Walls Not Walkways: Part Two

by The Editors on June 14, 2007

Starwall-1A while back, in Barring the Barrio, we mentioned that it seems like any time the people of Carlsbad decide they’d like to walk somewhere, that instead of building walkways, walls get built.

The Starbucks on the corner of Grand and Coast Highway is the most recent victim of this mentality. A silly little fence has been erected to keep people from walking from the Village Faire Shopping Center parking lot across a small strip of grass to Starbucks. A simple walkway with four steps and a handrail would have likely cost less, however, in went a wall. We wonder if this isn’t the sign of a deeper problem brewing at the Village Faire. . .
