Discuss Local Issues with Jason Burnett

When is some action going to be taken to make Scenic Drive one-way? On holiday weekends the cars back-up waiting to get around the sharp curve. Residents out for a walk often end up directing traffic to prevent head-on collisions. Why is this such a "big deal" when it is a safety issue that effects quality of life (enjoying a walk along the ocean) for both residents and visitors?

for several years the city council and the planning board have asked the same old group of people on their input on several important issues.while we appreciate their efforts,its time that we expand the circle and get some new blood and stay in tune with the times. its almost true of you being elected as an outsider and doing a great job---thks

I support your propostion that the three parties (and the undelying politcal influences) driving this complex project have the potential to become mis-directed because none has 'purely' the penisula's water ratepayers interest as a prime and enduring focus. Further, I recommend that both for plan A, and for a possible Plan B, that the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District be charged with the oversight and responsiblity to insure that all decisons are made to support the common intersts of the peninsula ratepayers.

Please tell me how much is being budgeted annually for street repair and maintenance. There are many problem areas that need more than the application of black tar. Your attention is directed to Click and Clack, the Monterey Herald auto mechanic columnists, reporting on the harm done to vehicles due to bad streets.
