The Fourth of July in the City of San Diego is renowned, and thanks to the diligence of our Lifeguard, Fire, and Police Departments, no matter how you celebrated, public safety was there when you needed their assistance. We appreciate our first responders who kept us safe on the sand and in the water over the holiday weekend. 

Residents of Del Mar Terrace and Arroyo Sorrento: Head to the Carmel Valley Library next Thursday, July 18, for a Pre-Design Community Forum on an upcoming City Utilities Undergrounding Project in your neighborhood. Find the limits of Block 1Y here. For the rest of us, watch for news as the city and SDG&E reactivate the undergrounding program in other parts of District 1.

Great news: Access to Shell Beach at Scripps Park in La Jolla is OPEN! Thank you, City Engineering & Capital Projects Department, for completing the challenging emergency repair of the stormwater outfall, reopening the boardwalk, and restoring access to this unique beach. 

I appreciate every opportunity to connect with constituents out in the district. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to offer comments or ask questions during the La Jolla Open Aire Farmer’s Market and Pacific Beach Tuesday Farmers' Market. Thank you also to the La Jolla Sunrise Rotary Club members for the chance to update you on my latest work in City Hall and key issues in D1. Listening to residents, local groups, and organizations helps me to serve you better—please continue joining me for conversations.
