San Diego mayor’s spending plan cuts library hours 23 percent, but boosts firefighter hiring and climate action plan
Accomplishments noted in the budget include La Jolla Recreation Center basketball court resurfacing and replacement of water mains in the La Jolla Scenic Drive area. Continuing projects that are not expected to be completed this year include Coastal Rail Trail bike path construction and drainage repairs in the Alta La Jolla Drive area.
In the meantime, funding is budgeted for capital projects across La Jolla in various phases of work.
“The fiscal-year 2022 budget represents a new vision for our city and recovery from the devastating impact of the pandemic,” said City Councilman Joe LaCava, whose District 1 includes La Jolla. “I am encouraged to see many of my priorities are funded in the budget — organizational efficiencies, homelessness, ‘sexy streets’ initiative [which involves pouring a slurry seal to maintain roads, overlays for roads that need new paving, and reconstruction for roads that need a complete makeover, particularly in underserved neighborhoods], climate action, labor standards, youth programming and more.”
