HALF MOON BAY BREWING COMPANY PRESENTS
BREWS AND VIEWS ON FEBRUARY 2
“The Power of Deliberative Polling”
Free public forum welcomes key organizers of the What’s Next California project, James Fishkin and Zabrae Valentine, with moderator Lenny Mendonca, Director of McKinsey and Company
What:
What’s Next California? — the first state-wide deliberative poll in California — was conducted in 2011 in an effort inform citizens about key public issues using television and public opinion polls in a new and constructive way. This poll covered four basic areas: the initiative process, the Legislature, state/local relations and tax/fiscal issues. Thirty proposals were deliberated by a statewide scientific sample of 412 participants and their conclusions offered many surprises. A panel including key organizers of the project — James Fishkin of the Center for Deliberative Democracy at Stanford University and Zabrae Valentine of California Forward with moderator Lenny Mendonca Director, McKinsey & Company — will discuss the project process and findings.
Deliberative Polling®, developed by Dr. Fishkin, is a practice of public consultation that employs random samples of the citizenry to explore how opinions would change if they were more informed.
When:
Thursday, February 2, 2012
6 to 8 p.m.
Where:
Maverick’s Event Center
107 Broadway Ave.
Half Moon Bay, CA 94019
Cost: Admission and snacks are complimentary. Beer, wine, and other beverages will be available for sale at the event. Ten percent of the proceeds from all dinner sales at Half Moon Bay Brewing Company for this event will be donated to the Cabrillo Education Foundation.

I live near the Blufftop trail that was acquited by POST overlooking the MArine Reserve south of Seal Cove. Many neighbors and pedestrians have objected to the Paved Path installed there, so I assume there will be more objections to the paved surface planned by SM County PArks Dept. for the Marine Reserve trail, so rather than complain afterwards, go voice your concerns on Saturday at the meeting. NOW is your chance to make your voice heard!

I don’t understand the paving plan at all. Mirada Surf was often impassible in wet weather. That’s not the case here.
However, a bridge over the creek seems like a good idea.

We already have a much used and much loved coastal trail that would do very well as the California Coastal Trail (CCT) through that part of Fitzgerald. With a bit of sprucing up in a couple of short stretches, which is all that the bluff-edge trail in Mirada Surf needed, it could easily be wheelchair accessible. There is no need for a paved bike path in Fitzgerald. Any money for that should go to the bikepath we need parallel to HWY 1.
As at Mirada Surf West, wrong route, wrong size, wrong surface (the trail on the POST property is a dream compared to this), reduced access to what the CCT is supposed to service, and a gross waste of taxpayer money. Yet another San Mateo County project to bludgeon the coastside into what it would prefer.

County Parks has said that a 10’ wide paved trail meets ADA requirements. It is my understanding that a 10’ wide paved trail exceeds ADA state regulations.
“DG” base rock or other pervious surface are ADA accessible. The Coastal Conservancy is currently building a 3 mile segment of California Coastal Trail using a crushed base rock surface, 8 feet wide.
The Coastal Conservancy and POST did an awesome job on the Coastal Trail at Pillar Point Bluff.
I encourage the County to keep environmental appropriateness and flexibility in mind when planning trails. Trail users do not benefit from a bureaucratic approach to trail planning.
