Develop and carry through on a plan for the Princeton waterfront that deals with erosion, illegal/haphazard riprap, and construction at the shoreline, all of which impact public access and enjoyment of this coastal resource.

Improve public transportation on the Coast: more frequent buses, free or cheaper transfers, better weekend service, service continuing later at night.

Environmental damage from plastic waste is a serious reality on California’s coast. Here’s an excellent article from Salon.com on waste in Oakland’s Lake Merritt.
Build parallel trails for pedestrians and bicycles along major transportation corridors.
One example is Highway One on the coastside. Often clogged by traffic on weekends and sunny days, Highway One is no longer an efficient route for local residents and visitors to travel between communities along the coast. A parallel trail, separated from the roadway by a landscaped median, would allow pedestrians and cyclists to move easily up and down the shoreline while relieving automobile congestion. A trail would also provide a safe route for students to once again walk or ride their bikes to school, further reducing the gridlock caused by parents dropping off and picking up their kids during peak commute hours.
