[SDCBC] Plans advance for Leucadia highway improvements

[John Eldon]

I live in the area, and I plan to attend the Saturday workshop. Many of us
are fighting very hard for a 10 mph reduction in the posted speed limit and
mechanism by which we can enforce it.

Tip: northbound, ride to the LEFT of the fog line, since the shoulder is
assuredly NOT a legal bike lane. Likewise, southbound stay clear of the door
zone.

Stay tuned ...

"Plans to beautify a 2-mile stretch of North Coast Highway 101 advanced
Thursday, as design consultants addressed the Encinitas Planning
Commission and a staffer announced dates for public workshops later this
month." and "The city's right-of-way is 100 feet wide, and Chapo said the
designers could take advantage of that width to create crosswalks, bus
stops and parking on the east side of the highway."

Will anyone be there to urge them to make it safer for cyclists, too? I
love riding through Leucadia but SB between the doors and the traffic, and
NB on that narrow shoulder it can be a bit risky.
