Lighthouse Avenue Delays Continue

Posted on by

Street is getting a slurry coating, that cheap way to cover the patchwork of repairs. Bumps in the road remain and it lasts about 2 years.

S is For Slurry

The City of Monterey says people should expect delays on Lighthouse from May 6 to May 9 as major roadwork is scheduled to begin.

Work on the northbound lanes of Lighthouse toward Pacific Grove will start at 6 a.m. and go until 5 p.m.. Northbound lanes toward Downtown Monterey will begin at 9 a.m. and go through 5 p.m.

The city says this is for slurry seal work to be done, which is applied in order to protect the underlying pavement.

Burglar

Tourist destinations like Pacific Grove are prime burglary targets. Criminals need a place to vacation to, and maybe catch up on some work while here. Don’t be a Bay Area fool, lock doors and windows. Don’t leave anything valuable in your car.

“We moved from the Bay Area to kind of avoid the crime and to see it kind of ticking up here is very disconcerting,” said Francie Soito who lives in Pacific Grove.

The alarming amount of car theft and break-ins is driving them to take extra safety measures, such as leaving their porch lights on.

Parklet problems continue in Pacific Grove. The city is pushing back discussions to next week on the future of three parklets on a busy road in Pacific Grove. The main reason for the changes is safety.

“Safety wins over seating,” said Frank Syster who lives in Pacific Grove.

“I think it’s great to have a pedestrian-oriented city, and I think this just makes us more pedestrian, which is great,” said Dea Greenwalt who lives in Pacific Grove.

Councilmember members Chaps Poduri and Tina Rau are arguing in favor of approving Measure M. They believe Pacific Grove is missing out on a source of revenue when people from Pacific Grove drive to dispensaries across the Peninsula. They estimate that having a cannabis business within city limits could bring in $300,000 annually.

Tina Rau is NOT a councilmember and never should be. Taxing aquarium admissions was estimated to bring in more than twice that.

And on the no tokin’ in the Grove side

people like Kevin Hanley believe the city has a lot to lose . . . if you visit towns with the pot shops, you find a lot of blight around them.

Not seeing it. Visit Marina for local examples. Give me another reason Kevin.
