I have clients who live in there (that subdivision). The problem is the hill that that is on Flintridge if you are going west on Flintridge before you reach the light at Kuykendahl. I believe there were a few accidents when the shopping center was created with people trying to go left. I remember it used to be you could go left, but then it was made into a right-turn-only. I started a dog walking/pet sitting business and when I cross over there to go back into that subdivision, I always hesitate and listen for the traffic before running across. If you put a 4-way stop there, you are still going to have an issue with the people not seeing it is a 4-way stop until it is too late. I will have to say though that since Trader Joe's has opened, I've seen more and more people creating a left turn at that area anyway. It will take someone getting hurt before people will understand that again.
Of course people are going to make a left turn out of there, seeing as you can only enter from the east. I guess the cops haven't made this one of their hangouts. They're always a couple of blocks away at the other stop signs catching people rolling them.
Am I the only one who's not impressed by Trader Joe's? I had them nearby when I lived in NJ and went there a few times....but most things I bought were very average.

No, I went one time and didn't find anything to return to buy.

It is different than anything else most of us have seen.
I like it. It's not the kind of place that the average family would do their weekly grocery shopping. It is a much smaller than any grocery store around these days.
They have some different things I find interesting. A slightly quirky atmosphere, friendly atmosphere, helpful employees.

You are not the only one that was not impressed with this place, once was enough for us.

I wish it was more bike friendly.
I would love to ride my bike from my house in creekside park.
There is no safe way to do it at this time!
There is a very safe way - exit out of Creekside on the Gosling side, take the bike path on the East side of Gosling up to Flintridge, take the bike path on the North side of Flintridge up to the store.
Obviously the further East you live in Creekside the less of a detour it is to get onto Gosling.

Creekside Park is new, the bridge is old. There is a bike trail on the Gosling bridge, so hopefully as this side builds up they would put a bike trail, but probably not until they expand the bridge across the creek. I think I saw that wasn't going to happen until 2016.
