One Way Lighthouse Avenue Is A Commie Plot

Delays

The preferred alternative remains a one-way, eastbound Lighthouse with two general traffic lanes and one lane dedicated to bicycles, buses and emergency vehicles.

City traffic engineer Rich Deal contends that controlling traffic speeds on city streets is easier with one-way traffic than with two-way, and cited Alvarado Street in downtown Monterey as an example.

But Alvarado street is not a main road into Pacific Grove. Reducing four lanes to two will not help ease traffic.

This is beginning to sound like a “Sustainable City” scheme, much like to stupid idea to reduce Pine Avenue to two traffic lanes in P.G. with exaggerated bicycle lanes no one needs. Until they take your freedoms away.

CPR learned 25 years ago comes back.

While tonight is a great gift to the military community, Sal’s present to one family this Thanksgiving is truly heroic. On Saturday a man at his bar had a heart attack, “It was kind of an unusual situation. The son had just found the dad after 26 years. They stopped in here to shoot a game of pool. He passed out the son was just frozen. I took over picked him up and put him on the bench and resuscitate him he looked up and smiled, a great Thanksgiving,” said Carbone.

Carbon Monoxide Kills Two In Monterey

If you have gas appliances of any kind, a carbon monoxide detector is a must. You can find one at Ace Hardware.

Firefighters were sent to a Monterey home in the 700 block of Lottie Street at 9:17 a.m. Monday on reports of two people who were unresponsive.

When firefighters arrived, they determined that there were high levels of carbon monoxide in the apartment.

The causes of death were determined to be accidental.

Deputies said a wall-mounted gas heater appears to have played a role in their deaths.

One Way Lighthouse Ave Is Not My Way

Lighthouse Ave Traffic

Ever get the feeling that these traffic experts ride the bus all the time? Kind of like having priests counsel on marriage. Dedicating traffic lanes to buses will not reduce anything when no one rides them. Take out some sidewalks that are always empty to make more room on the narrow avenue or make the buses use Foam or Hawthorne. Or make Holman Highway 4 lanes all the way.

Making Lighthouse Avenue one-way through New Monterey remains the preferred model for easing vehicle traffic on the crowded city street, improving safety and making it more bus and pedestrian friendly, according to city planners.

Monterey traffic engineer Rich Deal, senior planner Kimberly Cole and principal planner Elizabeth Caraker met residents and business owners Wednesday to hear their comments on the proposed Lighthouse Area Specific Plan. Another workshop is at 5p.m. Nov. 30 at the city’s Hilltop Park Center.

The one-way model, Deal said, would allow improved traffic flow toward Monterey and could include a dedicated bus lane that would speed up bus service by reducing the time needed for curbside stops.

Dope Hope? Um, Nope

No Pot Club

The council initially approved the moratorium at its Jan. 19 meeting for a 45-day period in response to the opening of a medical marijuana club, MyCaregiver Inc., at 554 Lighthouse Ave.

Other factors included uncertainty about federal and state laws, lack of specific mention of such facilities in Monterey’s municipal code, and increases in crime in cities where the dispensaries are permitted, particularly burglaries,robberies and illegal sales related to marijuana transactions.
