CARLSBAD BOULEVARD U-TURN AT POINSETTIA LANE
me Engineering Department is at the beginning stage of a Capital
improvement Project to add a left turn lane on northbound Carlsbad
Boulevard at Poinsettia Lane, to allow u-turns at Poinsettia. Currently,
vehicles must proceed to Palomar Airport Road to make a legal u-
turn. This project is included in the CIP, and we would like to
construct the lane before summer, 1998.
All construction on this project will occur within the existing Right of
Way. There is no sensitive vegetation within the area of work or
nearby. The project will not increase the traffic volumes.
Previous similar roadway improvement projects have been
exempted per CEQA1530KO, and we request an exemption for this
project. Preliminary discussions with Mike Grim have indicated that
the exemption should be possible.
I am including an application for a Minor Coastal Development Permit
for the project. A Minor CDP is appropriate because the cost of the
improvements is less than $60,000, no other discretionary approvals
are required, and the project is consistent with the LCP.
Please keep me apprised of the status of these requests, as we would
like to complete this project before next summer.
