Predictable Traffic Jams in Del Mar

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker

I found myself stuck in another traffic bottleneck this morning.  It took me half an hour to drive off the exit ramp and creep the 1/2 mile to my Coldwell Banker Del Mar Village office.  And, what gets me is that it was totally avoidable!

I ought to know better after living and working next to the Del Mar Fairgrounds for the last 20 years!  Summer after summer, we locals learn to arrange our schedules around the traffic patterns generated by the San Diego County Fair and the race track season.  The problem is we forget that the Fairgrounds are also used throughout the year for a variety of events. In fact, the facifilites are used for over 350 events a year.  They include weddings, receptions, equestrian and other animal shows, concerts, craft shows, home shows, car shows and other social and consumer events.

I must have past your office last week on a visit to Del Mar.  Spoke to a colleague who struck up a conversation when I was looking at some listings as I was walking by.  Next time I should stop in and say hi.
