WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Carisbad has determined that complete and
livable streets are consistent with the goals of Envision Carisbad;
WHEREAS, improved pedestrian safety and access to the coast is a high priority; and
WHEREAS, there are five uncontrolled pedestrian crossings on Carisbad Boulevard
between Carisbad Village Drive and Tamarack Avenue that would benefit from pedestrian median
islands; and
WHEREAS, pedestrian median islands effectively reduce potential conflicts with
motorists and enhance the ability of pedestrians to cross the five lanes of Carisbad Boulevard;
and
WHEREAS, pedestrian median islands allow pedestrian to cross one direction of traffic
flow at a time to reduce the required gap in traffic flow for a pedestrian to cross Carlsbad
Boulevard; and
WHEREAS, the pedestrian median islands enhance the safety of pedestrians crossing
Carisbad Boulevard by providing a raised concrete median for refuge; and
WHEREAS, sufficient funds are available in CIP No. 6322 to enhance pedestrian access
across Carisbad Boulevard.
