Does Traffic Safety Mean Removing Crosswalks?

Posted on by

Don’t cross at Pine Avenue at Fountain, go find another. Sure, detour to 15th street? Kids are not going to do that.

The city is expected to hear a report from the traffic engineer who believes it was the right call to remove a crosswalk students would normally use.

He says it’s safer, but parents say otherwise.

Three crosswalks were previously consolidated into one crosswalk at Pine Avenue and 15th street, but there is debate that three is safer.

“They have to go way out of their way to cross at a safe spot and I know some middle schoolers aren’t going to do that,” Sally Jones a resident of Pacific Grove said. “It just makes sense to put it back the crosswalk.”

Big phony. Not the kind of character qualified to be Mayor.

It turns out the home she lives in, 333 Junipero, is owned by her husband’s parents, JAMES & KATHRYN ECKSTAEDT, property tax bill below. Her husband is Dave Eckstaedt, see link to his Facebook page below.

Property Tax for Junipero

Here’s the kicker, in her ebook (screenshot below), she describes in detail how she became a homeowner! Of course, that wasn’t enough, she finishes up with a lament about how she “stumbled back into white privilege.”

So, by her own account, Ybarra is caught red handed lying about her home ownership status, not to mention wallowing in white guilt when she claims to be a “woman of color.”

She stumbled into something alright…a toxic pile of virtue signaling B.S.

96-Year-Old Forest Hill Manor Tennant Gets To Stay

A lifetime deal is for the lifetime of the resident. See story from August.

Forest Hill Manor

Fourteen days after issuing the eviction notice, two Pacific Grove Senior Living officials informed Jean in person that “she would not be evicted and there would be paperwork coming to assure her of that fact,” according to friend Bob Sadler. In a letter to Jacques and other residents, Sanchez claimed that “there was never a decision to evict Ms. Jacques,” and that the Aug. 16 “three-day notice to pay or quit” from facility owner  Pacifica Senior Living was merely to inform the elderly resident that “it was now time to start seeking government subsidies to help her pay her expenses.”

DEI driven, no doubt.

“Realistically, there’s almost no way we can win” if the city is sued for refusing to change to district elections, councilwoman Lori McDonnell said.
Since 2022, the League of United Latin American Citizens has pushed P.G. to make the change to avoid violating the California Voting Rights Act, and on Aug. 23, the group sent a certified letter to the city formally requesting it go to district elections while also requesting it adopt a resolution to do so within 45 days and adopt an ordinance  establishing districts within 90 days.

One Person Debate For Mayor

Posted on by

So is there something fishy in the works? Are the other two candidates so sure of winning that the feel no need to attend? Ballot harvesting?

Vote Machine

Candidates forum at the Monarch Pines Resort in Pacific Grove Aug. 27 offered a  platform for three would-be mayors to express their views on a wide variety of topics  that impact the town — but only one, Dan Miller, showed up. Miller is running against Nick Smith and Dionne Ybarra. With about 50 people in the audience, Miller fielded
questions from Peggy Gibbs of Leadership Pacific Grove, which co-sponsored the event, and author and economist Francois Melese.
A lifelong resident of Pacific Grove, Miller served six years as a city councilmember and three years as a planning commissioner. He ran unsuccessfully for mayor against Bill Kampe in 2016. At the forum, he was asked why he’s running again. “I’m running for mayor because I wasn’t wild about the other two people who are running,” Miller said. “We have a dearth of good candidates.”

I’d expect nothing less than the normal cheating Jenny McAdams actions but to post signs more than 60 days before election day. Taken today, September 5. Sixty more days would be Monday November 4.

People on Nextdoor say it’s been up since at least Sunday September 1.
