It’s a month shy of a year, since La Jolla Light first published reports of community concerns about the noxious odors hovering over the Cove and the Village, caused by the unforgiving, unrelenting sea lion and cormorant excrement on the cliffs along the shore. Almost one year has passed (some say the situation is nearing a crisis state) and nothing has been done about it.

Not only was the La Jolla Community Planning Commission (LJCPA) deliberately fooled by UCSD regarding the MESOM building but so was the California Coastal Commission. The pictures provided by UC San Diego that are in the Coastal Commission document filed in April 2011 show a very different, post-construction view of the coast for both cars and pedestrians alike from what now exists. Furthermore, this document states that “Prior to the issuance of the Coastal Development Permit, the applicant (ie UCSD) shall enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOA) with the Commission regarding a future development plan for the Scripps Institute of Oceanography (SIO) campus”.”

I was dismayed to see the La Jolla Light’s editorial opposing our own Sherri Lightner who has been working in support of our neighborhoods while on the San Diego City Council and for years before that in community groups. It is a privilege and a great comfort to have a person of Sherri’s capacity, spirit and endurance fighting for us. I am proud to support Sherri Lightner with my total commitment and encourage you to vote for her for San Diego City Council.

My interest in the debate was to see how the two candidates behaved toward one another. Were they going to be civil or not? This debate, a symbol of the political discourse flooding our country right now, was a wonderful opportunity for the candidates to model the skills of vigorously arguing the issues, right and wrong, rather than good and bad, and finding ways to disagree without demonizing. Since the beginning of time, politics has always been about rigorous debate and passionate arguments. That’s not incivility, that’s politics.

Since January, the La Jolla Light has been reporting on the nauseating odor that fills the air along the Cove coastline that is caused by marine wildlife excrement rotting on the cliffs. Pedestrians, joggers, seaside diners, merchants, visitors and residents alike, have all voiced their disgust at the situation.

Can you help? $70,000 is now needed to finish the remodeling of the La Jolla Community Center. If you would like to be a part of completing the capital improvements, please contact us this week. All donations are tax-deductible. The time is now, because there is a “critical path” in our construction that dictates when the needed improvements must be made — or it is more expensive to add them later. We are ready to complete the remodeling this month.

The San Diego City Council voted to 6-1 on July 9 to support a $45.3 million construction project that will remove vehicles from the center of Balboa Park, returning its Plaza de Panama to pedestrians. The plan includes construction of a 405-foot bypass bridge to carry traffic around the center of the park, and building a 797-space underground parking garage where motorists would pay $5 to park for five hours. La Jolla’s city council representative Sherry Lightner cast the lone dissenting vote. The Light asked her to write a column explaining her views on the project. We thank her for filing this report.

Although La Jolla still retains some of its founding sleepy-quaint-artist-colony-village-by-the-sea-and-surf charm, this thriving metropolis now houses 46,781 people living within its seven miles, according to the 2010 U.S. Census. And La Jolla’s hilly, winding streets, built for a gentler time, now must service residents out for a walk, moms pushing strollers, youths riding skateboards and scooters, tourists on segways, bicyclists, buses, motorists, fire trucks, ambulances, and utility construction vehicles and their orange cones.
