Our small communities cannot take the traffic burden that will come with this monument. The public were not given any chance to make an appeal. The decision was made by politicians behind closed doors.

As a volunteer firefighter and EMT I have provided service to this area, including the proposed monument property. I cannot even consider supporting monument status until such time as a comprehensive plan covering the full spectrum of fire and life safety issues is prepared and fulltime implementation is guaranteed. Current life safety plans are incomplete and inadequate.
I have comment to the sponsors on the subject of public safety, and in reply have received only a generic boilerplate "thank you for your comments" in return.
Do NOT rush to monument status.

My parents bought into Last Chance in the late 60's and our combined and extended family have treasured it beauty and wilderness every since. I would hate to see that wonderful ambiance threatened by hikers, bikers, and other visitors and uses. Please think this through carefully. Thank you.

A GIANT NO to National Monument status. BLM should let ranchers lease the land for cattle pasture. Keep the weeds down and the people out.

The land is already protected and will soon be available to the public. National Monument Status will do little or nothing on the already-impacted coast highwy 1 except increase traffic to unmanageable levels.

Please take time to evaluate the environmental, traffic and infrastructure impact this would have on the North Coast and Santa Cruz County at large.

slow this train down. I don't think we can handle the impact either at Coast Diaries or in Santa Cruz

Being a resident of the North Coast for over 22 years, and one who lives in harmony with the wildlife, I have had much concern over these very issues. Thank goodness I am not alone.

Slow down, yes. I'm not opposed in principle, but, as the petition points out, the land is now protected. National Monument status is not required and could seriously endanger wildlife and overrun the town of Davenport.

I tried to stay positive on this campaign, but the Santa Cruz north coast is clearly not ready for any additional visitation. with the current local, County, State and Federal management strategies currently in place.
Here's a good one:
The recent and controversial (sections of the road had many years left) re-paving of Highway 1 from the the west side of Santa Cruz to the San Mateo border is causing unexpectedly long delays due to road use census data not accurately reflecting reality. Visitation to this stretch of coast is seeing non-linear growth spikes that are not well documented and affect not only the coast, but core roads within Santa Cruz.

Most distressed that Anna Eschoo isn't listening to those who write to her. Hopefully this petition will indicate that there is substantive reasons to stop, look and listen. There is no protection just because lands are deemed national monuments. This land is far too valuable a resource to loose, just to pad the county supervisors pockets and create jobs for "environmentalists."

suggest daily visitor quotas to reflect traffic impacts and protect biological uniqueness. BLM already has established quotas in place for various reasons. A simple app could serve as a visitor guide to apply for entrance.

If the property is developed as a National Mounument - campgrounds, visitor center, etc - the Slow Coast will see more visitors and increased use without any potential increase in funding for county roads and services.
