Encinitas Citizens Initiative Project
Community Workshop Invitation
Community Workshop Invitation
The Encinitas Citizens Initiative Project is seeking the community’s help.
The Encinitas Project was formed to develop public policy solutions to difficult issues facing the city, which have been marginalized by the Encinitas City Council. While the Council makes progress on safe issues, we will tackle the big issues ignored by our Council by putting them on the ballot. To be successful, the Project plans to focus on a set of issues and solutions that are recognized and supported by a vast cross section of Encinitas residents.

ReplyDeleteToday I spoke with Ron Blough, and Chrisy Villa, traffic engineers. Ron said in our conversation about fixing the 101 north of Encinitas Blvd., "the poor condition slows traffic; if we do an overlay of the coast highway they will drive faster."

One way to fight the EE (the evil empire is incompetent and selfish government and corporations)is plan a large turnout to pave a path to connect 101 and Vulcan, put up a temporary at grade rail-road crossing. Civil demands and citizens govern and the future !
