Paseo Santa Fe Improvements Taking Shape

THERE’S A LOT GOING ON DOWNTOWN!
Work is progressing on the downtown Paseo Santa Fe Improvement Project along S. Santa Fe Avenue. The reconﬁguration
from four lanes into two lanes with a trafﬁc circle installed at Eucalyptus Avenue and the construction of the small linear park
will take place in 2015.
The 69-unit Paseo Pointe workforce housing project (photo), located on the west side of S. Santa Fe Avenue between
Eucalyptus Avenue and Oceanview Drive, is scheduled for completion in the summer, 2015. While there are temporary trafﬁc
delays associated with the construction activities, businesses are open and they welcome the public!

Investing Regionally in
Economic Development
In the world of economic development, everyone is talking about the beneﬁts
of working within a regional framework; however, success stories are not seen
often. That’s why the ﬁve cities of Carlsbad, Escondido, Oceanside, San Marcos,
and Vista are making history with the launch of a regional branding effort.
For more than two years, the ﬁve neighboring communities have been working
together as an informal regional group to support economic development along
the 78 Corridor. The development of the new regional brand and strategic plan
will support business retention and business attraction efforts in North County.
The cities will act as a region ﬁrst, and individual cities second, as one of the
best incentives that can be offered to businesses to keep them within the
corridor. The regional roll-out is planned in early, 2015.

Linda Rhoades
Recreation
Center Opens
The new Linda Rhoades Recreation
Center, located at the Vista Academy
of Visual & Performing Arts School
on N. Santa Fe Avenue, opened its
doors recently to the surrounding
neighborhood children and families. A $5 million dollar state grant was awarded
to the City to fund the project. The center bears the name of Linda Rhoades,
a longtime Vista resident who spent 12 years on the school district board, and
served as the president of the Vista American Little League and as a City of Vista Parks and Recreation commissioner.
Rhoades, who passed away in 2012, was instrumental in promoting recreational opportunities and in establishing the Vista
Academy as a performing arts magnet school.

New Downtown Art
Several new pieces created
by local artists have been
added to the public art
in the downtown area.
The sculpture “Alley Art
Man” was designed by
Rick and Jaydon Sterling
Randall and is located
on S. Indiana between
Main and Broadway. The
recently painted murals
“Boogie Birds”, located on
the back wall of Curbside
Café was created by Chor
Boogie and Sarah Spink’s
“Space Coyote” is on the
back of the AVO Playhouse
adjacent to Curbside.
Maintaining the
Infrastructure
Below the Surface
The City maintains over 290 miles of sewer lines. Since
the Sewer Improvement Projects began three years ago,
the City has funded $18 million in rehabilitation projects
and anticipates spending $63.44 million in 2014/15. The
project is at the half-way point with almost 50 percent of the
rehabilitation completed. Replacing the aging pipes is greatly
reducing the possibility of leaks or costly emergency repairs in
the future. Proactively restoring or replacing the infrastructure
will minimize and /or eliminate the need for costly emergency
repairs and will prevent sewer leakages or spills.
With limited federal and state assistance, the burden of
operating and maintaining wastewater infrastructure now
falls on the local governments and districts. The City of
Vista and Buena Sanitation District have been fortunate to
have secured over $26 million in state and federal stimulus
funding to help pay for the Capitol Improvement Projects.

Creating Safe Routes to Schools
In October, Bobier and Maryland Elementary schools celebrated “Walk to
School Day”. The event’s goal is to bring grandparents/seniors together with
the community to increase walking and biking to school. The County’s regional
government, called SANDAG (San Diego Association of Governments) is working
with communities to make walking and bicycling to school safer and more
attractive travel choices for families throughout the region. The City obtained a
grant from SANDAG to develop a Safe Routes to School Strategic plan.
If you see grafﬁti in your
neighborhood, don’t expect
that someone else has
reported it, please call the
Public Works hotline. When
grafﬁti is reported, the Public
Works Department can follow
up to facilitate clean-up and
report the vandalism to the
Vista Sheriff’s department.

The City website is
being updated to
provide better service
to the public. Once
launched, the new

and an easier to use navigation system, designed to make it
more efﬁcient for the public to access city information and
services when and where it’s most convenient.

Some new features of the site include an online zoning map
and a “responsive design” which automatically resizes and
reorganizes the site for viewing on mobile devices and online.
About 38 percent of the city’s website visits come from mobile
devices, and that number is expected to rise. The updated
website is expected to be launched in early 2015. Other
upcoming technology improvements for smartphone use are in
the works for the New Year.

Green Waste Recycling
The City’s contracted waste/recycling hauler, EDCO, recently
delivered green 95-gallon wheeled containers to residential
customers who currently receive green-waste collection
services. The automated green-waste collection is a simple
way for residents to collect grass, leaves, twigs, and brush
from yards for collection day.
At no additional cost, residents can request up to two
additional green-waste carts. The green waste is used in a
variety of diversion programs, including, but not limited to,
land application and composting.
More information and movie titles will be
announced in the next newsletter and posted to
the city’s web/social media sites in early 2015.

THE LION IN WINTER
JANUARY 15 – FEBRUARY 1, 2015
James Goldman’s legendary story of King Henry II of England and the battle between his ﬁercely competitive sons to
become the next in line is a modern day classic that draws you into its irresistible web of dysfunction not letting you go
without a ﬁght.
SONDHEIM ON SONDHEIM
FEBRUARY 12 – MARCH 1, 2015

ANNA IN THE TROPICS
MARCH 12 – 29, 2015
Nilo Cruz’s poignant and poetic new play is set in Florida in 1929 in a Cuban–American cigar factory, where cigars are still
rolled by hand and “lectors” are employed to educate and entertain the workers. The arrival of a new lector is a cause for
celebration, but when he begins to read aloud from Anna Karenina, he unwittingly becomes a catalyst in the lives of his
avid listeners, for whom Tolstoy, the tropics and the American dream prove a volatile combination.
