The SR-56 Connector DEIR is out with thousands more pages of information on impacts to Carmel Valley and Torrey Pines... One interesting point: It appears the One Paseo DEIR Traffic analysis relied on the best case version, the Direct Connectors.

Traffic gridlock will not be corrected by street improvements, no additional parks will be added for 1,666 new residents, schools might be impacted but the issue wasn't even studied!

The item was added to the agenda and the meeting was announced at last week's Planning Board meeting, which was attended by representatives from Kilroy. Somehow, in the short time between these meetings, the City decided it wasn't appropriate for the Council to comment on the DEIR! Read more...
