll keep you posted on what you can do to get involved.
