This week, Half Moon Bay began a pilot project to mark parking lots on certain streets near Poplar Beach and Half Moon Bay State Beach.
Named the Beach Neighborhood Parking Pilot Project, it consists of freeing up specifically designated streets to define marked parking spaces or boxes. It aims to minimize impacts such as overcrowding and obstruction of access to beach neighborhoods during the peak travel and tourism season.
The large number of cars parked arbitrarily in the area is a negative factor that impedes access to emergency teams.
Designated streets include sections of Kelly Avenue, Miramontes Avenue, Correas Street, Filbert Street and Spruce Street, located between the Cabrillo Freeway and the beach access.
The streets designated for parking will be designated on a map. Reassigning the spaces will take about three weeks. No Parking" signs will be posted on the above streets 72 hours before work begins. Depending on its success, the project could expand to more areas. For more information, people can contact the Public Works Department at publicworks@hmbcity.com.
