A college campus in Rancho Bernardo? Isn't it really just about the money?

Have you heard that Palomar College purchased some choice land in Rancho Bernardo. here's the news story, do you see anything in it about the added congestion that the student traffic will cause in nearby Westwood? Wasn't it enough that an elderly gentleman has already lost his life near that intersection???The city hasn't even built the side walk out to that entrance. It doesn't seem like they will take responsibility for his life either, but that subject seemed to just get swept under the carpet when it happened.

I was talking to a close friend who lives in the Westwood area recently and she was sharing with me her concerns of even more traffic on Rancho Bernardo Road and the possibility of the students eventually parking on the residential streets of the quiet neighborhood. This doesn't seem to concern the city, that students could be crossing the same street where the elderly gentleman got run over. People speed down that part of the road every day. What were they thinking?

For those of you who may have similar concerns, there is an informational meeting THIS Wednesday, June 23rd, at 5:30pm at the Rancho Bernardo Community park. Please attend and voice your concerns and opinions on the possible outcome of this matter, as their close of escrow is quickly approaching at the end of this month.

How many more people have to die near that intersection before anyone does something to prevent more lives from being lost?
