Dear Mr. Kern:
Thank you for your same-day response to HMB City Manager Deborah Auker concerning Foothill/wetlands issues.

The Devil’s Slide road closure has underlined what every Coastsider (and many visitors) learned long ago: the Highway 92/Main Stree/Highway 1 Bottleneck is an inadequate roadway nexus, funneling commuter, school, commercial and visitor traffic into the same congestion.

Is it in the Coastside’s best long-term interests for drivers to have a way around the highway 92 Bottleneck?
Q2. Is the Foothill Boulevard/Bayview Drive route a viable alternative to forcing all traffic through the Bottleneck?
Q3. If not Foothill/Bayview, are there other routes that could bypass the Bottleneck?
