Getting Spiffy

I gotta say, the poor infrastructure of Leucadia Blvd and Hwy 101 has been a main theme of this blog since the start. It's crazy to see all this work happening.
Happy!

Nice. Please show a picture of the much needed walkway on the south side of Leucadia boulevard between Vulcan and HW101. That is going to be a huge improvement!

They are just going nuts with that. The seem to be blowing out the entire thing!

Which is good, because it all needs to be replaced.

It's going to look great, especially with some landscaping! I'm happy this is finally happening.

Any word on what's next on the Leucadia improvement tour? Seems like the city is moving pretty slow...but at least they're making progress.

About Leucadia

Leucadia is a funky little beach community located in North San Diego county in southern California. Leucadia is the north section of the city of Encinitas.

English spiritualists settled the small coastal community of Leucadia in 1870, and are reputed to have danced, in diaphanous white robes in the little Roadside Park (Leucadia Blvd and Hwy 101).

The spiritualists are the reason so many of the streets are named after Greek gods and goddesses. Leucadia is Greek for "a sheltered place." Heritage Eucalyptus trees, planted in the 1880s, still grace the highway. When President Roosevelt passed through Leucadia in an open car during the Depression, local children climbed the Eucalyptus trees to wave to him.

Change happens slowly in this nostalgic little California beach town. In lieu of fast food restaurants and franchise chain stores, Leucadia has two miles of Mom 'n Pop businesses, and that's the way everyone likes it. The town war cry is "Keep Leucadia Funky."

Leucadia played an active role in the rebirth of the classic Highway 101 shield, restored in 1997, and was part of the successful 101 Campaign to have Highway 101 declared an historic route.

Leucadia is experiencing growing pains and culture clash in these first decades of the 21st century...
