Planning Group Addresses Starbucks Drive-Thru Traffic Issue
The group was responding to a letter from a resident that's worried about morning congestion around the coffeeshop.
The Starbucks drive-thru on Main Street has been causing traffic problems during the morning rush, an issue the Ramona Planning Group discussed last week.
The group was responding to a letter from a worried resident who wrote that it was often difficult to turn left onto 13th Street from SR-67 when the lines from the coffeeshop are long in the morning, and that sometimes the line goes out of the driveway onto SR-67.
To exacerbate matters, the long drive-thru lines have made it difficult for some people to get to the Ramona Ambulatory Care Center on 13th Street during emergencies, the board said.
The group decided that a letter should be sent to Starbucks, the County and Caltrans about the issue.
"Maybe Starbucks can be good neighbors and help with this situation," said planning group Chair Jim Piva.
