While the iconic SoCal burger joint is eagerly awaited by its fans, some local residents are concerned about traffic at the already congested intersection. No doubt many Carlsbad commuters and visitors from Orange County and LA will pull off the freeway for a Double Double.
It's a valid concern, but it doesn't seem reasonable to deny the replacement of an unpopular restaurant with a popular one just because more people will want to go there.
And this site, unlike the Leucadia I-5 Starbucks/Subway complex approved by the last city council, has adequate parking.
I hope that Vegan Fast food place opens up. I'm done with disease inducing fast food places. They are sooooo stupid and so much a part of the list of stupid things the baby boomer generation embraced.
ReplyDeleteBaby Boomers- The most spoiled rotten and stupid generation in the history of the USA.
We have a Vegan fast food joint, it's called Mozy. Few if anyone goes there. The food is good and the people are nice but you have to wonder when they will pull their heads out of their asses and make it a dedicated coffee spot. That's what this town wants....more coffee.
DeleteI didn't get the jest of the first two posts. Are you people idiots?
ReplyDeleteWhat don't you understand Buckethead?? Typical Mayberry by the Sea voter you are...
DeleteWhat kind of idiot are you?
DeleteIt's "gist"... not "jest", as in, "I didn't get the gist fo the first two posts."
DeleteI agree that those first two comments sound like they came from children (though Mozy Cafe is pretty good), but before you go asking people if they're idiots, I'd recommend checking your own wording for obvious and basic grammatical errors. It might make you look like an idiot also.
In-N-Out is a great business. It is the burger equivalent to coffee at Starbucks. Just make sure there is sufficent drive-thru so it doesn't back out into the street. The nincompoop engineering department can't be trusted to require that. Look what happened off Leucadia, but the Planning Commission played a hand in that one by approving it.
ReplyDeleteGreat! It's only one exit up from the regional sports fields.
ReplyDeleteWith the parks and rec department advertising on Facebook about all the natural trails for hiking and riding bicycles in Encinitas, the city is turning a small town into a tourist trap.
Now I'm confused...I thought that was the plan?
DeleteDel Taco has been there over 30 years so at least its not another Walmart going in. The city projects it will increase traffic by 950 cars per day? Wishful thinking. But I know what you mean about planning for a long line. That's always smart, but the people who are in charge approve things like that who never had to operate a delivery truck like I did. Nor did the architects evidently. Not one of the local schools has a sane loading/unloading area. But what purdy campi!
ReplyDeleteDoes a 1 ton Postal truck count?
DeleteA skateboard counts if you can roll it to a dockless school with 2 tons of paper.
DeleteA MUST READ!

Wordy Word.
DeleteAccording to the minutes of the March 12 meeting, Barth and Muir voted "no" on the adoption of the resolution to send the ballot in to the registrar of voters for the special election.
DeleteWas that because deputy mayor Shaffer introduced an amendment to change the wording on the ballot question?
Gaspar, Shaffer, and Kranz voted for the change in ballot question wording.
Now the Fire Department can go to the burger joint after they've finished their shopping at Von's. $100,000 a year buys alot of burgers - check out Mark Muir's girth $170,000/yr).
ReplyDeleteMmmmm burrrrger!
ReplyDeleteAre they going to build it before or after the interchange makeover on I5 that will occur when Caltrans begins their lane widening project?

ReplyDeleteThe city should cap all pensions at $100,00/year. That would still put them in the upper 5% percentile of all pension benefitees. Better yet, a 401K like San Diego. This new City Council is likely to look the other way on this one.
ReplyDeleteTax public pensions over $100,000, 50%.... Let them help pay for the huge pension debt.
ReplyDeleteWhen is the council going to address this fiasco and cut all pensions to 2%.... not 2.7%.
ReplyDeleteCut all current pensions. Come on City Council. What are you waiting for?
It might even help clear out a lot of the deadwood at city hall. There should not be any lifes at the City. They lose all sense of urgency after a few years and just start watching the pension clock.
Its tax money that could be going to much needed projects. City Council what are you waiting for?
Council doing a bait and switch on the voters?
