Leucadia a ‘problematic area’ for illegal crossings

You may have seen the Encinitas Advocate story:
Leucadia a ‘problematic area’ for illegal railroad crossings
Excerpt:
There’s a legal crossing at Leucadia Boulevard, but it’s common to see people just north breaking the law by walking across the railway.
In hopes of cutting down on illegal crossings, North County Transit District (NCTD) recently identified north of Leucadia Boulevard as one of three focus spots.
“It’s proven to be a problematic area for us since we’ve had a heavy number of incidents there,” said Katie Whichard, NCTD’s public information officer.

Stray Observations:
 *If you are one of the many citizens who live along the Vulcan corridor and want to access the coast highway business and the beach you are naturally going to take the path of less resistance.

*Crossings the train tracks is the easy part if you are non-suicidal sober person, it's the 4 lane coast highway that is the dangerous part of the journey.

*Fun Fact; the handsome founder of the Leucadia Blog also owns the business pictured in the background of the photo in the EA story. He recommends a marked pedestrian crossing at Jasper St. But, nobody listens to deadbeat bloggers.
