We want to hear from you! What improvements would you like to see on Highway 1?

The City of Half Moon Bay is conducting the Highway 1 Access and Mobility Study that explores ways to make Highway 1 safer, reduce traffic delays, and make it easier to walk, bike, take transit, and drive through the corridor. Take our survey at https://bit.ly/4fvlBxo

Whether you live, work, visit, bike, walk, ride transit, or drive through Half Moon Bay, your feedback will help guide future improvements along Highway 1.

September is Su***de Prevention Month.

Many people carry visible and invisible burdens and the pressure to appear strong. This year, San Mateo County is recognizing The Weight We Carry—and that you do not need to carry the weight alone.

For men and boys especially, expectations to stay silent or “push through” can make it harder to seek support.

Throughout September, you can support the weight for yourself and others by:
• Attending a local event
• Learning how to start a supportive conversation
• Sharing resources with someone you care about
• Reminding others: You do not have to carry this alone.

If you, or someone you know, is experiencing a mental health crisis or thinking about su***de: Call 650-579-0350 (San Mateo County Crisis Line)
Call/Text 988 (Su***de & Crisis Lifeline)

The City is updating its Implementation Plan (IP), part of the City’s Municipal Code that puts the City’s Land Use Plan (LUP) policies into practice. The IP has not been comprehensively updated since 1996.

Even if you’re not familiar with the Implementation Plan or Municipal Code, we want to hear about your experience and what could work better. The survey takes just 3–5 minutes to complete. Take the survey at tinyurl.com/plan4hmb

This update will make the City’s rules clearer, more consistent, and easier to use. It will implement the City’s 2020 Land Use Plan, align with recent State laws, and update development standards and permitting processes.

This is not an update to the General Plan or Land Use Plan. The community’s vision is already in place; this project focuses on updating the rules and processes that help put that vision into practice.

We’re updating the City’s Implementation Plan (IP), the rules and processes that help put Half Moon Bay’s community vision into practice. We want to hear from the community, so we are bringing the conversation to you with an Implementation Plan Roadshow.

What does that mean? City staff will be out in the community at different locations across Half Moon Bay to answer questions, hear your experiences, and get your feedback. What’s working? What’s confusing? What would make things easier?

Your experiences and feedback will help us make the Implementation Plan work better for you and our community.
Here are dates and locations:
-September 3, 5:30–7:00 p.m.: Corner of Wave Ave and Pilarcitos Ave, near Coastal Trail
-September 9, 5:30–7:00 p.m.: End of Grandview Blvd.
-September 10, 5:30–7:00 p.m.: Frenchmans Creek Park

Stop by, ask questions, and share your experience with City staff.
