Council Backs Strongest Dark-Sky Lighting Standard as Moss Beach Highway 1 Overhaul Takes Shape
The Midcoast Community Council swore in two new members, then dove into the policy debates that define life on San Mateo County's unincorporated coast: how bright the lights should be, how dangerous Highway 1 intersections should be fixed, and whether cell towers will keep working when the power goes out. The March 25 meeting produced one formal policy action — a unanimous letter demanding the Board of Supervisors reject a weakened exterior lighting standard — and set the stage for a pivotal spring of infrastructure decisions.
