She holds a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Her radio romance began after a bitter breakup with documentary film (Ok, maybe it's still complicated). Her first simultaneous jobs in San Francisco were as Associate Producer on a PBS film series through the Center for Asian American Media and as a butler. She likes to trot, plot and make things with her hands.",

Tsunami advisories were issued for Hawaii, Alaska and the U.S. Pacific coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beaches in San Francisco and Marin County, the Berkeley Marina and waterfronts across the Bay Area were closed for public access Saturday in anticipation of higher tides. Damage caused by flooding was visible in the region across social media, from damaged docks in Marin County to submerged vehicles in Santa Cruz Harbor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CalFire reported that two fishermen were hospitalized after being swept in by the high tides at San Gregorio State Beach in San Mateo County. One was transported by helicopter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brian Garcia at the National Weather Service Bay Area \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1mrxmalRrjQxy\">said in a 12:30 p.m. update\u003c/a> that the ongoing tsunami advisory was needed as surges continue to hit the Bay Area, but that relief was on the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The overall water height is coming down as we head towards low tide,” he said, but in that low tide “we continue to have the tsunami roll through.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CALFIRECZU/status/1482455516701884416\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the water height may not be as high as the Bay Area experienced earlier in the day, the ripples of tsunami height may cause unexpected wave amplitude.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even as the tide lowers, it can still run up the beach, grab you, your pets, your family, your loved ones, and take you out to sea as it recedes,” Garcia said. “So, it’s still a dangerous situation out there. Best course of action: Continue to remain away from the water, continue to remain up high. Don’t even go to the coast. Today’s just not the day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, Mary Ellen Carroll, executive director of the Department of Emergency Management, said she didn’t fear residential flooding but “we really want to keep people away from the water.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s especially crucial as the city’s public safety systems are “very, very strained at the moment” by the pandemic, she said, “so we are asking everyone to please keep themselves safe. Of course, we will respond as needed, but everyone is really stretched thin right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/TedrickG/status/1482358329967923203\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The explosion of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano was the latest in a series of dramatic eruptions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earth-imaging company Planet Labs PBC had watched the island in recent days after a new volcanic vent there began erupting in late December.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Satellite images captured by the company show how drastically the volcano had shaped the area, creating a growing island off Tonga.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The surface area of the island appears to have expanded by nearly 45% due to ashfall,” Planet Labs said days before the latest activity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following Saturday’s eruption, residents in Hawaii, in Alaska and along the U.S. Pacific coast were advised to move away from the coastline to higher ground and to pay attention to specific instructions from their local emergency management officials, said Dave Snider, tsunami warning coordinator for the National Tsunami Warning Center in Palmer, Alaska.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t issue an advisory for this length of coastline as we’ve done — I’m not sure when the last time was — but it really isn’t an everyday experience,” Snider said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the waves slamming ashore in Hawaii were just under the criteria for a more serious tsunami warning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beaches and piers were closed across Southern California as a precaution. The National Weather Service tweeted there were “no significant concerns about inundation.” Strong rip currents were possible, however, and officials warned people to stay out of the water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/MarinSheriff/status/1482420800737013762\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On California’s central coast, the National Weather Service reported tsunami waves of up to 2.5 feet and flooding in beach parking lots at Port San Luis. About 200 miles down the coast, the waves were much smaller at Southern California’s Seal Beach, according to Michael Pless, the owner of M&M Surfing School.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The waves are looking pretty flat,” Pless said. “We’re hoping they reopen the beach in a couple hours.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crowds gathered at the Santa Cruz Harbor to watch the rising and falling water strain boat ties on docks. Law enforcement tried to clear people away when big surges started at around 7:30 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About an hour later, a surge went over the back lip of the harbor, filling a parking lot and low-lying streets and setting some cars afloat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jason Hoppin, communications manager of Santa Cruz County, said officials have been inspecting for damage. Hoppin said that in previous years with tsunami advisories, millions of dollars in damage hit Santa Cruz’s harbor. In 2011, waves from Japan’s Sendai earthquake caused more than $20 million in damage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re asking people to stay out of the water, even surfing, which is a little bit difficult for some of our residents. But it’s the best and safest thing to do right now,” Hoppin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Berkeley, residents aboard houseboats at the Berkeley Marina were ordered to evacuate on Saturday morning. Residents told KQED they were given more warning this weekend than during the last tsunami advisory in 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It looks like everybody has stepped up their tsunami preparedness,” Berkeley Marina resident Brian Cline said. “The police were down here making it very clear that everybody needs to get off their boats and head to shore.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cline grabbed hard drives, a camera, extra clothes and cash, and he booked it. Another Berkeley Marina resident, Kat Schaaf, said she got the evacuation order at about 7 a.m., which was starkly different from when the 2011 tsunami waves caused by the Sendai earthquake in Japan rocked the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When Sendai happened, nobody warned us,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tonga, home to about 105,000 people, video posted to social media showed large waves washing ashore in coastal areas, swirling around homes, a church and other buildings. Satellite images showed a huge eruption, with a plume of ash, steam and gas rising like a mushroom above the blue Pacific waters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New Zealand’s military said it was monitoring the situation and remained on standby, ready to assist if asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were no immediate reports of injuries or on the extent of the damage because all internet connectivity with Tonga was lost at about 6:40 p.m. local time, said Doug Madory, director of internet analysis for the network intelligence firm Kentik.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tonga gets its internet via an undersea cable from Suva, Fiji, which presumably was damaged. Southern Cross Cable Network, the company that manages the connection, does not know yet “if the cable is cut or just suffering power loss,” Chief Technical Officer Dean Veverka said. He said he assumed the eruption was responsible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CALFIRECZU/status/1482372078581940230\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tonga’s Islands Business news site reported that a convoy of police and military troops evacuated King Tupou VI from his palace near the shore. He was among the many residents who headed for higher ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Tonga Meteorological Service said a tsunami warning was declared for all of the archipelagoes, and data from the Pacific tsunami center said waves of 2.7 feet were detected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Twitter user identified as Dr. Faka’iloatonga Taumoefolau posted video showing waves crashing ashore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Can literally hear the volcano eruption, sounds pretty violent,” he wrote, adding in a later post: “Raining ash and tiny pebbles, darkness blanketing the sky.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/NWSBayArea/status/1482373568474222600\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It looks like everything will stay below the warning level, but it’s difficult to predict because this is a volcanic eruption, and we’re set up to measure earthquake or seismic-driven sea waves,” said Snider, the tsunami warning coordinator in Palmer, Alaska.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first waves to hit the continental United States measured about 1 foot in Nikolski and Adak, Alaska. A wave just shy of a foot tall was observed in Monterey, California, the U.S. National Tsunami Warning Center said in a tweet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Residents of American Samoa were alerted of a tsunami warning by local broadcasters as well as church bells that rang territory-wide Saturday. An outdoor siren warning system was out of service. Those living along the shoreline quickly moved to higher ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As night fell, there were no reports of any damage, and the Hawaii-based tsunami center canceled the alert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authorities in the nearby island nations of Fiji and Samoa also issued warnings, telling people to avoid the shoreline due to strong currents and dangerous waves. In New Zealand, officials warned of possible storm surges from the eruption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New Zealand’s private forecaster, WeatherWatch, tweeted that people as far away as Southland, the country’s southernmost region, reported hearing sonic booms from the eruption. Others reported that many boats were damaged by a tsunami that hit a marina in Whangarei, in the Northland region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier, the Matangi Tonga news site reported that scientists observed massive explosions, thunder and lightning near the volcano after it started erupting early Friday. Satellite images showed a 3-mile-wide plume rising into the air to about 12 miles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano is located about 40 miles north of the capital, Nuku’alofa.

You can be getting your face ground into the sand, which doesn’t happen at the monastery! You might get whacked by the Zen master but it’s different.

And so that was sort of my introduction, both to surfing and to sort of a real loneliness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Surfing was my bridge between the temple and the world, because there was this meditative aspect but you’re also getting beat up by the waves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Surfing is hard and it’s dynamic. You can be getting your face ground into the sand, which doesn’t happen at the monastery! You might get whacked by the Zen master but it’s different. If I can use surfing as a sort of transition between this meditative place and the world, I’ll be in good shape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>People may be surprised to know that Yogis is your real name even though it sounds so appropriately spiritual. What’s the origin of your name?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s Lithuanian. Lithuanian is strangely the closest European language to Sanskrit.

He said that although he couldn’t yet provide data to quantify the crime problem, the GGNRA is working on compiling that information to support the agency’s claims. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, GGNRA law enforcement records obtained by the Ocean Beach Bulletin show that in 2011, officers responded to at least 40 complaints about bonfires on Ocean Beach or nearby GGNRA lands. That figure represents only direct complaints about fires and does not include bonfires that may have been burned in violation of fire rules but about which no one complained, and it doesn’t include crimes that may have occurred near the fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given the number of people who visit the beach for bonfires on some nights, some crime and litter may be inevitable. On Friday, June 21 a reporter counted 31 bonfires on Ocean Beach between the Cliff House and Fulton Street, at least a few of them fueled by piles of wooden pallets.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">“I think there’s a very important and basic part of California culture here.”\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>That’s many more fires than the half-dozen pits currently provided for them, and almost twice as many as would be allowed if the 16 pits Saddler says are supposed to be there were installed. At 9:30 p.m., just half an hour before the 10 p.m. closing time for the City-owned parking lot closest to the area where fires are allowed, west of Golden Gate Park, groups of people were still arriving on the beach with armloads of wood to start new fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not every night is like that: The previous night, at the same time, just one fire burned in the same part of the beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And just because some people choose to ignore the rules about beach fires doesn’t mean that everyone should be punished by shutting them down altogether, Saddler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are people who do bad things. We live in an urban environment,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fact that fires are allowed on Ocean Beach at all is due largely to an agreement among the GGNRA, San Francisco’s Surfrider chapter and the group Burners Without Borders. That agreement, hammered out under the GGNRA’s previous superintendent, replaced an earlier potential ban on fires with an experimental arrangement that restricted fires to their current zone near the park, brought in artistic fire pits created by Burners Without Borders and asked Surfrider to organize frequent cleanups of that part of the beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Burners and Surfrider did put in substantial effort in good faith, Levitt said, things just aren’t working out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Saddler and Levitt said they would seek to provide the Ocean Beach Bulletin with a copy of that document, but at the time of this article’s publication neither had done so. Neither responded to subsequent emails requesting a copy of the agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levitt said that whatever changes the GGNRA eventually proposes, things will remain as they are through at least the summer. And after that, any proposal would go through an official process including an opportunity for public input.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Surfrider Foundation San Francisco chapter isn’t waiting for that process, though. The group already is collecting information about the beach fires and possible changes through \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1C4otzoImLiM9bq0Kh5_oCwWO7PcBr6bXOG1dClRhEc0/viewform\" target=\"_blank\">an online survey\u003c/a> to inform its positions on the future of bonfires on Ocean Beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For more information about Ocean Beach bonfire regulations, visit the \u003ca href=\"http://www.nps.gov/goga/parkmgmt/fire_beachfireregs.htm\" target=\"_blank\">GGNRA website\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n",

That figure represents only direct complaints about fires and does not include bonfires that may have been burned in violation of fire rules but about which no one complained, and it doesn’t include crimes that may have occurred near the fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given the number of people who visit the beach for bonfires on some nights, some crime and litter may be inevitable. On Friday, June 21 a reporter counted 31 bonfires on Ocean Beach between the Cliff House and Fulton Street, at least a few of them fueled by piles of wooden pallets.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">“I think there’s a very important and basic part of California culture here.”\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>That’s many more fires than the half-dozen pits currently provided for them, and almost twice as many as would be allowed if the 16 pits Saddler says are supposed to be there were installed. At 9:30 p.m., just half an hour before the 10 p.m. closing time for the City-owned parking lot closest to the area where fires are allowed, west of Golden Gate Park, groups of people were still arriving on the beach with armloads of wood to start new fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not every night is like that: The previous night, at the same time, just one fire burned in the same part of the beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And just because some people choose to ignore the rules about beach fires doesn’t mean that everyone should be punished by shutting them down altogether, Saddler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are people who do bad things. We live in an urban environment,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fact that fires are allowed on Ocean Beach at all is due largely to an agreement among the GGNRA, San Francisco’s Surfrider chapter and the group Burners Without Borders. That agreement, hammered out under the GGNRA’s previous superintendent, replaced an earlier potential ban on fires with an experimental arrangement that restricted fires to their current zone near the park, brought in artistic fire pits created by Burners Without Borders and asked Surfrider to organize frequent cleanups of that part of the beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Burners and Surfrider did put in substantial effort in good faith, Levitt said, things just aren’t working out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Saddler and Levitt said they would seek to provide the Ocean Beach Bulletin with a copy of that document, but at the time of this article’s publication neither had done so. Neither responded to subsequent emails requesting a copy of the agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levitt said that whatever changes the GGNRA eventually proposes, things will remain as they are through at least the summer. And after that, any proposal would go through an official process including an opportunity for public input.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Surfrider Foundation San Francisco chapter isn’t waiting for that process, though. The group already is collecting information about the beach fires and possible changes through \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1C4otzoImLiM9bq0Kh5_oCwWO7PcBr6bXOG1dClRhEc0/viewform\" target=\"_blank\">an online survey\u003c/a> to inform its positions on the future of bonfires on Ocean Beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For more information about Ocean Beach bonfire regulations, visit the \u003ca href=\"http://www.nps.gov/goga/parkmgmt/fire_beachfireregs.htm\" target=\"_blank\">GGNRA website\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

(Photo: Andrew Whalley)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Have you heard about the \u003ca href=\"http://www.spur.org/ocean-beach\">Ocean Beach Master Plan\u003c/a>? The San Francisco Planning + Urban Research Association (SPUR) is facilitating a coordinated effort among multiple agencies to create a \"sustainable long-range plan\" for San Francisco's shoreline. Why do we need a plan? Because erosion of the beach and anticipated rising sea levels may necessitate major changes in the infrastructure that serves the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In September, economist Philip King of San Francisco State University \u003ca title=\"CW - blog post\" href=\"../../climatewatch/2011/09/13/the-price-of-rising-seas/\">unveiled a study\u003c/a> aimed at putting estimated price tags on potential economic losses from sea level rise, a study in which San Francisco’s Ocean Beach emerged as a major potential loser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, KQED's Molly Samuel talked about the Master Plan with Tom Prete, the editor and publisher-in-chief of KQED News associate \u003ca href=\"http://oceanbeachbulletin.com/\">The Ocean Beach Bulletin\u003c/a>. (Note: Mr. Prete did some work for SPUR previously.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edited transcript:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What led up to this plan?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In large part this is a project that goes back many years through multiple permutations of task forces and projects under several different mayors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There have been people who are concerned that no single agency is responsible for Ocean Beach. The belief is that too many agencies are responsible for too many things and they don't always talk to each other or pull in the same direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So a lot of people who care about Ocean Beach have been trying to get everyone on the same page and create a way forward, something everyone can live with even if they don't get everything they want.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Explain what agencies are involved with Ocean Beach. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The beach itself is part of \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/11/07/ocean-beach-master-plan-envisions-big-changes-for-great-highway/\">Golden Gate National Recreation Area\u003c/a> (GGNRA), from the O'Shaughnessy Seawall in the north, opposite the beach chalet that you walk up to to get to the Cliff House. Everything to the west, the sand side, is GGNRA, down to the wet sand of the beach. On the other side of that seawall is the parking, which is city property. So the city manages and is responsible for the parking lot, but if you go down those steps, you're on federal property. Those are the two main agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CPUC has a great deal of infrastructure that is at or near the beach. There's a major sewage transport tunnel that lies under the Great Highway, which feeds the oceanside water pollution control plant at the south end of Ocean Beach. That's city property that is operated by the SF Public Utilities Commission, but the responsibility for maintaining infrastructure like the road and the oceanside water pollution control plant is all done by the SF Dept of Public Works.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition there are responsibilities that overlap. The state Dept of Fish and Game, for instance, enforces fishing regulations. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are some concerns being addressed in the Master Plan?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the big challenges Ocean Beach is facing is what will happen if sea levels rise, as it appears they're going to do. We're seeing some erosion, especially on the south end of Ocean Beach, that could be attributable simply to singular storms. Those have caused some major problems, including the closure for several months of the southern extension of the Great Highway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in addition to those singular events, there is the likelihood that the sea level is going to rise, and when we get large storm surges, they're going to have a greater impact than they have now. So the question is what is the impact going to be on the beach? Are we going to have a nice sandy beach, or in order to protect some of these things like the Great Highway and the sewer transport tunnel and the water pollution control plant, are we going to have to install large seawalls or something like that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Does the plan put forward some suggestions on this? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It does. One of the important ideas presented under the draft recommendation for the Ocean Beach master plan would be to reroute that southern extension of the Great Highway that was closed, around the backside of the zoo so that it no longer passes to the west of the water pollution plant, but instead goes around the other side and connects with Sloat Boulevard. So southbound traffic on the Great Highway would no longer go past Sloat and around the water plant to Skyway Blvd around Lake Merced, but instead would turn east on Sloat and meet up with Lake Merced Boulevard to west of the zoo. (\u003cem>Interview continues after the graphic\u003c/em>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://oceanbeachbulletin.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/OBMP_keymoves_20111029.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-46157\" title=\"oceanbeachchangesSM\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/11/oceanbeachchangesSM.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"451\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>These are big infrastructure suggestions. How do people feel in the neighborhoods around there feel about them? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's a really good question. I think in spite of the fact that potentially there will be some major changes, a lot of people aren't paying a lot of attention to the plan, or if they are it's not coming through in terms of the voicing of opinions. That in part is due to the scope and scale of the Ocean Beach Master Plan. It's so large, it encompasses the beach from north to south and it plans for several decades, so it's hard for people to get their minds around .\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I have heard from some readers who are concerned about the Great Highway in particular. I got email from a reader who wondered that if there's ever a need for emergency transportation out of SF, where are the residents of Richmond and Sunset going to go? How do they get out of the city if they're not going north over the Golden Gate Bridge or east across the city? If they need to go south, how do they get there? The surface roads we have there are not designed to handle a great pulse of traffic like that. The Great Highway is in this reader's opinion a necessary artery out of the city for those residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But one of the questions is: can we maintain the Great Highway there no matter what we do? Is the ocean going to make a decision for us if we don't make one through the master plan now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>It seems like the sand dunes already make a decision about that with great regularity...\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Exactly. The Great Highway is closed frequently for the removal of sand. One thing I often hear out here is people questioning the wisdom of creating a highway out here in the first place. At the time it was built, this part of the city was largely sand dunes still. I find a lot of people in particular are perplexed that anyone would think to build a four-lane road on top of sand dunes. They are not surprised when the road is overtopped by blowing sand or it's closed when too much sand is on the road. They kind of shake their head and wonder why the road is there in the first place…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SPUR's plan kind of acknowledges that and moves the traffic from the Great Highway southbound lanes and puts two lanes, bidirectional traffic, on the east side of those, where we have northbound lanes now. it acknowledges we have a lot of blowing sand, and that we need to blunt the impact of major storm events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So what is SPUR's function? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SPUR is a convener and a coordinator for the master plan. The reason they're there, according to SPUR, is that they have a lot of contacts in the agencies. They know the players already, work with city agencies, and they are a non-partisan organization.

The belief is that too many agencies are responsible for too many things and they don't always talk to each other or pull in the same direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So a lot of people who care about Ocean Beach have been trying to get everyone on the same page and create a way forward, something everyone can live with even if they don't get everything they want.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Explain what agencies are involved with Ocean Beach. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The beach itself is part of \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/11/07/ocean-beach-master-plan-envisions-big-changes-for-great-highway/\">Golden Gate National Recreation Area\u003c/a> (GGNRA), from the O'Shaughnessy Seawall in the north, opposite the beach chalet that you walk up to to get to the Cliff House. Everything to the west, the sand side, is GGNRA, down to the wet sand of the beach. On the other side of that seawall is the parking, which is city property. So the city manages and is responsible for the parking lot, but if you go down those steps, you're on federal property. Those are the two main agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CPUC has a great deal of infrastructure that is at or near the beach. There's a major sewage transport tunnel that lies under the Great Highway, which feeds the oceanside water pollution control plant at the south end of Ocean Beach. That's city property that is operated by the SF Public Utilities Commission, but the responsibility for maintaining infrastructure like the road and the oceanside water pollution control plant is all done by the SF Dept of Public Works.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition there are responsibilities that overlap. The state Dept of Fish and Game, for instance, enforces fishing regulations. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are some concerns being addressed in the Master Plan?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the big challenges Ocean Beach is facing is what will happen if sea levels rise, as it appears they're going to do. We're seeing some erosion, especially on the south end of Ocean Beach, that could be attributable simply to singular storms. Those have caused some major problems, including the closure for several months of the southern extension of the Great Highway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in addition to those singular events, there is the likelihood that the sea level is going to rise, and when we get large storm surges, they're going to have a greater impact than they have now. So the question is what is the impact going to be on the beach? Are we going to have a nice sandy beach, or in order to protect some of these things like the Great Highway and the sewer transport tunnel and the water pollution control plant, are we going to have to install large seawalls or something like that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Does the plan put forward some suggestions on this? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It does. One of the important ideas presented under the draft recommendation for the Ocean Beach master plan would be to reroute that southern extension of the Great Highway that was closed, around the backside of the zoo so that it no longer passes to the west of the water pollution plant, but instead goes around the other side and connects with Sloat Boulevard. So southbound traffic on the Great Highway would no longer go past Sloat and around the water plant to Skyway Blvd around Lake Merced, but instead would turn east on Sloat and meet up with Lake Merced Boulevard to west of the zoo. (\u003cem>Interview continues after the graphic\u003c/em>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://oceanbeachbulletin.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/OBMP_keymoves_20111029.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-46157\" title=\"oceanbeachchangesSM\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/11/oceanbeachchangesSM.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"451\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>These are big infrastructure suggestions. How do people feel in the neighborhoods around there feel about them? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's a really good question. I think in spite of the fact that potentially there will be some major changes, a lot of people aren't paying a lot of attention to the plan, or if they are it's not coming through in terms of the voicing of opinions. That in part is due to the scope and scale of the Ocean Beach Master Plan. It's so large, it encompasses the beach from north to south and it plans for several decades, so it's hard for people to get their minds around .\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I have heard from some readers who are concerned about the Great Highway in particular. I got email from a reader who wondered that if there's ever a need for emergency transportation out of SF, where are the residents of Richmond and Sunset going to go? How do they get out of the city if they're not going north over the Golden Gate Bridge or east across the city? If they need to go south, how do they get there? The surface roads we have there are not designed to handle a great pulse of traffic like that. The Great Highway is in this reader's opinion a necessary artery out of the city for those residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But one of the questions is: can we maintain the Great Highway there no matter what we do? Is the ocean going to make a decision for us if we don't make one through the master plan now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>It seems like the sand dunes already make a decision about that with great regularity...\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Exactly. The Great Highway is closed frequently for the removal of sand. One thing I often hear out here is people questioning the wisdom of creating a highway out here in the first place. At the time it was built, this part of the city was largely sand dunes still. I find a lot of people in particular are perplexed that anyone would think to build a four-lane road on top of sand dunes. They are not surprised when the road is overtopped by blowing sand or it's closed when too much sand is on the road. They kind of shake their head and wonder why the road is there in the first place…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SPUR's plan kind of acknowledges that and moves the traffic from the Great Highway southbound lanes and puts two lanes, bidirectional traffic, on the east side of those, where we have northbound lanes now. it acknowledges we have a lot of blowing sand, and that we need to blunt the impact of major storm events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So what is SPUR's function? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SPUR is a convener and a coordinator for the master plan. The reason they're there, according to SPUR, is that they have a lot of contacts in the agencies. They know the players already, work with city agencies, and they are a non-partisan organization. They do advocate for some things but they're not an interested party in Ocean Beach directly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are next steps? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SPUR is in the process of gathering public input on their draft proposals. They are going to take that public input into account to see if they are on the right track. They will come back with a revision later on, with the goal of having a completed plan in Feb, 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How can people give feedback to SPUR? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The email is oceanbeach@spur.org.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Anything else? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's important to note that when SPUR first started this process, they expected to have one plan addressing changes to 2050.
