a blind spot and no stop sign. That’s what Farmer and her neighbor, Kate Ditzler set out to change. “It’s very busy.... Joggers, pedestrians,
children going to the middle school, dog owners,” she said. “I hear horns all the time.” On March 23, the Carmel Valley Plan-
ning Group approved her request for a sec- ond set of stop signs, transforming the inter- section from a two-way stop to a four-way stop by adding stop signs on Carmel View. MARTY GRAHAM
EAST VILLAGE Parklet next to Harvest at 10th and J
Only other one downtown is 16th and G Owners of the Patio restaurant group are hoping for approval from Civic San Diego of its application to build a 126-square-foot pedestrian plaza in front of its Harvest by the Patio eatery, at 369 10th Avenue (at J Street) in East Village. There are no parklets in that area currently. Pedestrian plazas require a neighbor- hood development permit from CivicSD,
Red zone at 10th and J – no parking spaces lost
which costs $1421. Although it would be in the street, CivicSD assistant planner James Alexander said that “we are not losing a space here, because it is being placed in an existing red zone.” The only other parklet downtown is
located in front of Moniker Warehouse, at 16th and G streets. Moniker Warehouse is an ongoing, multipurpose arts and creative center, and an events venue at night.

Bicyclist ticketed for not stopping at 39th and Meade No Idaho stops in Calif. yet “The policeman told me, ‘You are [riding] a bike and need to follow the rules of the road, and you did not stop at this four-way,’” said Anna Grace Carter. She received a ticket that read “Civ. 22450(a) cvc stop sign.”
Meade and 39th - “… instantly he is behind me and I’m like Whaaaaat?”
She said she slowed down to about seven
or eight miles per hour and knew because she monitored her speed with an app on her Apple watch. She added that the police officer disagreed and said, “You didn’t even slow down.” Jean Zagrodnik, 62, from Normal
her bicycle at 8:35 a.m. on Friday, March 24 to get her morning coffee at Dark Horse Coffee Roasters. As she crossed the intersec- tion of Meade and 39th “… instantly he is behind me and I’m, like, ‘Whaaaaat?’” she said. “I never saw him [coming].” She said Officer R. Thomas rode a motor-
cycle and pulled her over instantly, “like he was hiding by that shrubbery and white fence,” she said, pointing to the houses and the apartment around the corner from where she was stopped.
Heights, approved of cops handing out tickets to bicyclists that do not abide by the law. “From what I understand, there are other places that have different rules that allow bikes to slow down and pass through stop signs without actually stopping,” she said. “If that were the law here, I would be fine with it.” Zagrodnik was referring to the “Idaho stop.” In 2010, Jason N. Meggs, from Univer-
sity of California, Berkeley, did a study on the Idaho stop. A portion of it read: “Idaho presents a natural experiment to test the safety of relaxing requirements due to its state law allowing cyclists to yield rather than come to a hard stop.”
