for policing the Redevelopment area. Ms. Welty stated
she had requested copies of the six local coastal plans for the City of Carlsbad, but had only received two of
these and had been told the other four would be available at a later date. She presented a letter to

DEPARTMENTAL AND CITY MANAGER REPORTS: I
8. AB #9475 - RE-STRIPING A PORTION OF LA COSTA AVENUE
AND RESTRICTING PARKING.
City Engineer Lloyd Hubbs introduced this item and gave
the preliminary report, with Bob gohnson, Traffic
Engineer, continuing the report as contained in the
Agenda Bill. Transparencies were used to indicate the
five alternatives that had been considered in this
matter, and slides of the affected area of La Costa
Avenue were shown.
Sheldon Penn, 2426 La Costa Avenue, stated he owned a
lot at that address, and most of the people present
tonight live on that street and do not want it re-
striped. He stated if the people living there cannot
get out of their driveways, they cannot live there. He
recommended the striping be left as it is now or
Alternative #4 be adopted.
Andre Williams, 2408 La Costa Avenue, told of accidents
on La Costa Avenue between Rancho Santa Fe Road and El
Camino Real. He stated the reasons for the accidents
is the poor sight distance and the excessive speed.
Mr. Williams felt a continuous left-turn lane would
on1.y lead to higher speeds on the street, and no
parking would also tend to cause higher speeds.
Chuck Hodil, 3007 La Costa Avenue, representing Citizens
for a Safe La Costa Avenue, stated he was one of the
more than 200 people living along La Costa Avenue. He
felt the issue was one of safety, as the people living
in this particular area need a buffer zone to be able tc
have ingress and egress from their driveways, and the
parking lane provides that buffer. Mr. Hodil expressed
support for Alternative $14.
I
Peter Tracy, 2409C La Costa Avenue, a resident in the
condominiums on the south side of La Costa Avenue,
stated he saw no need for bike lanes, as they are used
for recreation and the residents along that area use the
road for getting to work. He requested a continuous left-turn lane be placed there to enable the 58 tenants
in their complex to make a left turn without fear of a
fatal accident.

DEPARTMENTAL AND CITY MANAGER REPORTS: (Continued)
3ohn Mosele, 2722 La Costa Avenue, stated his
opposition to a two-way turn lane, stating there were
no homes on the south side of the street. He referred
to photographs indicating there was very little parking
on the street--as that area is used as a buffer zone
for ingress and egress, due to the poor sight distance
problem. Mr. Mosele requested approval of Alternative
f4.
Robert Huntoon, 2320 "A" La Costa Avenue, representing
Alta Yerde Homeowners Association, stated he was the
person who wrote the first letter asking for a turn
pocket or some way to make a safe turn. The Homeowners
Association would support a left-turn lane first;
parking, second and a bike lane third. He also
commented on the excessive speed of traffic.
Bill Ryan, 3005 La Costa Avenue, told of the excessive
speed of vehicles and stated he had timed some vehicles
at speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour.
3oe Mitchell, 4660 Central Avenue #4, San Diego,
representing the San Diego Bicycle Coalition, asked
Council to consider the interests of the bicycle
riders. If the cyclists are forced to share the lanes
with vehicles, there is a higher risk for injury or
death to them. He stated the school children need the bike lanes to ride their bikes to school, and added
that bike lanes are needed both directions for safety.
Marylynn Brown-Bellman, 2638 Luciernaga, representing
Villa La Costa Association, stated she lived in the
condominiums nearest the shopping center, which were
the first condominiums on the street. At the time they
were built, the standard was only one parking space
per unit, which now makes parking very critical. She
favored Alternative #4, stating she would like a left-
turn lane, but not at the expense of the parking lane.
Stan Michaels, 24275 La Costa Avenue, representing De
Marbea Condo Complex as President of the Board, stated
there are 58 families living in those condos with no
way to turn left into the complex. He stated that
speed is the worst problem in that area, and added a
left-turn lane is necessary.
Sharon Grether, 2508 La Costa Avenue, representing her
parents, stated the need for a parking lane as a buffer
zone in order to exit and enter the driveway to their
h ome .
Dale Morrison, 3421 Ann Drive, spoke on behalf of the
bike commuters, stating he would use the street with or
without the stripina. He favored all alternatives that
included bike lanes.

DEPARTMENTAL AND CITY MANAGER REPORTS: (Continued)
Jim Comunale, 2712 La Costa Avenue, spoke in favor of
leaving the striping as it is, as without the buffer
area th.e service trucks would have to stop in the line
of traffic. He felt the long term problem is the
reduction of speed on the street. He suggested more
visual enforcement of the speed limit with signs
stating it is residential area and the speed law
strictly enforced. He felt the quality of life for
residents should be a prime consideration.
Mark Withero, 3015 La Costa Avenue, representing
Citizens for a safe La Costa Avenue, stated Mr. Huntoon
had requested a safe turn lane in the middle of the street, and he felt engineering had not considered the
200 families that must back out into the street. He
recommended leaving the bike lanes, as they tend to slow
the traffic, but also have a parkina lane for safety.
Mr. Withero stated that a continuous two-way lane keeps
traffic moving swiftly, and the traffic in that area is
already too swift. He felt there should be only two
through lanes.
I
Mr. Withero stated the parking lane should be the number
one priority for safety; second, a continuous turn lane
or bike lanes. He supported Alternative 84.
In answer to Council query regarding the possibility of
lowering the speed limit, Mr. Johnson explained the
method used to determine the critical speed and
difficulties in enforcement if speed limits are set lower.
Council discussion reflected the need to retain the
parking lane in front of the single-family residences;
and the desire to provide a pocket-turn lane in front
of the condominiums.
The City Manager stated that based on Council comments,
staff would return with striping proposals to include
Alternative 84 with left turn pockets; and one which
would eliminate the bike lanes.
Council continued this item to 3uly 5, 1988, for
additi.ona1 information concerning alternative striping.
RECESS :
Mayor Lewis declared a recess at 8:35 p.m., and Council
re-convened at 8:45 p.m., with all Members present.
