What Will Pacifica Do With Its Iconic Pier?
About this episode
The episode discusses the Pacifica City Council's decision to demolish the Chit Chat Cafe at the Pacifica Pier and the implications for the community amid climate challenges.
Last week, the Pacifica City Council approved an emergency declaration to demolish the beloved Chit Chat Cafe at the Pacifica Pier, as parts of the structure began to crumble into the ocean. Plans for the rest of the pier are still up in the air, as Pacifica residents reckon with the future of their coastal community in the face of coastal erosion, sea level rise, and climate change.
