All the recent improvements to trails, walkways and cycle paths at the Solana Beach/ Encinitas city limits are tempting upwards of 200 pedestrians a day on weekends to dash across Coast Highway at a spot where there’s no crosswalks.
Encinitas and Solana Beach are now exploring options for solving this problem and the consultant they’ve jointly hired has produced three proposals, city traffic engineer Abe Bandegan told the Encinitas Mobility and Traffic Safety Commission Monday, May 8. However, he said, each option has its downsides.

Lets put BIA and the Dunce on the Sharrows and finally get the Mayor we deserve.
That area is pretty much Solana Beach, lol...
DeleteAt the budget discussions, Tony pretty much nuked this project. The article says the people that will benefit are mostly Solana Beach residents. Plus, we have no budget, and this project is unfunded. The only question is why we continue to press forward? I heard from one of the commissioners that Monday's Mobility and Traffic meeting was another fubar situation, two meetings in a row.
DeleteTaking on a new project while they haven't remove the hazard that harms hundreds of walkers that wish access our coast and visit their local stores. Many elderly and our young that used to easily cross from Vulcan Avenue to the coast and Just Peachy now can not longer walk and have to be driven. Health is tanking and over 200 people a day still scale that hazard with many getting hurt by falling when crossing.
ReplyDeleteRemove Tony's Fence and Remove the Da Dunce as Mayor.
If you get hurt climbing over a fence on someone else’s property, then tough shit. Your fault. It’s not your property.
DeleteFuck off LA loser at 6:54 - that's public property dating back to our Kumeyaay and Diegueno forefathers with pathways traveling to our beach since humans and animals were walking here.
DeleteCut Tony's Fence. Cut Tony out of Encinitas.
Public property you say?
DeleteCool.
Then go lay your beach towel on the tracks and enjoy your “rights.”
Go back to LA you fucking loser 737- you sound like a complete dumb shit.
DeleteIt's not public property, never has been. It's railroad right of way, period...
DeleteIt’s only been a RR right-of-way for a tiny blip in time. And after a while, no one will even remember that it was a railroad right away. Time has a way of healing wounds.
DeletePedestrians cross streets at their own peril. I've almost been run down several times - some cars do not yield and act as tho you're impeding on their right of way! Cops need to set up a sting operation to ticket non-yielding motorists..
ReplyDeleteYeah, maybe. There was no pearl in crossing that simple railroad track. There’s no danger whatsoever until Tony put in that fucking fence. So pissed that guy fucks up Encinitas every chance he gets. Get rid of Kranz now!!
DeleteThat they do. Ever drive east on Leucadia Blvd. through to San Marcos? Enough tix handed out that nearly everyone knows to follow the speed limit. Been that way for a few years, it's got such a rep for cops lying in wait. Not a cheap ticket.
DeleteI concur!
DeleteA better path forward

more stop lights...that's just what we need...
ReplyDelete? 1151. Weird comment.
Delete12:59...IT WAS SARCASUM...GAWD !!!
DeleteTime wounds all heals. Eventually.
ReplyDeleteThe loser is the one in denial about who owns what. The railroad owns the right of way. Period.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I am not from LA and doubt the previous poster was either.
Try to catch up. I would hope you can appreciate the meaning of private property. Decades ago I lived at two different locations on Vulcan and crossed the tracks without a worry daily.
Even way back then I knew it was the railroads private property and we were trespassing every time we crossed 'their' tracks. There was no enforcement, no high buck ticketing, and as far as I knew, no accidental deaths by train.
Suicide by train was known. One of our harmless homeless by the name of Harold ended himself right in front of my place around lunchtime one day. I walked out to see what the commotion was about and saw the upper torso laying on the ground. His other half must have been dragged a bit further.
There was no blood and guts, None at all. Morbid? I remember being sorry that Harold wouldn't be around anymore. Everyone knew him. Everyone said hi to him and he responded in kind with kindness.
A fence would not have saved Harold and it won't save the hopeless now. The 'private' fence is on private property. It is all about the railroad 'suits' attempt to not own responsibility when someone chooses to end their life by train.
That division of our community's has always needed to to be lowered with many crossovers, not just one here and another a mile away. If I lived near there tracks, I would cross them at will by looking both ways and not wearing earphones and being distracted by a smart? dumb cellphone.
1:46 people would complain ifin' ya' hung em' with a new rope.
Delete1:46- 🥱
DeleteNCTD is a public agency. The people own NCTD and the RR Right-of-way.
DeleteDOD is a public agency. The people own DOD and Camp Pendleton.
DeleteSee how dumb that sounds as an argument that we should have unrestricted access to military bases?
Sometimes the government owns or manages property with hazards and they restrict access.
Duh.
3:50- actually sounds pretty good considering the future use the trail. That is a public trail. 👌😁
DeleteThis guy would fit right in with the public speaker crowd at Encinitas Council meetings.

Yeah, a picture of a dunce hat and some dorky looking guy in it. That would be our mayor.
DeleteRepublicans don’t really care about border security.
ReplyDeleteIf they did, then they would have followed through with the comprehensive immigration reform package they negotiated and agreed to in 2010.
They decided it was not as important as denying Obama a win.
🥱
Delete10:32 What is wrong with you?????
Delete5:00,
DeleteHistorical facts.

Why not just make the entirety of 92024 roads ALL ROADS E-Bike only with an age cohort of 9-13? 15 minute (shitty) city bro
ReplyDeleteYou sound jealous. Hey, here’s a thought go out and try and get on an E bike. Write it down the road and I bet you’re gonna smile. Oh that’s right you don’t wanna smile you just want to complain. 👌😘
Delete* ride it down the road and I bet you’re gonna smile.
ReplyDeleteummmmm exhaust fumes. Breathe deep.
ReplyDeleteStay in your home. Covid will get you.
DeleteExhaust fumes. That’s a fucking joke. Shows you’re a diesel loving bitch.
DeleteJust like North County transit District.
What is shows is that I am not attracted to biking on our major thoroughfares and breathing in all that it comes with.
ReplyDeleteI sincerely hope that none, zero, of our committed bikers suffer from the exhaust of our poorly planned roadway failures.
Ok. Good point. Me neither.
DeleteAnd I sure wish NCTD would clean up their act. They purchase and burn millions of gallons of diesel and other fuel per year. Completely gagging.
