are very few — if any — cities in the region that are pleased with the housing allocation they received for the upcoming housing element cycle, according to San Diego Association of Regional Governments (SANDAG) Executive Director Hasan Ikhrata. RANCHO And Del Mar — the SFNEWS smallest city in the county — is certainly no exception. Faced with the reality of the housing crisis, the state of California allocated about 171,000 housing units to San Diego County for the 20212029 housing cycle — to be split among the region’s 19 jurisdictions. In Del Mar, the allocation of 163 units has prompted a mounting discussion over how exactly to accommodate the units by 2029 in a nearly built-out city, with ever-climbing property values. The number is well over double what the city was allocated for its current cycle. The process has also revealed an apparent rift in the council and community at large. During a Sept. 30 City Council discussion, residents split over whether to fight the “bad data” used to formulate the final allocation, or to accept the

Encinitas approves buffered bike lanes on SCH 101 By Tawny McCray

ENCINITAS — A plan to widen bike lanes and narrow travel lanes along South Coast Highway 101 to make it safer for cyclists was recently approved in Encinitas. The plan includes a buffer zone to separate the bike lane from traffic, along the stretch of road between Chesterfield

Drive and the start of Solana Beach. The $500,000 project is designed to better connect Solana Beach and the Cardiff rail trail, and future bicycle facilities to be built with the Leucadia Streetscape project. The plan is meant to encourage more residents to use their bicycles instead of their cars, which

would also thereby reduce emissions. The project was approved at the Sept. 25 City Council meeting. More than 30 speakers spoke at the meeting, some, the more casual bike riders, said they were in support of the plan as is, others, the more experienced sport cyclists, said the protected bike lanes

would be confining and they wanted sharrows and signage added. Linda Webb, an avid bike rider for more than 50 years who rides up to 10,000 miles a year, noted flaws in the plan that she said must be addressed and urged the council to vote no. “Currently there are runners, pedestrians,
