Garvin Walsh, the recipient of Mayor Kranz's e-mail forwarding, responds.

Happy birthday, Prop A!

 Bruce Ehlers in Coast News:
Back in 2013 residents had no voice in the city's growth and were becoming increasingly alarmed by the looming threats of increased density and height throughout Encinitas.

There's lots of fun history of Prop A and council shenanigans in the EU archives.

Jeremy Blakespear still loves the cycle traps

Coast News letters:

As a lifelong cyclist and a reasonably fast rider myself, I might be inclined to dislike barrier-protected bike lanes, such as the ones recently installed between Chesterfield Drive and north of Swami’s in Encinitas.

But when I ride there, I can’t help but smile at the kids, older folks and beginner cyclists out enjoying one of the greatest stretches of coastline in the United States.

This project has given something to just about everyone. There are 50 new parking spots for surfers and visitors to use, a dedicated pedestrian walking lane, a new 2-way barrier-protected bike lane, and even a roadway lane for fast riders who prefer to be away from slower users.

To everyone who is up in arms about this positive change, I invite you to reconsider your opposition and embrace improvements that benefit not just you but all of us, fast and slow alike.
