I would love to see a rail trail. It doesn't have to be fancy. How cool would that be?

I too would love to see a rail trail as long as it's like the one pictured without chain link fences the entire length of the tracks.

How about a nice, natural rail trail similar to Solana Beach!? Bury those tracks.

I rode the train to Union Station today... boy does the Leucadia dead zone look bad.

No political signs on our medians.
They are not supposed to be there.
Yank them.

I agree with Brian. That would be a good video - approaching each community and how Leucadia sits in the middle of great wealth and is starved.

Why does the running path abruptly end right there?

The Leucadia Blog!

English spiritualists settled Leucadia in 1870 and are reputed to have danced, in diaphanous white robes, in the little Roadside Park. The spiritualists are the reason so many of the streets are named after Greek gods and goddesses. Leucadia is Greek for "a sheltered place." Heritage Eucalyptus trees, planted in the 1880s, still grace the highway. When President Roosevelt passed through Leucadia in an open car during the Depression, local children climbed the Eucalyptus trees to wave to him. Change happens slowly in this nostalgic little California beach town. In lieu of fast food restaurants and franchise chain stores, Leucadia has two miles of Mom 'n Pop businesses, and that's the way everyone likes it. It's most memorable bumper sticker is "Keep Leucadia Funky." The town played an active role in the rebirth of the classic Highway 101 shield, restored by the city in 1997, and was part of the successful 101 Campaign to have Highway 101 declared an historic route.
