With questions lingering about who owns what part of Cuvier Street, the La Jolla Community Planning Association did not vote July 1 on key parts of a proposal for the city of San Diego to vacate a portion of the roadway.
The LJCPA board was tasked with considering whether to support the vacation of a part of Cuvier Street bordering the La Jolla Recreation Center and The Bishop’s School, a lot-line adjustment and a coastal development permit to remove parking spaces and replace them on Prospect Street by making the spaces diagonal rather than head-in.
It was very encouraging to read the article in the
As Trace Wilson stated in that article, Pearl Street “is not very attractive and is … dangerous” in its current form.
La Jolla Community Planning Association President Diane Kane added: “I think the traffic circles would really help with the flow of traffic. I like the beautification; Pearl is really kind of a scuzzy-looking street.” So very true.
The time has come to copy what Bird Rock did on La Jolla Boulevard.
As stated in a
Light article last year, not that long ago La Jolla Boulevard was a four-lane “racetrack” through the Bird Rock business district. The cars were going very fast (average of 40-45 mph), in two lanes in each direction. This made the business district very dangerous and “unwalkable,” as pedestrians did not feel safe or comfortable walking the sidewalks to do their shopping.

The La Jolla Community Planning Association voted against the findings of its Development Permit Review subcommittee on a project that would overlook La Jolla Heights Natural Park in the Country Club neighborhood during its June 3 meeting.
The project in question is a development at 7362 Brodiaea Way, where applicants hoped for findings that their project essentially meets the terms of a previously approved permit, in what is known as a Substantial Conformance Review.
DPR approved a previous permit application for the property in December 2018 and the La Jolla Community Planning Association followed suit in February 2019. DPR then ruled the modified project does conform to the previously approved permit in April of this year.
Tennis Club decisions weren’t based on race

I am proud to be a member of LJTC and enjoy both tennis and interfacing with many friends at the club. I am not a board member, and nothing I write should be construed as an official reply or comment by the club or its elected board of directors.
I have seen our members treating all of our teaching professionals with great respect and friendliness for many years. I do not believe that suddenly our board would even consider race issues to be any part of their decision. It is not my purpose to comment about any board decision, except to dispel a rumor that “anonymous” sources may be claiming.
