The Carlsbad City Council held an official ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the completion of a one mile stretch of Poinsettia Lane, east of El Camino Real. With the “missing link” complete, you can now go all the way to the coast on Poinsettia Lane, by car, on foot or on a bike. The new road segment has wide sidewalks and bike lanes with a buffer to create space between passing cars and cyclists.
Special consideration was given to the surrounding habitat, including designing a bridge that allows wildlife to safely pass underneath. Bat roosts are attached to the pillars of the bridge too. The surrounding landscape is irrigated with recycled water, as another way to help conserve natural resources.
