Traffic studies show LOS E for the Calera Parkway project area. Sweetness.
ReplyDelete20 minutes to get from Linda Mar to Fairway Park two days in a row
ReplyDeleteLOS F, unacceptable when we have an "economy". 3 feeder roads into the 1.3 mile highway 1 bottleneck. Why are we talking about this again, and on the 11/21 Planning Commission meeting agenda article, which includes the proposed Assisted Living facility, and AT&T cell antennas?
ReplyDeleteGuess your Irish genes just wanted to cause a "dust up" this morning, Todd (934), but good to see you posting comments anyhow.
Do I understand this correctly. We have too much traffic impact for the assisted living project, but not enough to warrant fixing the highway?!
ReplyDeleteremember: todd is the traffic. Make him take the bus!
ReplyDeleteKathy, even Caltrans has had to show through it's most recent studies the CP project area LOS is now at E with or without the Oddsted project. I think that is sweet.
ReplyDeleteTodd, even the existing city council, with exception of Sue Digre, has more vision than that. What is your vision for this city?
ReplyDeleteThe time for fixing the problem (and there clearly is one) is now while traffic is lighter. Employment has been way-off for at least 3 lagging years. And in Pacifica without a balanced city economy we drive for work and services, as do those living south of us on the coast.
CA unemployment is currently 11.9%, and in San Mateo County 8.3%. For under-employment, at least double that.
Kathy, we will never agree on this issue. Lets leave it at that

Just a reminder that the hearing on the Assisted Living Center is on Monday night starting at 7:00 P.M.
ReplyDeleteKeep your canes crossed on this one.
ReplyDeleteIn a very long meeting adjourning at 11:50 PM, the Planning Commission approved the assisted living center project on Oddstad Blvd. and has sent it on to Council for their deliberation and action. Five of seven commissioners in attendance.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Planning Commissions, the 4-1 vote tonight (11/21) will move the 96 unit Assisted Living project forward to City Council. Comments were thoughtful, efficient and the Commission worked together well with the applicant's consultants. The best part, there were no unnecessary delay hang-ups.
ReplyDeleteCommissioner Leon voted against the project because he wanted the smaller "B" footprint, with 18 fewer units and more outside distance from the creek. Commissioner Langille was not present at the meeting.
Protection of the creek and Steelhead trout was a large part of the discussion. I liked Chair Campbell's comments about preserving the creek with modern solutions, not armor. Vice Chair Gordon, Commissioner Evans and Director White moved the process toward the vote. Commissioner Clifford offered some important design comments. Commissioner Leon considered many environmental details, which were discussed with the consultant, it seems he would have preferred to continue the Commission's decision to future meetings.
Most members of the public who spoke made good supportive points. And, its great to see the Chamber represented at these important meetings and on the blogs as well. (Courtney Conlon, CEO, Chris Porter, President).
In the spirit of "sure build it, but just not here", one out-of-towner said "build it on the highway", where the quarry? And, as Tea Party Anon might say "what about the property rights of this owner/developer?"
I predict NIMBYs will show up in force at Council meetings to oppose the Assisted Living project. The Council will then send it back to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission will then send it back to Council. The Council will then send it back to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission will send it back to Council. The Council will send it back to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission will send it back to Council. The Council will send it back to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission will send it back to Council. The Council will send it back to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission will send it back to Council. The Council will send it back to the Planning Commission. A huge asteroid will hit the earth, and it won't matter anymore.
