SAN DIEGO, CA 92128 Ccicyof Carlsbad SUBJECT: PRE 2023-0067 (DEV2023-0163) -PROPOSED CROSSWALK 1950 CVR RIGHT-OF-WAY (ADJACENT APNS: 212-092-24-00 & 212-093-12-00) Dear Arati Rangaswamy, Thank you for submitting a preliminary review application for pedestrian striping proposed in the public right-of-way and on private properties located at 1950 Camino Vida Robe ls and 5838 & 5858 Edison Place. The proposal generally involves the following: • Creation of a crosswalk within the Camino Vida Robles right-of-way; and • Creation. of a walkway from the existing Alphatec office building located at 1950 Camino Vida Robles to the crosswalk. • Creation of marked pedestrian path with the width of Edison Place, which is a private street/access easement. The path would link the 5838 & 5858 buildings to the crosswalk. In discussion with the project applicant, an alternative was also considered that would only connect the 5838 Edison Place building to the crosswalk by creating a new paved walkway through an existing landscaped area. This option would not impact or make changes to the private street/easement (Edison Place). Responses in italics below are in response to this project option.
