Although implementation is still away off, the La Jolla Village Merchants Association was briefed during its May 12 meeting on a proposal to bring digital kiosks to San Diego, and possibly The Village.
LJVMA Executive Director Jodi Rudick said the board was asked to explore the idea of installing some digital signage as part of the November opening of the Mid-Coast Trolley, which will extend trolley service between San Diego’s Old Town and the UC San Diego and University City areas, and a possible shuttle to bring visitors into The Village from the trolley stop.

Live music is allowed to return to The Village’s indoor venues with relaxed coronavirus restrictions in San Diego County, but it might also be returning to the streets. The La Jolla Village Merchants Association is looking to match musicians with retailers that want them in front of their stores.
LJVMA previously brought musicians to The Village through its Enjoya La Jolla community outings, featuring entertainment, shopping deals and demos, refreshments, prizes, contests and more. Though Enjoya La Jolla is not back in its full capacity, LJVMA Executive Director Jodi Rudick said the outdoor musical element could return.
She said the board spent $1,500 to $2,000 a month on music for Enjoya La Jolla.

The La Jolla Village Merchants Association board underwent some changes during its March 10 meeting: Its president, Brett Murphy, stepped down; a new president was elected; a new member was seated; and another new member was accepted and will be sworn in at the next meeting.
Murphy said his gym, La Jolla Sports Club, will reopen under a new name and new ownership in coming weeks, and he therefore doesn’t have a valid business license in The Village and no longer qualifies for a board position.
