dinner at Trader Vic’s. All are within walkingdistance of his two-story, wood-panel home,nestled at the dead-end of Wilkie Way next tothe unobtrusive Parksquare Apartment complex.
Two doors down lives a couple who has beenthere for seven years. Next door is another cou-ple who moved there in 1955, when their Eich-ler home would have been surrounded by fieldsand foliage. At the same time, many young fam-ilies have joined the neighborhood.
Most of the original Eichler homes remainintact. Some have been remodeled. Others weretorn down and replaced with larger, Mediter-ranean concoctions.
But, according to Deborah Ju, neighborhoodassociation president and resident of 17 years,“The neighborhood’s stayed remarkably thesame.”
Most residents remain for long periods oftime. They form a multi-cultural, family-orient-ed community described by many as supportiveand involved.
“The main strength of the neighborhood isthe people themselves,” said City Council mem-ber LaDoris Cordell. She has lived inCharleston Meadows since 1987.
“It’s a fairly close-knit community. It’s not acommunity where you don’t know who livesnext to you,” she said. “People will come to-gether when they think the quality of the neigh-borhood is being threatened and also to supportpositive change.”
While Charleston Meadows’ central streetsremain relatively untouched, along the peripherya new neighborhood is emerging.
The Hyatt Rickey’s hotel, a fixture on ElCamino for 50 years, is expected to be sold andthe property likely turned into housing. The
Charleston Meadows Neighborhood Associa-tion worked with the Hyatt for five years tocome up with a mutually acceptable plan, whichincludes 185 townhouses, row houses and sin-gle-family homes.
“The issue brought a lot of people togetherbecause we had a common need to review theplans,” Kohler said. “Most of us in the neigh-borhood are sad to see the hotel go.”
“Traffic would have been horrible [with alarger project],” Cordell said. “One hundred andeighty-five is doable. It will maintain the qualityof life in the neighborhood.”
Next door to Rickey’s, members of the ElksLodge are reviewing plans to develop theirproperty. Most likely, housing will be builtthere, but a decision is yet to be made.
Nearby, on Charleston Road, the city is ad-dressing growing traffic concerns.
“I’ve watched over the years as things be-came more and more congested with more andmore traffic,” Cordell observed.
“[Charleston Road] is pretty unsafe current-ly,” Deborah Ju said. “Charleston is a problemin terms of volume of cars, speed of cars and thelack of a continuous bike lane.”
The Charleston-Arastradero Corridor Plan toaccommodate traffic was approved by the CityCouncil months ago but lacks funding. Accord-ing to the plan, Charleston’s four lanes will bereduced to three. Medians and a continuous bikelane will be added for safety purposes.
In Charleston Meadows, the trend is towardsmore housing and traffic, but also decisions thatdeal with both in order to preserve a high quali-ty of life. Many long-time residents remain. Atthe same time, young families are moving in.There is a sadness at seeing neighborhood insti-tutions like the Hyatt disappear and dismay dueto the infrequent destruction of Eichler homes.
But, as people change and as times change,so do the neighborhoods that surround them. ■
