Description
A major change is in the works for a section of Highway 101 in Carlsbad, also known as Carlsbad Boulevard. The Carlsbad City Council is discussing plans to move the roadway to inland as sea levels rise.
Coastal erosion is posing a threat to Carlsbad Boulevard. Residents said waves are known to crash onto some areas of the road during high tide.
The city is considering rerouting the road from Manzano Drive to Island Way. Right now a median separates the north and southbound lanes. The new project would put the lanes next to each other along with cycling and pedestrian pathways.
"This attempt to narrow down lanes to one car, it makes walkers and bikers on the same roadway. It's problematic," said a resident during Tuesday's city council meeting.
