Even had they not done the erosion control. My treasured spot had already began to change. The three huge rock formations that made this place great had broken down from the constant waves crashing down on them. Some of the best memories of my childhood came at the end of Woodrow street. It was our private paradise. My friends and I always had our place. All the real good surfers were at the Lane or Stockton street.

Hi Waddell. I understand this sentiment. These decisions are made by the county and city planning commissions and the Coastal Commission has I believe final authority. To find out when these bodies have meetings for landuse related issues check out Gary Patton’s morning Land Use Report on KUSP: http://blogs.kusp.org/landuse/ which with their new programming may just be a podcast. You can also contact your County Supervisor (Ryan Coonerty for Santa Cruz/West Cliff Drive) and City Council members and ask them.

What these rocks do is protect the millionaires, who foolishly built or bought a house across the street from the ocean. In trade, what has happened,all the little coves, peninsulas,beaches and surf spots have been ruined! I was on westcliff today and saw that they were putting in MORE boulders near the end of Woodrow, which will completely destroy the surf spot “finger bowl” once and for all! Finger Bowl was a natural phenomenon that occurred every summer until the early 90’s “when they put the boulders in”. Back to my original question….who makes the decision? Why is there no vote from the people that live here.
