I have a friend who lives a block from Chula Vista. Sometimes we go to concerts together at the Sharon. To reach her (on Palermo), I take the Chula Vista gate from 466. After I pick her up, I proceed down Chula Vista to Rio Grande to Avenida Central. Chula Vista is the through street for at least a couple hundred homes in that area. It is more than just a residential street like the rest of the streets in the area. It’s wide enough for easy two lane traffic with parking on both sides. That’s not the way it is with most streets here. If the Chula Vista gate weren’t there, I would have to take Morse up to Rio Grande, THEN TRAVEL SOUTH ON CHULA VISTA.
While it’s possible that there are those who take the Chula Vista gate as a shortcut from 466 to Spanish Springs (it is), I suspect that most of the traffic (and most of the speeders) are going from the Chula Vista gate to a home in the area or going from a home in the neighborhood to Spanish Springs. Closing the Chula Vista gate would be a hardship for hundreds of neighborhood homeowners.
I applaud the ticketing, but I would oppose closing the gate.
