Well, scaredy, the price is never right. It seems that some Piggs may choose to “make a tradeoff for the sake of their family” to live in the path of of the likes of “Slaughterhouse Cyn” Rd. off SR-67, the junkyard capital in SD County of both American and Japanese vehicles, lol …. i.e. Lakeside, CA, or similarly situated … roll on, folks …
Caltrans insists that the corridor analysis address each issue and improvement separately. But not one of those issues or improvements studied speaks to the need for a center median anywhere on SR 67 other than a 1.5-mile stretch between Slaughterhouse Canyon and Scripps Poway Parkway. In June 2009, Caltrans completed a project study project/project development report that proposes to add one general-purpose lane in each director from Mapleview to Highland Valley Road/Dye Road.
Do Piggs actually realize that two elementary school children were killed crossing the street to their school back in the day by a young speeding motorist on SR-67?
The “Slaughterhouse exit” off SR 67 and surrounds are a sure deathtrap for motorists and pedestrians alike. The fwy was built thru a residential area in Lakeside, CA, which was never configured to accommodate those biz/schools which already existed. In other words, no “service road” existed at the time of the several fatalities in the vicinity that occurred (over and above the deaths of two schoolchildren) due to this (unrestricted) fwy going though.
This is just another classic example of “economic obsolesence,” folks, exacerbated by the new fwy in the presence of both (former) residential construction and (former) school construction.
Our local leaders have not generally been cognizant of the ramifications of their individual votes. Thus, the homebuying contingent who “settle” for incessant “freeway noise” because they “insist” on newer consruction in their price range generally get the bottom of the barrel in local home selection if they choose to buy it. Why?? There isn’t anything in that realm that is located in desirable land in SD County because it has long ago been spoken for.
