Installation of planned city signage directing people to keep their distance from sea lions at Point La Jolla and La Jolla Cove may be imminent, according to the Sierra Club Seal Society.
Seal Society docent Robyn Davidoff told the La Jolla Parks & Beaches board on June 28 that two new signs were “in progress” and would be posted “in the next week or so” near the belvedere railing and near the stairs that lead to La Jolla Cove. She said a plan also was in progress to stencil a message on the short wall that separates the sidewalk from Point La Jolla.

Torrey Pines Community Planning Board members and local residents shared a litany of concerns they have about another proposed cannabis business along Sorrento Valley Road during an April 8 online meeting of the planning board’s Project Review Committee.

The retail cannabis business under consideration, Cookies, would be located at 11330 Sorrento Valley Rd., near three existing cannabis businesses.
The community plan doesn’t prohibit cannabis businesses, but planning board members and residents who spoke during public comment said they don’t fit with the biotech and industrial character of the area. Some said the community plan should be amended to more unequivocally define that character for future projects.
The walking tours begin at the Athenaeum and weave through The Village, covering roughly half the murals currently on view, including the five installed in 2020 and 2021. “Each mural has its own story,” Forsha said. “We talk about the artists’ concepts, what the inspiration might have been.”
The tours are free and will be limited at first to 20 of the usual 40-person capacity, with masks required.
“I’ve really missed giving the tours,” Forsha said. “I love spending time with people who are just curious. I find that the people who sign up for the tours are always interested in knowing more about the project.”
