After initial ideas for replacing parking spaces taken by outdoor dining on Avenida de la Playa met with opposition from residents, a local committee presents new alternatives.
La Jolla cityhood proposal, Point La Jolla, La Casa de los Amigos, Adelante Townhomes, business burglaries, sidewalk vendors and the La Jolla Park Coastal Historic District are some of the issues that made headlines.
A nearby alley would be converted to a public parking lot as a way to meet requirements to keep the outdoor dining going. But some residents raise privacy and safety concerns and say the dining program is no longer necessary.
