1. Legal protection: Thanks to Supervisor Barrales, the contract between the County of San Mateo and the Midpeninsula Open Space District (which, like the county, put up 1/4 the funds for purchasing Edgewood) has been rewritten so that Edgewood’s habitats are protected, any development is prohibited, and any further change to the contract or Edgewood’s status requires consent of both parties. This new contract was approved overwhelmingly by MROSD and the Board of Supervisors in summer of 1993.

2. The other side has given up: The Edgewood Park Citizens’ Committee, the group pushing to put a golf course on Edgewood, has changed its name to the San Mateo County Golfers’ Association.

3. Ballot proposition extremely unlikely: Because of item 2, any attempt to overturn item 1 isn’t likely to happen, for lack of money and support. If such a proposition made it onto the ballot, it would be overwhelmingly defeated.
