CARLSBAD — Traffic calming in the Barrio will have to wait for a new solution.
The City Council delayed the traffic circles project on Tuesday amid some complaints from residents about the circles and the loss of parking. The item was set to be approved to award the construction contract, but Councilwoman Melanie Burkholder pulled the item, which has been in the works for 11 years.
The item will come back to the council on July 29. The council also directed staff to return with options to include a plan without traffic circles, but with traffic calming (stop signs, speed humps) and a hybrid alternatives that might include traffic circles.
