On December 14th, 2020, despite 77 emails from the public all in opposition to the project (with only one email in support), the Daly City Council voted 3-to-2 in favor of granting the Coastal Development Permit for geotechnical testing of the land at Thornton Beach Bluff. While this was a disappointment, this meeting showed that some members of the Council are listening to our objections and we need to keep up the pressure to stop this project from proceeding.
You can email them about your concerns about their position at citycouncil@dalycity.org. The new mayor Juslyn Manalo, the former Mayor Glenn Sylvester and Councilman Raymond Buenaventura were the three who voted to proceed with the testing. Councilwoman DiGiovanni and Dr. Rod Daus-Magbual were the two who voted against the testing.
We will be closely monitoring the testing process which will only increase the public’s ire at this proposal. The media has contacted us and we will be launching our PR initiative later in January.
