I have been working on this project to over 30 years. As a village business owner, real estate broker, Carlsbad Village Business Association member, board member and officer I worked with city staff and Council Member for so long that I retired before the bureaucracy made much of a move. I made a deal with the late Bud Lewis that I would work with the Carlsbad Village Business Association to improve their cooperation with the City and Make a plan to improve their financial capability so they could takeover Carlsbad Village management and maintenance in a fashion identical many other downtown Mainstreet associations. The GRAND PROMENADE is the first and critical component of that City/Mainstreet Partnership. Closing half of a d~ad end, oversize street allows for improved open space, better, safer, and more attractive pedestrian mobility and so much more. A return to twice weekly far more profitable Farmers Markets and other events, without closing streets, safer beach access for our youngest residents and their families and retention of that quaint village feel as tall buildings become more common. That open space is needed as the Village and Barrio density has been increased and will eventually be fulfilled with more residents but with no corresponding places to relax, look up or play. Just placing the GRAND PROMENADE in a Master Plan manual just makes it scribble on some paper without a majority of you instructing staff to move it forward. The GRAND PROMENADE was a goal before we wrote the VILLAGE AND BARRIO MASTER PLAN and is a vital early component to fund and demonstrate the livability of the plan the city is planning on implementing. Please move the GRAND PROMENADE forward today! Happy to do an in depth question and answer session on the GRAND PROMENADE and any other Village Area components brought forward by Imagine Carlsbad.
