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.

Although it is considered a “valuable support” system to the city of San Diego, the La Jolla Parks & Beaches committee is not, it turns out, a recognized advisory group to the city.
The group’s departing president, Ann Dynes, provided an update at its Jan. 25 meeting online.
She explained that the city sought the counsel of the city attorney and Parks & Recreation Department in the fall after two board members Mary Ellen Morgan and Marie Hunrichs made controversial comments about the Black Lives Matter movement and the city’s decision not to remove chalk writings in support of the movement on the Fay Avenue Bike Path.
If 2020 has proved anything, it’s that La Jollans don’t lose their fighting spirit.
As the world battled the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, locals hopped online or otherwise did what they could for various causes whether it be neighborhood character, racial justice or adapting to ever-changing public health restrictions to keep their businesses open. All of this without in-person entertainment, meetings and events and while staying masked and socially distanced.
Through Dec. 26, residents of La Jolla’s 92037 ZIP code had registered 833 cases of the virus. San Diego County’s cumulative cases stood at 145,779 as of Dec. 27, with more than 1,400 related deaths.
