Planners Looking At Road Expansion

right down the street from my house. You can bet your pants I’ll be at the meetings, opposed to this!
Oceanside planners were challenged at a Monday public hearing to come up with a way to ease traffic congestion without funneling traffic through residential neighborhoods as they prepare a long-range transportation plan.
“Oceanside is going to continue to grow,” said Jim Downs, a 70-year resident of Oceanside, adding that the city must “develop a plan that distributes traffic all over town.”
Downs said he was concerned that the plan for future roads, what planners call a circulation element to the general plan that guides future development, was being overly influenced by “neighborhood politics.”
But several people who live near Rancho Del Oro Road said they were equally worried that a dormant plan to build a freeway interchange at Highway 78 and Rancho Del Oro Road could be resurrected, funneling freeway traffic through their community.
