I find it interesting that Carmel Valley Residents who live south of the 56, as you perhaps do, are much more supportive of the project than those of us who live near the project, and who are contemplating the possibility of an additional unknown number of minutes per day idling in traffic. Some informed estimates add 10-15 additional minutes to access I-5 from Del Mar Heights Road at peak hours. This is not only a concern for our daily commutes and driving our kids to school, but for emergency services access for our neighborhoods, businesses and schools. I wish that the traffic can truly be mitigated with a $6M investment, but as someone pointed out at the recent meeting, if money could solve traffic problems, Manhattan would be traffic free. Unfortunately, unlike Manhattan, property values here will be negatively impacted by severe traffic; Trader Joe's and a bowling alley do not equal NYC.
