What You Can Do to Help Solve this Safety Crisis

There are many quick but powerful actions you can take to help improve the safety of everyone visiting Point Lobos State Natural Reserve.

• Write, call, DM, or pay a visit to public officials who must work together to make Point Lobos safe.

• Point the officials to the recommended solutions detailed on this website. Ask them to mobilize on immediate solutions, to start working on near-term measures, and to begin planning for the more effective long-term solution.

• Appeal to the officials’ “better angels.“ If that fails… Cajole. Needle. Beg if you have to. But get a commitment to act. Now!

• Post a link to this website on social media. Help awareness of this issue go viral. Create a groundswell of public pressure for positive actions that will improve the dangerous conditions at Point Lobos.

• Email the address of this website (FixPointLobosDangers.org) to your friends and neighbors. Urge them to take action to protect children and families. Help us improve conditions so that someone need not risk their life just to visit Point Lobos.

• Contact a journalist you know, write a letter to the editor of your favorite news source. Generate more public support for preventing a tragedy at Point Lobos.

• Call the California Highway Patrol if you see problems on Highway 1 near Point Lobos: 1-(800) 835-5247.

• Wear bright clothing (like a highly visible biker vest) if you are coming to Point Lobos. Consider decking yourself out in safety reflectors. Make sure that drivers zooming by you on Highway 1 can see you. Your life may depend on it.

• Visit Point Lobos on a weekday rather than a weekend, if at all possible. Weekdays are far less busy. You are far more likely to find a parking space in the Reserve. And if you do park on the highway, you likely will have a much safer, and shorter, trek to Point Lobos than on a weekend or holiday.
