ITEM EXPLANATION;
Construction for the improvements to Carlsbad Boulevard
is underway. This project involves the construction of
four (4) travel lanes, raised landscaped median, curbs,
gutters and sidewalks, bicycle lanes, parking for two
hundred thirty (230) vehicles along the west side of
Carlsbad Boulevard, significant drainage improvements,
and extension of the storm drain system from the Agua
Hedionda bridge south to the Manzano Drive. Construction
began April 3, 1989 and is expected to be completed by
the end of October. Cost of the project is approximately
2.2 million, (see attached Agenda Bill #9931).
Additional plans for the re-alignment of Carlsbad
Boulevard are currently being considered from Manzano
Drive to La Costa Avenue. Although still in the very
preliminary stages, if the re-alignment does become a
reality, it is anticipated that excess land may be
created for recreational purposes. The City is currently
in contact with the State of California in an attempt to
make this planning effort a joint venture as it relates
to the developed plans for South Carlsbad State Beach.
