The city of Seattle will pay $9.25 million to settle a lawsuit filed by a bicyclist who slammed into a car and suffered a traumatic brain injury while riding in a “protected bike lane” near Green Lake, according to attorneys for the injured man.
The settlement came after King County Superior Court Judge Kent Liu found the city was negligent, violated its own standard of care and breached its duty to the bicycle-riding public in designing the bicycle lane, according to court documents.
Yep, sounds just like Encinitas.
ReplyDeleteYou can thank Bruce Ehlers for hiring experience gal Arizona Jenny
🌵Jenny Implemented these disasters and her and her uneducated snake chase are keeping them in place.
Absolutely horrendous and the taxpayers will pay, and the citizens will pay in grieving and losing family members.
Children die moms are dying and yet, Bruce keeps 🌵Jenny and snake Jace and their bike traps in place. 🤮
RIP - Emily, Emery and all the others.

You can thank Bruce Ehlers for hiring Blakespear’s gal Arizona Jenny
DeleteYup.
DeleteBruce Ehlers has proved to be a failure.
His most important responsibility and task as Mayor is to hire a good city manager.
What does he do? He hires Blakespear’s, gal, pal, who is a proven insider failure, w no experience as a priority manager, and has a PE background. She’s completely lacking in fiscal stewardship. WTF Ehlers?
We know you love to talk, and bang on the gravel, but you really need to return to the planning commission.
My Lord, when will the City of Encinitas finally get their 💩 together?
This town needs an enema!
You are a lying liar. What exactly has the city manager done that is so terrible?
DeleteWould you have rather have Bruce or Kranz/Shaffer/Blakespeare/Mali. Most of us chose Bruce. Quit you're whining or run yourself.
DeleteBeen to Seattle lately? The place is a run down pile of waste.
ReplyDeleteThey kept voting in leftists, who possess zero logic and now the place is a dump. Everything the left does it ruins.
Encinitas is running Encinitas like a shit show and completely wasteful.
ReplyDeleteSo much revenue coming in from the gigantic property taxes on our homes and yet the city continues to flounder and waste all of this money. Ehlers and 🌵Jenny are pathetic.
Simple, financial sage advice:

Wow. I wouldn't have guessed that in a million years.
Same team, same perspective, same plans. Same failure for the community.
I bet Blakespear, her street design gimp, and the whole freakshow are stoked.
Too bad the wrecking ball continues in Encinitas. 🤮
I wish the needless deaths would honestly stop
Look at this pay spiking!
No wonder The City of Encinitas is broke! 😵💫😡

Don’t even get me started about the incompetence of the city.
DeleteHow about the complete inaction and fake support and then absolutely zero follow through on Emery‘s death.
How pathetic, Ehlers and 🌵Jenny are sinking Encinitas.
And NONE of this is the fault of idiots on bikes?
DeleteWake UP !
Reminds me of fools that blame guns when the guns don't pull their own triggers...........
Zero follow through? Stop being such a dhimmi. There's a long list of names above, none of them got a street named after them either. There have been many recent safety improvements adjacent to schools. What would you have the city do?
ReplyDeleteFix the roads. Quit fucking around with stupid low use expensive trophy projects like a second senior center and all these stupid senseless programs like climate action plan paperwork. More pollution reduction is accomplished from stay at home and electric vehicle vehicles. The city shouldn’t be wasting our tax dollars on stupid shit like that.
DeleteFix Leucadia Boulevard it’s gonna kill someone. you only paved a portion of it. Fix Encinitas Boulevard. It looks like shit, coast highways crap, and Vulcan Avenue is crap m, and my residential street and all of the others look like shit.
Get some sheriff deputies on the street giving tickets to all the drunks and distracted drivers. Everybody’s on their freaking phone. The sheriffs need to start giving tickets..
Quit hiring more employees to sit behind monitors and do nothing all day. The last thing we need is more freaking lifeguards doing nothing. And no more fire princesses, please.
Same Libertarian garbage. Go Volunteer somewhere, hater.....
DeleteThat’s hilarious. Fix the roads is a libertarian thing.
DeleteI voted democrat my whole life, and I would like our roads fixed. What the hell is wrong with you?
Libertarian😂😂🤣
Brodee Champlain-Kingman was riding his bike near the intersection of El Camino Real and Santa Fe Drive.(in progress), -Pulled out in front of a delivery van going 50 on a bike that goes 25 at best. Parents didn't train kids how to ride bike. Driver cleared of all charges. Not a good example.
ReplyDeleteRyan Currie, a 48-year-old Encinitas father ( in progress),
"A man killed in a bicycle accident in Encinitas has been identified.
It happened on Sunday, March 17, just after midnight. Deputies from the North Coastal Sheriff's Station responded to a bicyclist down in the 2700 block of S. Coast Highway 101."
Emily RIP (pending) https://silvainjurylaw.com/analysis/emily-hernandez-killed-encinitas-hit-and-run-crash/
Use the crosswalk on 101 at Leucadia. Don't risk not being seen in the dark.
"Emily Hernandez, 66, was struck as she was walking across the 101 Highway to meet her youngest daughter for dinner at Nectarine Grove on Jan. 19 around 7 p.m."

Guy got backed over by an 84 year old.
"Preliminary information indicates that a white sedan, driven by an 84-year-old male, struck a pedestrian in the roadway. The 60-year-old male pedestrian was transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. The driver remained on scene and was uninjured following the collision."
Sorry,Ehlers. We’re not buying your stupid shit.
DeleteYou hired a loser and everyone knows it.
Get rid of Arizona Jenny. Your legacy is being established as a complete loser for Encinitas. Everyone knows the CRC is a magnet. 🤮
I'm not Ehlers, Jerome...
DeleteYour Ehlers and your a liar
DeleteEhlers knows the difference between your and you’re.
DeleteTo the poster who keeps putting unrelated traffic fatalities together, please stop. You're embarrasing yourself and not making the point for traffic safety at the same time.. People like the Chalakians suffered a real loss here, so quit trying to make points off of other people's suffering....
Delete12:56- no shit jackass. We all did. RIP.
DeleteThe City of Encinitas and specifically Ehlers and AZ Jenny Need to get their shit together. Actually, Arizona Jenny needs to go. Her golden parachute is already a sunk cost.
We got your point the first time, the next 999 posts we ignored. Go somewhere else.
Delete7:56....good job. You see, these clowns writing in bad mouthing you........are exactly how leftists think....or don't.
DeleteThey can't as they don't possess the ability to reason.
Children with A.D.D and the fact they can vote and drive car.....blows my mind
The city completely ruined Encinitas Boulevard. Freaking high concentration of box pointrs. people are gonna die
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Ehlers and Arizona Jenny. 🤮
🌵🤮
Delete9:45am Suffering short term memory much?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely convenient for your divisive point of view.
Nope. We are spot on.

Reportedly the city (or someone) removed rocks dedicated to pets who have passed from a small park in Cardiff. I'd check with the same lady that forced the Love Your Neighbor sign removed.
ReplyDeleteDo it on your own land.
DeleteTell that to Dave.
DeleteFifi's boulder is no more?
Delete'Out damn spot' goes back centuries, think Shakespeare, and in your case is still applicable. You can and have bought your fake numbers of imagined supporters. Your efforts to divide are failing no matter how many posts you regurgitate here. Save EU and save Encinitas from SEN. The voters will see through your shallow efforts to divide.
ReplyDeleteStupid dog rock issue is City staff just deflecting issues about how incompetent local city staff is.
ReplyDeleteWe have our inside sources.
Do it on your own land.
DeleteIt’s white people graffiti.
You said white , which means
DeleteRACIST!!!!!!
I guess its time to clear out Dave's rock garden too. Do it on your own land dude.
DeleteKranz hates Dave. 👎
DeleteThere is no possible definition of graffiti that doesn’t include this.
DeleteThere’s some serious payouts going on, and the city will have to raise taxes in order to pay for all of these lost lawsuits and huge settlements . It’s all because of the poor City of Encinitas incompetent leadership.
ReplyDeletehttps://thecoastnews.com/city-of-encinitas-agrees-to-11-million-settlement-in-walker-lawsuit/
This settlement to Dr. Worley’s family is so high. The city won’t even talk about it.
https://thecoastnews.com/settlement-talks-begin-in-lawsuit-over-cyclists-death-in-encinitas/
if we get out of the next three or four under $10 million each consider ourselves lucky.
I’m sure the four seasons aren’t done yet. That was a big-time loss considering those delineators and curbs had no reflector tape on them and they were not visible at night. The hazardous conditions were documented and Encinitas will lose that one for sure.
Negligence and liability are real, especially when the hazards are known and the city is noticed and chooses to ignores them.
* I’m sure the four C’s attorneys aren’t done yet. That will be a big-time loss considering those delineators and curbs had no functional reflector tape on them and they were not visible at night. The original reflector tape was all beat up and worn off And the Ballard color was no longer green. It was black, matching darkness. The hazardous conditions were documented and Encinitas will lose that one for sure.
DeleteThe city has insurance, same insurance they used in the Walker case, which wasn't their fault....
DeleteYeah, right wasn’t their fault that’s why they paid out $11 million. I’m sure Dr. Worley’s was higher.
DeleteHe was a great man and was killed because of the city negligence.
Same as the four C dad. They should’ve been functional reflector tape at minimum on those bike traps. Lack of maintenance and faulty design caused a hazard. Open and shut case.
City of Encinitas is the worst. RIP.
Their premiums for the insurance. JPA must be scott high considering how many 10 millions of dollars they continually lose.
Pretty much like self insurance. The JPA is probably like, “hey Encinitas you suck and your payouts and premiums are 10 times higher than everybody else else’s.
Yeah, like Walker wasn't going for more than the settlement figure. You don't know much about that kind of law, obviously.....This topic was discussed Ad nauseum at the time. If you're not a slip and fall lawyer, or a risk specialist, shut up and sit down.
Deletehttps://thecoastnews.com/second-witness-describes-walker-accident-she-was-invisible/
DeleteThe City of Encinitas has someone representing them on risk issues with absolutely zero education or common sense. It’s very easy to understand why the City of Encinitas has so many hazards and pays out such high costs. It’s worse than that, though is the pain and suffering that endures. Very sad.
ReplyDeleteWe know because we have insiders. ✅
DeleteWhat are their names?
DeleteDoes Ms. Schwarm have a degree in her related field - or at all?
DeleteYou can't get rid of her by running your yapper, but keep trying.....
DeleteNot trying to get rid of her. Just showing her chops/lack. Explains so much.
DeleteWeakest City Managers in CA.
DeleteBut they effectively 🥰 bombed Ehlers.
LukeJim’s city manager?
DeleteKranz hates everyone who sees him for who he really is. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteNo longer in office. It's like junior high on here...
ReplyDeleteThe gift that keeps on giving along with Blakespear. Who exactly do you think is responsible for the current Santa Fe fiasco? Those "no longer in office." Not junior high, facts. Sorry you can't admit to it.
DeleteAnd none of this is the clowns on bikes fault........right?
ReplyDeleteIdiots riding next to cars thinking "nothing will happen"
Ya' right.
Those no longer in office are the ones responsible. You appear to be a fan of Builders Remedy and ready to cash in if the agenda is not followed. Our mayor is the gift that keeps giving. His wisdom has been earned for decades of selfless paying it forward. Imagine this council majority without his leadership. There is a reason the morons and moron adjacent losers have ganged up on him. His fellow council members would be up sheets creek without him at the helm and that is precisely what they seek. Save Encinitas from these disrupters . Don't buy into their divisive bs. Do your homework and the truth, their truth, such as it is, or rather is not, will shine through.
ReplyDeleteThe public can see bullshit a mile away. Give it up crazy eyes.
DeleteEhlers and the clowns have been in office for over a year. They could’ve easily put an item on the agenda to remove the bike traps by now. How many more people have to die?
ReplyDeleteYou know why they haven’t?
🌵Jenny and 🐍 Jace. The worst city managers in California.
