During its June meeting the La Jolla Town Council (LJTC) heard a presentation on $6.5 billion in planned North County transportation improvements to occur in phases sands casino hotel atlantic city during the next 40 years — as well as the closer-at-hand expansion of the San Diego trolley line to east La Jolla, UTC and the UC San Diego campus.
Caltrans Interstate 5 Corridor Director Allan Kosup told LJTC trustees the 27-mile North Coast Corridor project, spanning from La Jolla north to Oceanside, will include highway, rail, bike and pedestrian sands casino hotel atlantic city improvements, as well as $200 million for restoration of lagoons and designation of natural habitat. Between the freeway and rail system, 700,000 people currently travel the North Coast Corridor each day, he said.
"When those trains come to the single-lane portions, one of them sits on the side while the other one goes through and that really constrains the amount of capacity we could put on that rail line," Kosup said.
In addition, four high-occupancy express lanes will be added to the middle sands casino hotel atlantic city of Interstate 5 in North County, which Kosup said will require additional land for the addition of retaining walls in certain spots.
Asked whether that acquisition of space would involve sands casino hotel atlantic city eminent domain, Kosup said about 40-50 residences will need to be relocated. sands casino hotel atlantic city "The rest might be just partial acquisitions or encroachments," he said. "We go through a very fair process. We pay fair market value, and we have a relocation program."
Caltrans sands casino hotel atlantic city will seek a special coastal development permit from the California Coastal Commission next year to cover the project for the next 40 years, with assurances with each phase of the work conforms to the original plans.
"That was important, because we don't want to start building things and then not be able to finish them." Kosup said. "From the Coastal Commission's sands casino hotel atlantic city standpoint, they want assurances that we live up to our promises."
Six trolley stops are planned near La Jolla as part of the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit sands casino hotel atlantic city Project light rail expansion, including: Nobel Drive at La Jolla Village Square shopping center; the Veterans Administration Medical Center at 3550 La Jolla Village Drive; sands casino hotel atlantic city Pepper Canyon (UCSD west campus); Voigt Drive (adjacent Scripps Memorial Hospital); sands casino hotel atlantic city Executive Drive and Genesee Avenue; and Westfield UTC mall.
La Jolla Parks Beaches board president Dan Allen said the La Jolla Community Plan calls for transportation sands casino hotel atlantic city to get La Jollans from the Village to trolley stations along I-5, though he said there he hasn't seen such a provision in current Mid-Coast plans.
and then finally will reach the trolley. sands casino hotel atlantic city Then, when it gets there the nearest stop will have a 1,000-foot walk (to the trolley station). … It sounds like we're not going to be served at all well by this project."
Jim Linthicum, director of mobility for the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) told the La Jolla Light parking sands casino hotel atlantic city would be provided for La Jolla trolley riders at the La Jolla Village Square and Westfield stations — details he said SANDAG is currently negotiating with the operators of both shopping centers.
"These are the types of details we're going to be working out as we go through the environmental process and into final design," he said. (The public comment period on the project's draft environmental impact report closes July 17. The report can be read at sandag.org/midcoast).

"She is now in rehab and wants to join us and dance if she can," Gardner said. "She just got her first (prosthesis), which is a little bit of a rough recovery, but assuming that she will have recovered by October, she will be part of our show. I think she was on Anderson Cooper's show and there's a possibility sands casino hotel atlantic city he'll be coming as well." (The CNN anchor's uncle, sands casino hotel atlantic city Harry Cooper, is a La Jolla resident).
Also confirmed to dance in the competition are Mayor Bob Filner and City Councilmember sands casino hotel atlantic city Kevin Faulconer. choreographer Mary Murphy of TV's "So You Think You Can Dance" will emcee and Assistant Chief of Police Shelly Zimmerman will serve as a judge.
La Jolla's Coastal Access and Parking Board is seeking input on how to spend roughly $400,000 in development fees to improve parking and ease traffic congestion in the Village. Parking Board member and LJTC trustee Michael Dershowitz suggested a bicycle program like Citi Bike, New York City's new bike share program. "I encourage you all to come up with your own ideas … and I'll submit those," he said. To submit sands casino hotel atlantic city ideas, e-mail Dershowitz at mdershowitz@san.rr.com
"Reviews by the city are considered sands casino hotel atlantic city to be ministerial in many instances, sands casino hotel atlantic city which are basically just a remodeling of what was there before, and are not being referred to the PDO for our own review," he said. "What that means is that we often disagree after the fact with what the city had approved in La Jolla. … Certainly, that's not the best way to have to proceed."
However, Dershowitz said PDO members are pleased with a new program initiated by the city that uses trained volunteers to assist with code compliance — a program the PDO hopes to be involved with, he said.
