Once they are built, the auxiliary lanes will enable vehicles traveling on the freeway between Via de la Valle and Lomas Santa Fe to stay in outside lanes. That should reduce weaving in and out of the main freeway and improve traffic flow, California Transportation Department spokesman Edward Cartagena said yesterday. Motorists will still have four lanes in each direction during construction, but each will be 1 foot narrower while the six-month project is under way.
The new lanes are a step toward widening I-5 from La Jolla through Oceanside. That project, which is undergoing environmental studies, is expected to begin in 2009. OCEANSIDE: A proposed day spa may not be the stereotypical massage parlor with activities of a sexual nature, a city staff report says, but the Oceanside Planning Commission should deny a permit for the proposal anyway on Monday.
Tianna Martin is seeking a conditional-use permit for therapeutic massage, reflexology, skin care and acupressure for her Golden Day Spa at 417 S. Coast Highway. City Planner Sally Schifman noted in her report that most of the spa s space would be devoted to the massage service, and there s already a massage establishment and a tattoo parlor in the area.
By allowing this third regulated use into the area, Schifman s report said, the potential for adult activity and associated blight, depreciated property values, and law enforcement problems increases. Plans to keep the spa open until 9 p.m.
conflict with the pattern in the area, where most businesses close between 5 and 7 p.m., she said.
The commission meeting will begin at 7 p.m. in council chambers at 300 N.
