Tonight! Our Way or The Highway or Another Way


In a spectacularly bad scheduling conflict (editor: for which I personally hold Jerome Stocks accountable), Caltrans is presenting at the Community Center, 1140 Oakcrest Park Drive from 6 pm - 8 pm; that is, during the same time frame as the City Council Meeting. 
"The meeting will provide additional information on lagoon studies that were not final during the circulation of the I-5 NCC Draft Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) in 2010." Patch 
The graphic at the opening is to frame this event based on reality.  It shows that across all ideologies and parties the preferred method to reduce traffic is first and foremost public trasit followed by driving less.

This week we got a good laugh out of those Danes - where we know the bicycle riding in Copenhagen is like no other western metropolis.  The clip below isn't about cycling, it's about public transit - riding the bus and it is like no US promotion we have ever seen.

Suggest turning down volume and turning on closed caption (CC at bottom of screen).


For video clips with community members speaking out about the I-5 widening, Stocks and company defending, obscuring and confusing the issues go to encinitasyouneedus YouTube channel where some of the clips for I-5 are grouped.
