Why are coastal cities like Solana Beach and Encinitas going backwards and reducing lanes on 101 and city streets instead of widening them and timing traffic lights better? It’s difficult to get around the congested costal cities with their pot hole ridden and bumpy streets and numerous poorly timed traffic lights. Unless you have a hybrid, your fuel economy is low and very costly especially with high fuel prices, due to long idle times and outputting more emissions. Why not alleviate this by adding traffic lanes/widening streets? Not everyone has a hybrid vehicle or a bicycle. It’s ironic that city leaders tout big brother like environmental responsibility when more residents of coastal North County voted for the Libertarian candidate for President than the Green party candidate in 2012.
