The Fallbrook Community Planning Group recommended that the county's Department of Public Works review potential improvements to Clemmens Lane.

A 14-0 planning group vote Sept. 20, with Tom Harrington absent, recommended that DPW consider completing the gaps between sidewalk portions on Clemmens Lane, consider painting the speed limit on the street, review and reassess the location of red curbs which prohibit parking, review the disabled parking in front of the apartment building to ensure that it complies with standards, consider sidewalks and a crosswalk in front of Clemmens Lane Park, consider sidewalks in front of the Odd Fellows Cemetery, and review the vacant lot owned by San Diego Gas & Electric with a dirt area which is being used for parking.

"We would just like DPW to come out and take a look at it and see what they can do to make it a safer path for pedestrians," said planning group chair Eileen Delaney.

"All of them are basically safety-related," said Roy Moosa, who chairs the planning group's Circulation Committee.

The VR-30 (Village Residential, 30 units per gross acre) land use designation on West Clemmens Lane is the highest density in Fallbrook. The two-story apartment buildings have approximately 300 units and 1,000 residents.

"The street needs to be looked at," Delaney said.

The July 21 planning group meeting included a list of recommended road improvements which was forwarded to DPW, which has asked the county to prioritize those proposed improvements which include road resurfacing and other repair, turn lanes, bicycle lanes and sidewalks. When the planning group approves the priorities the Clemmens Lane recommendations will be included.

"I don't know what the county's response is going to be," Moosa said. "We want them to look into it and assess it."
