Supervisor Pam Slater has proposed what is being termed "the Parkway Plan," a way to improve traffic flow by coordinating surface street construction projects. Cities would cooperate to improve streets that cross city lines, road widenings, new turn lanes, and synchronized traffic signals.
City officials will meet this month to talk about the results of a Caltrans traffic study on surface streets and discuss ideas for a cooperative effort.
City and county officials have long maintained that North County doesn't have enough east-west routes. Other roads, like Rancho Santa Fe Road and Del Dios Highway, are overcrowded and need widening.
State Route 56, which will link Poway and Del Mar, is expected to open in July 2004. But another project, State Route l 680, had been killed due to environmental concerns.
