Re: “Oceano doesn't want to be the Dunes' doormat anymore”

Ian, please re-read my letter as it does not say anything about ending motorized recreation on the dunes. We want no vehicles on the beach north of Arroyo Grande Creek; the OHV riding area is miles south.

Contrast Pier Avenue with the main streets in any other California beach town, for example, Pismo Beach. Those communities can capitalize on their ocean proximity with shops and restaurants, while Oceano cannot due to heavy truck and trailer traffic from the OSDVRA. As you point out, it's miserable to be outside on Pier Avenue because of blowing sand - which is tracked onto the street from the ODSVRA.
