The City of Encinitas Mobility & Traffic Safety Commission held a meeting on April 14, 2025, focused primarily on reviewing and prioritizing their work plan related to traffic safety and mobility projects. Key procurement-related discussions included updates on ongoing capital improvement projects such as the citywide lead pedestrian interval implementation funded by a $1.2 million state grant, and the El Camino Real cycle track project supported by a grant. The commission also discussed potential future projects including automated traffic enforcement options, safer roundabouts, pedestrian and bicycle safety improvements, and autonomous vehicle testing pilots. Public comments and commissioner deliberations highlighted safety concerns on Highway 101, especially regarding the existing cycle track infrastructure and the need for improvements or redesigns.

No specific contract awards or vendor selections were made during this session, but funding and grant considerations for projects were discussed extensively.
