Next Rainbow Planning Group meeting is June 21 6:30 PM Vallecitos board room. 

Ca. Public Utilities Notice of Prearation

Rainbow Community Planning Group,

You very well may have received a communication directly from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) regarding their Notice of Preparation (NOP) of an EIR on SDG&E’s proposed Pipeline Safety & Reliability Project (PSRP) when they issued it last week.  In case the notice did not reach you directly, I wanted to send you a courtesy notice to share the information with you.

The NOP initiates a public comment period from May 9 through June 12, during which the CPUC is soliciting comments on the potential effects of the proposed project, the scope of the EIR, and the issues and alternatives to evaluate in the EIR.  The CPUC will hold three public meetings May 23-25 in Fallbrook, Escondido and Scripps Ranch (times and locations below).  Attached is a copy of the NOP, as well as the legal notice and postcard that was mailed by CPUC.  The NOP and additional information are available on the CPUC’s website at http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/Environment/info/ene/sandiego/sandiego.html

Please note that although the route proposed by SDG&E may not be located in your area, the CPUC, based on its environmental review process and public input, will ultimately determine where the project should be located.

RPG Meeting - RAINBOW ROAD CONDITIONS

Rainbow Road Conditions

At our meeting on Wednesday July 16, The Rainbow Community Planning Group voted to solicit input from the community (by way of your blog, if possible) regarding potentially troublesome intersections and areas of roadway in Rainbow.  This was done in response to an offer by the San Diego County Traffic Engineer to address poor visibility on our roads caused by shrub overgrowth.  The County is committed to mitigating the impact of overgrown shrubs in the public right of way immediately.  They will also contact property owners when overgrown shrubs on private property are obstructing visibility for motorists.  The following areas have been identified by our group as being particularly problematic:   

1)      Intersection of Rice Canyon Road and Rainbow Heights Road—traffic heading Northbound on Rice Canyon cannot see traffic heading West (down hill) on Rainbow Heights Road.

2)      Intersection of Rainbow Valley Boulevard and 5^th Street near Rainbow Realty Office—traffic heading southwest on Rainbow Valley Boulevard cannot see oncoming traffic heading into the intersection

3)      The intersection of Rainbow Valley Boulevard and West Rainbow Valley Boulevard near the Gas plant—visibility is impaired on both sides of the intersection due to weeds and other overgrowth.  Traffic heading South on Rainbow Valley Boulevard from Temecula is often traveling in excess of 50mph.  Cross traffic will pull in front of fast moving vehicles, due to poor visibility.

The group is also seeking additional input from the community regarding any other areas where road/traffic visibility is a problem for motorists.

Sincerely,

Gary Drake, Chairman
Rainbow Community Planning Group

I-15 Corridor... Bill Crocker reported that there was no meeting last month. Dennis Sanford reported that RMWD had been notified that the Pala tribe will be developing their property at 76 and I-15.

Pala Raceway  ...Bud Swanson commented that there was not any noticeable change in the noise levels since the new protocol was introduced by Pala and the noise pollution is continued unabated.

Post Office... Will open in November.

Playground Rainbow Park ....Nothing further at this time.

RMWD Report ... Dennis Sanford reported that Metropolitan Water will pass through another water rate increase in January. He also stated that 95-1 was under discussion because it was too restrictive at $1 million. He also mentioned that the State requires a public vote on public debt but the requirement is different at 50% plus one.

Dennis also reported that there was serious discussion concerning consolidation of certain functions within three of the water districts in an effort to save money.

Also, a concern for the RMWD was the notion that everyone has a right to water, how could you shut someone off for lack of payment?
