Residents of the Capistrano Park area at the edge of Oceanside next to Camp Pendleton say it\u2019s tougher than ever to get into and out of their neighborhood, and they need the city\u2019s help.<\/p>\n

Their only access is from Harbor Drive east of Interstate 5, just before the main entrance into the Marine Corps base.<\/p>\n

Anytime there is an uptick in military activity, such as the on-and-off war with Iran, heightened security at the Pendleton gate can slow traffic and clog the entrance to the nearby civilian community. Also, the steady increase in I-5 traffic and occasional freeway emergencies or gridlock can compound their commuting difficulties.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a huge need to create a second entrance\/exit to this neighborhood,\u201d said resident Melody Beauchamp in an April 21 letter to the Oceanside City Council.<\/p>\n

The Capistrano community is sandwiched in high rolling hills between Camp Pendleton and the San Luis Rey River. Many of the outer homes overlook the San Luis Rey Valley, though there\u2019s no road down into the valley.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a lovely, diverse neighborhood of homes full of families of all ages\/generations and it is imperative that we have a safer way for all neighbors to exit this neighborhood safely, in a time of emergency evacuation,\u201d Beauchamp said in her letter.<\/p>\n
