Interactive map of city council's upzone development sites

This map was put together by Susan Turney, a candidate for city council.

Measure U citywide impact.



Measure U was the high-density development plan rejected by voters but then imposed on the city by the city council anyway in the face of state pressure to add housing.

In this Coast News op-ed, Turney points out that the numbers given to the public are quite different than the numbers given to developers.

North Coast Current on Blakespear bike obstacles

North Coast Current:
Encinitas officials have defended a new protected bikeway along Coast Highway 101 between Cardiff and Solana Beach that may seem inviting for less-experienced cyclists but has actually been the site of multiple accidents, even striking some of the area’s most veteran riders.

Len Bourgeois, a local cyclist who has been riding for decades, said he suffered a double fracture to his collarbone after hitting one of the new bikeway’s wheel stops in Cardiff, immediately flipping his wheel around and forcing him to the ground.

Bourgeois has yet to report the incident to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, but he would not be the first.
