BG, FYI, they’ll be expanding Carroll Canyon to be another east/west feeder street with 3 lanes each side. So, I’m not worry about the 5000 people clogging up surface street. The way this development is placed, it would be a lot more convenient for those people to take Carroll Canyon or Miramar Rd. to go east or west to the freeway. So, it’s not going to add much traffic to MM Blvd. They’re also adding a DAR to Carroll Canyon to the 805 as well as realigning the on/off ramps. So, traffic around the 805 on/off ramp during traffic hours should be improved once they’re done. Again, I put a little more trust in the city planners as they approve projects, I’m sure they’ve done plenty of traffic study and they’ve planned for additional traffic. Also, they’re talking about extending the trolly along Carroll Canyon in the medium term to also help reduce congestion. Trolly will go through UTC and onto downtown.
Unlike you, I’m not afraid of increase density, as long as they’re keeping the SFR and condo area well defined and I don’t get a condo popping up next door to me where it’s currently a SFR. I’m actually looking forward to the increase density. Not only will they have more retail/restaurants for me to go to, there will be more money to improve various parks throughout Mira Mesa. It’s a win-win in my book.
