Scripps to conduct Carlsbad Blvd. realignment study

CARLSBAD — The city is preparing for sea-level rise by partnering with a prominent local research organization to perform a realignment study on a portion of Carlsbad Boulevard to help mitigate any future structural damage due to climate change. The Carlsbad City

Council approved a $498,075 grant during its Sept. 14 meeting from the California State Coastal Conservancy for Scripps Institute of Oceanography to conduct studies on sea-level rise and how to move the road’s southbound lane eastward, away from the ocean, between Palomar Airport Road and Island Way. The city will begin its public outreach to residents and businesses in January. The South Carlsbad Boulevard Climate Adaptation Project marks the first

major review of the city's infrastructure in relation to sea-level rise, according to Mike Grim, the city’s senior program manager. (Grim retired on Oct. 14 after speaking with The Coast News.) The study is expected to take about 16 months and return to the council in Feb. 2023, according to Grim. “It’s doing a little more detailed analysis of bluff erosion and flooding impacts would be due to sea-level rise or extreme storms,” Grim said. “And

TURN TO STUDY ON A5

EVERY DAY TILL 6PM

ENCINITAS — After several hours of public testimony, largely from residents strongly opposed to a 277-unit apartment complex known as the Goodson Project in Olivenhain, the Encinitas City Council voted unanimously during its Oct. 13 meeting to postpone its decision on RANCHO the development until next month. SFNEWS The council plans to make its final decision on Nov. 10. The project was denied by the city’s Planning Commission in August but two appeals were filed after the decision by the applicant, developer Randy Goodson, and Encinitas Residents for Responsible Development, a local organization opposing the project. The agenda item at Wednesday's meeting, the first in-person meeting since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, drew a large crowd of concerned residents, many of whom wore stickers on their clothes telling the city, “Do not block the fire exit.” Many of the concerns from residents had to do with fire safety issues as the project would include a large parking garage that they believe could lead to issues should a wildfire evacuation be required.
