Resident urges shuttle, bicycle access and operator coordination to ease Sand Harbor event gridlock
Summary
A public commenter described near-standstill traffic entering Sand Harbor and urged shuttle systems and better operator coordination (including promoting bicycle access) to reduce danger and congestion during events.
A resident, Mark Sascoy, told the CAB about hazardous traffic conditions entering Sand Harbor during events and urged local agencies and event operators to coordinate shuttles and promote bicycles as alternatives.
"This is extremely dangerous," Sascoy said, describing long standstill queues and a late-arriving sheriff officer who could only intermittently waive cars through. He suggested a shuttle system like those used at other large events, and emphasized bicycle access as an underused option given a nearby pathway and crosswalks.
County and CAB members noted the state park and National Park Service manage Sand Harbor and suggested coordinating with event organizers and the Park Service. A CAB alternate recommended notifying the Shakespeare Festival and other event operators about shuttle possibilities and exploring incentives (such as drink coupons) to encourage bicycle use and reduce vehicle throughput.
