The Dec. 1 Coronado City Council meeting began with a ceremonial recognition of the Cityâs 130th anniversary of incorporation on December 11, 1890. The milestone anniversary was commemorated with a five minute historic video and a city-wide exercise challenge that encouraged people to get outside and exercise during the pandemic. After the video presentation, Jamie Monroe of Easy Day Sports reported that 2,677 people had signed up for the 130 Virtual Challenge. The goal for individuals is to complete 130 miles running, walking, swimming, or biking between July 4 - Dec. 11.Â
The agenda item that drew the most public attention, with 16 written comments attached to the agenda and one phone-in during the meeting, was the Ocean Boulevard Street Improvement Project. The public comments recorded were 11-5 against improvements; however, many of the letters in both opposition and support were nuanced in support of different variations of improvement.
