City supports preliminary plans to realign 1-mile section of old Highway 101 south of Palomar Airport Road
A one-mile stretch of old Highway 101 in southern Carlsbad would be realigned with three roundabouts under a preliminary proposal supported unanimously this week by the Carlsbad City Council.
Drivers slow but don’t stop at roundabouts, which keeps traffic moving and results in fewer fatalities and less serious injuries in collisions, he said. Roundabouts also reduce the noise and pollution caused by idling and accelerating vehicles. Most of the parking in the area will remain and some could be added. An existing lot nearest Palomar Airport Road would have access from the roundabout to be built there.
Some people, including Carlsbad resident and Beach Preservation Commission Chair Kathleen Steindlberger, suggested Tuesday that the city adopt a more aggressive “retreat now” approach by removing the old traffic lanes immediately. Only one person opposed the plan, saying roundabouts are “not a one-size-fits-all solution,” and that the city should “pump the brakes” before approving them.
Earlier this year, the Oceanside City Council approved plans to shrink a one-mile section of Coast Highway, its piece of old Highway 101, from four lanes to two and add roundabouts, bike lanes and mid-block pedestrian crossings.
