"Other Streets To Get Around The Hospital" - Respect For The Spirit Of Sunshine II
Once again, the Escondido City Council is having a closed session conference with its real property negotiators on the price and terms of payment for two small streets segments around Palomar Medical Center. This item (II.b.) is on today's agenda:
CONFERENCE WITH REAL PROPERTY NEGOTIATOR (Gov. Code ยง54956.8)
Property: Valley Boulevard between Grand Avenue and Valley Parkway and certain portions of Pennsylvania Avenue between Valley Parkway and Elm
Agency Negotiator: Clay Phillips and Jeffrey Epp
Negotiating parties: City of Escondido and the Palomar Health District
Under negotiation: Price and terms of payment

(Someday someone at the City will realize that they are negotiating with the Palomar Pomerado Health district!)
This same item was on the agendas of January 11, 2006, December 21, 2005, December 14, 2005, December 7, 2005, November 16, 2005, and September 14, 2005. This item has now been on the agenda for seven (7) meetings!
I have noted that during this time, the following important topic has not been on the agenda for Council discussion: Traffic effects of closing Valley Boulevard between Grand Avenue and Valley Parkway. It now appears that public discussion of the traffic effects was unnecessary!
As reported in the North County Times: [City Manager] Clay "Phillips said that city officials do not see the loss of Valley Boulevard as a potential problem because drivers can use other streets to get around the hospital."

A traffic hint: After Valley Bouldvard is closed, as you are sitting in a two-block traffic backup on Grand heading east to the light at Ash on your way to Valley Center, try this! Turn right on Cedar. Turn left on 4th. Turn right on Ash. Turn left on Oak Hill. Turn left on Bear Valley. Follow Bear Valley until it merges with East Valley Parkway. Cool! You just saved two (2) minutes. These "other streets to get around the hospital" are pretty cool!
No public discussion on the traffic effects resulting from the loss of Valley Boulevard is needed?
