Project Summary
Nicknamed "Connect the Coastside", this planning effort was a directive from the San Mateo County Local Coastal Program (LCP), which was previously updated as part of an amendment to the countywide General Plan. The purpose of Connect the Coastside was to formulate policies and programs to address current and future regional mobility in relation to forecasted development growth in the unincorporated coastal area between the cities of Pacifica (to the north) and Half Moon Bay (to the south). As part of the scope of work, the project team was tasked with significant public outreach to gather community feedback for regional mobility and growth management solutions, as well as coordinate multi-agency jurisdictional oversight in order to arrive at compatible policy and programmatic outcomes.

As the lead transportation planner for the County, I led this planning effort by serving as primary point of contact and project manager. To help develop this plan the County also retained primary consultant, DKS Associates, a renowned transportation planning, design, and engineering firm.
