Many are likely familiar with State Senator Catherine Blakespear's SB 569 bill, which would have effectively prevented cities from making any modifications to any separated bikeways, regardless of how many unintended consequences they create, including injuries, fatalities, and operational issues. The bill was very deservedly ordered inactive on August 31st, so it is likely dead for at least the current legislative session.
However, Senator Blakespear has now surreptitiously inserted language into separate budget bills that would essentially prevent any modifications to her Santa Fe Drive protected bikeway project in Encinitas, and it also includes a threat to force the city to return $3 million in state funding. See the linked Agenda Report for the September 9th Encinitas City Council meeting for details.
Encinitas' protected bikeways have led to two cyclist deaths and numerous serious injuries, and first-responders have expressed serious concerns about response times being inappropriately extended by the Santa Fe Drive project (among many other dangerous conditions created there). The exploitation of state lawmaking to prevent local control to make things safer is unconscionable.

"Meddling" by representing her district? Or did fuckwads forget she's our elected state senator and about to be reelected.
ReplyDeleteCatherine is the most republican democrat I can recall.
ReplyDeleteNice try, Blakespear is a self proclaimed Progressive Liberal, similar to Mamdani.
DeleteWhy is she similiar to Mamdani? Come on genius, let's see some bullet points. Use your brain for once, Trog.....
DeleteBecause he's all the Golden Pedo can talk about. The putz that he is.
DeleteIgnore Golden, he's a classic troll who has nothing better to do..
DeleteNot so much a troll as a lifetime loser who's never had a real job, a love life or a clue. Watch out kids!
DeleteWhat categories count as real jobs? lol...
DeleteThe majority of city council doesn't have what is usually referred to as a "real" job, a career. Bruce & Joy do, the other three, meeeeeh.
DeleteI don't find anything wrong with that in general, but they bring a different logic and thought process as city councilmen.
The state gave us $3M to cover the costs of a project. The councilmen decided to rip it out after less than a year of completion and is forcing residents to cover their revenge campaign. If I were the state I'd get the wasted $3M taxpayer money back too; it's their responsibility.
ReplyDeleteThe state wastes taxpayers money all the time, just look at all the fraud and waste. The state doesn’t care about the 3 million what they care about is likemindedness, submission, control.
DeleteMakes sense. Taxpayers cover the $6-7 million tab for politicians, wannabe politicians and their hangers on to hiss and scratch at each other.
DeleteSpittoon's going ballistic because there's black people that dared to enter her neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteI suspect she posted that image to get a reaction so she could bitch and moan about that too. She is a victim.
DeleteFreakshow do not matter.

DeleteHow to guarantee people show up your house with torches and pitchforks-
ReplyDeleteI sure would hate to be in that house and especially be the Cardiff Gimp.

The goat always wins.
ReplyDeleteKelly almost won Tahiti… The one and only.
DeleteKelly Slater - The one and only❤️
DeleteIf you get a loan from a bank to build a house, then after a year bulldoze the house, the bank is going to want their money back.
ReplyDeleteDuh.
The haters were too busy doing their happy dance when the legislation failed, but the goat worked them on the other side. Ouch!
ReplyDeleteKevin S's infection in anus is clearly impacting his thought process and comments. Might be from the high fever. Let's hope his family steps in and gets that weirdo some help. It needs some appreciation and purpose in it's life. Another Freakshow lost soul..
Delete🤮 but true.
DeleteFS is so vile. 🤮👎🏾
It’s no wonder BlakeSpear is the most hated person in Encinitas.
ReplyDeleteShe’s so rude, keeping that gimp who screeches through the night and moans at like 3 and 4 am in the morning when it’s not getting enough action from the Freakshow.
What a disgusting family. 🤮
Is it true, Home Depot sold out of pitchforks, and were else can I buy one for the upcoming community event?
- Asking for a friend
Agreed. The most disappointing families and detrimental to Rubenstein Dr.
DeleteA true embarrassment for the nice Cardiff area.

Does anyone know if Rancho Sante Fe Animal Shelter or the County https://www.sddac.com/. will do a wellness check on The Cardiff Gimp?
DeleteI'm worried. I heard some extra loud screeching around 2:30am right when Phonz Tranz was leaving the compound. It sounded horrible. The FS are so vile.
Where can I donate to the Free The Gimp campaign?
- Rubenstein Drive concerned neighbor.
Reality has left EU behind.
ReplyDeleteFS do not matter
DeleteSigh...
Delete6:57am The only hate here is you and this comes from an informed voter who did not vote for her.
ReplyDeleteWhy the hate? Whatever hate there is, is all yours.
FS do not matter.

Brad,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your time on the phone today, and yes, you're very welcome for the campaign donation. Per our conversation, we are fully aligned to bring Boo Bashes to the next level when you're elected..

😂 🤮
DeleteDUMB AS A ROCK!!
ReplyDeleteBlakespear is worse than Joe Stalin. Stalin let his comrads walk in a park, Blakespear no. You could walk on the sidewalk at the beach and be safe from Covid but as soon as you stepped on the sand the Covid knew it and started attacking you, I mean you can't be that stupid but ol' Blakespear is.
DUMB AS A ROCK!!
Worse than stoopid, a closet fking ugly, smelly dick 🤮
ReplyDeleteThat's Joseph to you 10:43am
ReplyDeleteRachel, Christy, and Natalie,
ReplyDeleteI saw shown the garbage you were spreading around today from your anonymous accounts.
You say Ringa Viskanta was wearing an earpiece during the debate at our American Legion. She was not. You took a photo of her touching her ear and made up a lie around it. I saw the video. She was pushing her hair back.
But you really stepped in it this time.
That photo was taken before the debate, while the names of MIA and KIA servicemen were being read out loud.
I served. I have buried friends and family who served. Some never came home.
You do not use a moment like that to make up some cheap political lie. You just do not.
So I am donating $12,000 to group supporting Ringa. I have asked everyone I know to do what they can as well.
One thousand dollars for every friend and family member I lost who died serving this country.
Twelve brave men.
I am retired. That is alot of money to me. But after seeing what you did, I definately can't think of a better use for it.
Every dollar is in their memory.
You three should be ashamed of yourselves.
If you are not, God help you.
This sounds like BS. Bruce wouldn't allow his people to soil the memory of military dead.
Delete4:19pm You are the one who really stepped in it this time. Your eyes have to be brown from the sheet you espouse.
ReplyDeleteHow much were you paid to sell your soul?
Okay I'll say it, RimJob is a Sacramento plant. It is literally wearing an earpiece during questioning so it can receive its marching orders. Anyone that votes for it is either getting paid, an absolute idiot or getting paid and an idiot (ex: the obvious moose).
ReplyDelete🤣🤣🤣 This retarded lie shows just how much the MAGAtts are sweating. They should be.
ReplyDeleteThe best part is, the only people stupid enough to believe lies like this are already voting for Bruce and his MAGAtts. So all they're doing is turning more independents against them.
10:29pm Hopefully Bruce will have a better council member with Ed than the other couple of ...... he has to herd through every council meeting.
