Ponto Settlement

The big item on tomorrow's City Council agenda is the approval of the settlement with Carlsbad over the Ponto development. Not sure what to make of this. Splitting the costs seems reasonable enough but how is Encinitas going to pay for it? The NC Times says that we will get the money from "developer fees" and "traffic impact fees." Why does the settlement only cover the improvements on La Costa from 101 to Vulcan? That is only about 30 feet of roadway. What about the rest of La Costa?
