NEW PLANS HAVE BEEN RELEASED TO IMPROVE THE RIO DEL MAR BEACH ESPLANADE ROUNDABOUT. COST ESTIMATES TOTALING 250 THOUSAND DOLLARS WERE PROVIDED TO THE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS ON MONDAY. RESIDENTS OF THE COMMUNITY HAVE LONG COMPLAINED THAT THE “KIDNEY-SHAPED” ROUNDABOUT IS CONFUSING AND DANGEROUS FOR PEDESTRIANS AND MOTORISTS ALIKE. THE PROJECT WAS FIRST PROPOSED BACK IN 2003.
