I'm sure you all are as tired of hearing about the mess on La Costa Avenue as I am of reiterating it. So I
will be brief.
There are scores people walking daily on La Costa Avenue (LCA) who are confronted with speeding and
distracted drivers. As a 45 year resident of LCA and long time walker, I am disappointed that the City will
not make necessary safety improvements to LCA.
We need speed cushions to slow down automobiles and a sidewalk to separate pedestrians from
cars and bicycles.
Please act before someone is seriously injured!

Re: 5-24-23 Budget Meeting Agenda Item for the public record re:
Urgent and Overdue Need for a pedestrian sidewalk on La Costa Avenue
For too long now there has been no safe way for residents to walk to the beach or
downtown Leucadia on La Costa Avenue.The community cannot wait any longer.
The city has been forcing the residents to walk on the road,and in the
road, with 35mph speeds where cars routinely drive 45mph. This is highly
dangerous, unsafe and a liability for our city. It’s also unfair that this is the only
east-west beach collector without a sidewalk in Encinitas!
With the city budget and CIP process now in motion, we would urge you to please
prioritize the public safety of the residents and Leucadia property taxpayers, who
urgently require this safe, south-side pedestrian sidewalk. A DG gravel sidewalk
caneasily be installed and is the most cost effective approach in the existing
and available public right of way.
Please act now.
Thank you,
Desiré & Chris Smith

Dear Council,
I googled impact of a car hitting a pedestrian at 30mph. As you can see the damage to the car is
extensive, now imagine the injury or possible death to a pedestrian walking along La Costa and
getting struck by a car.
Now imagine a car traveling 40-50mph on La Costa and hitting a pedestrian or cyclist. It would
most likely result in a fatality.
We need a raised pedestrian sidewalk to protect us from cars and bikes/e-bikes too. (And while
you’re at it, please consider lowering the speed limit and adding traffic calming devices).
Conclusion: read bottom note

Dear Mayor Kranz, Council, and City departments,
Today (Saturday) my husband and I walked our dog on La Costa Av heading to the 101 for breakfast. Several times
we noticed not only drivers running the stop sign at Vulcan, speeding, but even more unsettling are the drivers that
were looking at what we presume was their phone while increasing speed and hugging the bends into the Bike
Lane. Luckily we have become increasingly aware that we have to pay attention walking on La Costa in case we
need to jump out of the way of the car. Is this what pedestrian on Santa Fe, Birmingham, Leucadia Blvd, Encinitas
Av need to do? The answer is “No” because they all have a raised sidewalks!
Please approve the budget for a raised sidewalk on La Costa Av so that we are privy to the same Safety benefits.
Thank you,
Desiré Smith

My wife and I have written to all of you over many years regarding the ever-worsening
safety situation along La Costa Ave. (LCA) between the I-5 and the 101. As daily
pedestrians and residents living in a small cul-de-sac off of LCA, we are in desperate
need of a south-side sidewalk AND additional traffic calming investments -- simply
put, the electronic speed monitoring devices are ignored by many drivers.
We implore you to dedicate in your '23-'24 budget the resources necessary to install
a south-side concrete sidewalk (like all of the City's other major east/west roads)
and speed cushions and approve the reduction of the speed limit from 35 to 30
mph.
After so many years, we now have high hopes that the City will finally make the
necessary safety investments to complement the various major high-density
housing/hotel developments you have approved in this very small corner of Leucadia!
Thank you,

Hello all.
As many neighbors (and my husband and I) have said/written for decades now, LCA
must be made safer for everybody! This is most especially true for pedestrians and
bicyclists who do not have the luxury of metal protecting them, only the ever-rising
anxiety of actually trying to move on LCA safely, avoiding speeding and distracted
drivers. This is a repeat of so many messages we all have sent, but, PLEASE, the
time is now (before serious accidents) to pay attention to LCA! This is about life-
changing or life-ending events for your residents (never mind the litigious activities
which would make your budgetary matters much worse).
NOW you can make LCA safer: put in safety cushions and lower the speed limit to 25
mph or 30 mph and in the very near future, start planning for a real sidewalk! I just
met new neighbors with teenagers who I'm sure look forward to walking to the beach
from their new home, but if I were their mother, I'd have a hard time allowing that. It is
just too crazily unsafe!!!!
Thank you for reading this and I sincerely hope you institute serious changes towards
making LCA safe!
Sincerely,
Meg Norton

Re: 5-24-23 Budget Meeting Agenda Item for the public record re:
Urgent and Overdue Need for a pedestrian sidewalk on La Costa Avenue
My husband and I bought our house in 2017. Over the past years, we have seen a tremendous increase
of traffic on La Costa Avenue. Without a proper side walk, it is very dangerous for our family to walk
downtown Leucadia or to the beach. Cars constantly speed up on this road and do not respect the speed
limit.
With the city budget and CIP process now in motion, we all would urge you to please prioritize the
public safety of the residents and Leucadia property taxpayers, who require this safe, south-side
pedestrian sidewalk. A DG gravel sidewalk can easily be installed and is the most cost effective
approach in the existing and available public right of way.

Re: 5-24-23 Budget Meeting Agenda Item for the public record re:
Need for a pedestrian sidewalk on La Costa Avenue
We are very frustrated that the city continues to neglect safety for La Costa Avenue by not having a
sidewalk. In order to get along the east-west strip of La Costa Avenue, one must walk in the street or bike
lane, alongside cars and bikes, creating a dangerous situation for all. As members of this beautiful beach
community, we want to be able to walk to the 101 or the beach without risking life and limb.
Here is a (unposed) photo taken from my car on May 20, 2023, which illustrates how pedestrians are
currently forced to navigate the busy La Costa Avenue.
Could you please prioritize the building of a simple sidewalk to help pedestrians navigate this busy
street safely?

Re: May 24, 2023 Budget Meeting Agenda Item—Pedestrian Sidewalk on La Costa Avenue
To whom it may concern,
We have been Leucadia residents since 1993. We have owned our home at the above
address for nearly 26 years. We are very active people who walk and cycle La Costa to
Highway 101. Now that fencing has been placed along the railroad tracks to prevent
pedestrian crossing, it has forced us to walk via La Costa to go to Leucadia businesses or
the beach, which is much more dangerous than accessing them via less-traveled streets
and then crossing the railroad tracks.
In order to increase safety, a raised sidewalk is imperative on the south side of La Costa—
the only side with room for one. I prefer to walk opposite traffic so I can see if cars cross
into the bike lane and might hit me in the pedestrian lane. The lanes are narrow on La
Costa, and people often cross into the bike and pedestrian lanes! It’s very dangerous! My
understanding is La Costa Avenue is the only main beach-access street west of I-5 in
Encinitas without a sidewalk. We desperately need one as well as more enforcement of the
35-mph speed limits which are exceeded very often and provide additional danger. We
urge you to prioritize public safety in regard to this matter as you’re assessing the city
budget.
Sincerely,
Greg and Lori Lyle

Hello Mayor Kranz and City Council,
Thank you for establishing a budget priority of $311,000 for a DG gravel
sidewalk/path on the south side of La Costa Avenue from Vulcan to the east (as
close to the I-5 as possible), minimum Seabreeze Court.
This item may cost more than the $311K being allocated. I would like to
suggest that not only you approve this amount, but more in fact. Perhaps you
can do some fishing for additional monies from either the unspent “Quick
Start” bucket of funds or past year unspent CIP dollars in order to get this
project built as fast as possible, in 2023. This long overdue missing sidewalk
needs full funding.
The residents in Leucadia lives have been at severe risk walking in the street
with speeding cars and no sidewalk for too long. All the new development
projects fuel the urgent need for this sidewalk yet further.
Thank you for approving this key public safety infrastructure improvement.
Elena Thompson

Dear Mayor Kranz, Council Members, and Ms. Antil,
I am so thrilled to see that CIP budget is proposing to fund the design of two At-
Grade Crossing for North West Leucadia. Safe pedestrian rail crossings are
desperately need in Leucadia- thank you so much! Let's keep this project on the fast
track.
I am also pleased that monies are being allocated for the design of a path along La
Costa Ave., this is great news. But the budget states that there is not enough money
for a path along both La Costa and Vulcan Ave., and that "staff will bring options
related to Vulcan ped path separately to the City Council". This is troubling to me.
Both La Costa and Vulcan Ave. desperately need safe mobility, please consider
funding the design and construction of both of the pedestrian paths not just one or
the other. I live on Hermes, and walk along Vulcan regularly. Vulcan needs to be
addressed ASAP as it is unsafe. There are many low income residents that live along
Vulcan and walking is their only mode of transportation, please prioritize this
improvement.

Dear Mayor Kranz and City Council Members,
It is great news that the CIP budget is proposing to fund the design of two at-grade crossings
for northwest Leucadia. We have long awaited safe pedestrian rail crossings.
While I am pleased that money is being allocated for the design of a path along La Costa
Ave., it is disappointing none is being allocated at this time for a path along Vulcan Ave. I
remain hopeful that staff will bring a viable option for Vulcan Avenue soon, and urge that this
be done sooner rather than later.

Hi Jill,
Hope you are doing well. Just wanted to follow up on my email (below)
regarding the FTE Mobility Manager position and why it is listed in the
Parks and Rec Dept. Any information you can provide me is appreciated.
I also want to inquire about the FY 2023-24 Annual Overlay and Slurry list
that is on the Consent Calendar for tonight's council meeting (8-J).
I noticed that some sections of Glen Arbor and N. Willowspring are
scheduled for Slurry Seal. When that is done, is the travel lane going to be
narrowed to 10 feet? I believe it is city policy to only change striping when
either a Slurry Seal or Overlay is done. I hope the travel lanes will be
narrowed and the bike lane either is widened or gets a buffer.
Thanks. Take care and be safe.

Subject: Infrastructure Task Force - FY 2023-24 Requests-Personnel
Hi Jill,
I noticed on page 46 of the Infrastructure Task Force meeting notice a line
item requesting a new FTE position for a Mobility Manager.
I believe it is a needed position for sure and long overdue. I hope it is
approved and implemented.
The question I have is why is the position under the Park Rec Arts
department? Seems like a better fit for Development Services and
Engineering. Wherever the position is located on an organizational chart it
has to be able to work across "silos" and all departments.
Thanks. Take care and be safe.
