Representatives from the Bolinas Community Public Utility District and the Bolinas Fire Protection District (BFD) are in on-going discussions with Supervisor Kinsey and the County's Department of Public Works concerning the condition of Terrace Avenue and the funding sources to restore it.
While concerned citizens weathered the recent storm, no life threatening incidents occurred as a result of the inaccessible emergency medical and fire vehicles.
The BFD began responding to calls with the first downed tree at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday. Additional trees fell on Olema-Bolinas, Bo-Fairfax, Juniper, Terrace and Mesa Roads. Members of the department worked through the night removing the trees and manning road blocks at three sites with downed power lines.
