Monroe Street pool could get extensive renovation
Carlsbad voters will decide in November whether to spend up to $24 million to renovate and expand the Monroe Street Pool, which was built 38 years ago and was the city’s only municipal pool until the Alga Norte swim complex opened in 2013.
Hall suggested the ballot measure might be more likely to pass if at least one additional capital project was included. He proposed adding a new park, an idea he has long pursued for a strip of land between Carlsbad Boulevard and the beach, stretching more than two miles from the Terramar area to the Encinitas border.
Councilmember Teresa Acosta said she understands the reasoning for adding a second project, “but ... I don’t think we need another one” because there’s strong public support for the pool renovation. The county Registrar of Voters’ Office has estimated that participating in the November election will cost Carlsbad between $129,000 and $219,000, and that the single additional measure for the pool project will increase the city’s cost by $65,000 to $95,000.
