Last night I saw more graffiti from the Blanco Nightmare gang. When will the city say or do something. They are ruining our city, and bringing down the GPA averages at Oak Crest.
Here we go again. Doing something that isn't necessary. The Encinitas City Council are fiscal fools. What a waste of money. And yet...still paying for the school property featuring finger painting classes. The foolishness never stops.
Blakespear continues to lie about the cost. Recently she had it up over $30M, closer to $35M and now it's lower at $28M. Do a PRA request and you'll see it's now over $55M.
What shell game is she playing with our money?? That the rest of the council is going along with? Isn't Jodee a cpa? Doesn't act like it, Blakespear is toying with fraud.
Making payments on the vacant school and the money comes from where? Not the City of Encinitas as they generate NO income but they do have money forcefully taken from tax payers. Now these misguided politicans want to go into further debt with tax payer money. When they are out of office the next election, we the tax payer will be stuck paying for their foolishness. This needs to stop now before they bankrupt our town.
Streetscape will pay for itself—that’s why business owners support it. It will increase their sales, rents, and property values—which all increase the tax base.
People opposed can’t get their story straight. They argue simultaneously that it won’t help business (it will), and that business owners are just greedy.
Can’t be both. The use of inconsistent and contradictory scare tactics proves they are lying.
Streetscam won't increase tax revenues for the city as downtown did. The commercially zoned corridor is too narrow, only on one side of the street, and there's not enough parking.
One lane in each direction and too-small roundabouts in the wrong places will jam the traffic and push people away from Leucadia 101 rather than pulling them to it.
On top of that, Streetscam will burden people who live west of 101 and create a public safety hazard for them and others.
Not even close. The $55 million is to convert the roadway so it matches the needs of the adjacent community. The spandex riders already take the outside lane. The frustrated I5 commuters from Oside and OC will just need to stay on I5 instead of cutting through our mainstreet which will have many more residents and visitors safety enjoying the space.
Majority of business owners want street improvements, but not roundabouts, not Streetscam. Ask them, not just the one person that posts here, repeatedly, always anonymously, who wants us to think he he speaks for them.
In fact, the majority of business owners are not in Leucadia 101 Mainstreet Association, and of that group, L101MSA, it's primarily the board of directors that promotes Streetscam. This small minority are commercial property owners who imagine their properties will be more valuable for leasing out (higher rents) or for redevelopment.
Those who can use I-5 to commute, do, unless there are backups or stoppages. Business owners want tourists to tour the highway, so as to patronize their shops. With snarled traffic, exacerbated by multiple roundabouts and more lane diets, recreational motor vehicle users would be dissuaded from driving up or down North 101
1:37- You sound like the same old rhetoric from the KLCC. Some people are not capable of understanding facts. They create their own fictional world. Sad but true.

ReplyDeleteThe total projected cost so far is $55 million. The city wants to borrow $30 million of that total.
ReplyDeleteHere we go again. Doing something that isn't necessary. The Encinitas City Council are fiscal fools. What a waste of money.

need. Wake up residents! Your turn will come.
ReplyDeleteI can not wait for this much needed streetscape! This plan is 15 years overdue. WTF is taking so long?!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe streetscape project speakers were spot on. Thank you. I agree with the supporting speakers, get it done!
ReplyDeleteCameron sounded crazy as usual. Do not listen to KLCC, they hate everything.
Finally City Council is doing something right.
Name just one reason to build this, just one. What a waste of money. Streetscam, just like Schoolscam. "A fool and his money"
ReplyDeleteI'll name three. 1) Safety, 2) Efficiency, and 3) Quality of Life
ReplyDeleteBring on the streetscape. This project is 15 years too late. Ask Roberta and Stephanie.
That's it?? That's the reasoning? Made up nonsense to spend tens of millions? The insanity. Fiscal fools
DeleteOh yeah, made up nonsense. Ha. No body wants improved 1) Safety, 2) Efficiency, and 3) Quality of Life right?!!
DeleteWhat a fool.......
I support Streetscape. It’s taken way too long.
ReplyDeletebuild it!
ReplyDeleteLeucadia would be better served by putting the money towards lowering the tracks
ReplyDelete$30M would lower about 25ft of track.
DeleteBring on Streetscape.
make it the 25 ft under Leucadia Blvd and silence the horns
DeleteStreetscam is incredibly dumb. Not getting the fed, state, county and local funding to trench the tracks when they're doubled is even dumber.
DeleteThe people that support it? Contractors and fiscal fools

DeleteAdd a few more million for the mounting pension obligations.

So you know Leucadia business dynamics better than the business owners?
DeleteUnlikely.
Well, yes. Look at the facts. 10:53 has and the conclusions are inescapably correct.
DeleteYour arrogance is showing.
DeleteNope, it's 10:53's facts vs. a few business owners' imaginings.
Delete10:53 's facts are correct in their head and they left out the world is flat and world peace is now achieved and forever more.
ReplyDeleteBuild the streetscape like you should have 15 years ago.... Merry Xmas!!!
$55 million for the out of town spandex crowd, and gridlock for the rest of us. Thanks city council!

ReplyDelete11:26 — Some people's thinking is so warped they'll come up with a way to justify anything. We're seeing this now from Trump supporters.

1:37 has it right.

ReplyDeleteThe streetscape will be great for the community.
9:08 is wrong, and 1:37 is right.
DeleteKLCC is never right. They are old and moldy.
