NATION : Bolinas Voters Say Stay Away
<i> From Times wire services</i>
BOLINAS, Calif. —
Residents of this village on the coast north of San Francisco voted to preserve their treasured insularity by opposing the construction of a highway sign to let people know where Bolinas is.
The Department of Transportation proposal to set up the sign on nearby Highway 1 lost Tuesday by a 304-114 margin.
The state has put up 35 signs pointing the way to the community, and each has disappeared, presumably snatched by Bolinas residents who don’t like visitors.
