‘Slow down’: Mystery painter puts a message on the street in Bird Rock

  Sign the petition   here . Lower speed limits save lives and prevent injuries. " For some residents, however, the message echoes a call for drivers to slow down on Bird Rock streets. In summer 2022, Bird Rock resident Harry Bubbins, who is now president of the La Jolla Community Planning Association,  launched a petition drive   aiming to have the 35 mph speed limit lowered on La Jolla Boulevard as it winds into Bird Rock. The petition has since been submitted to the city for consideration. Bubbins told the  Light  that the recent “Slow down” message “speaks to the dangerous conditions that exist from speeding drivers and the widespread local perception of a need to address it, especially the 35 mph speed from Pacific Beach as you pass Tourmaline Surfing Park and approach Bird Rock Elementary School.” This week, he said, advocates spoke before the San Diego City Council’s Active Transport and Infrastructure Committee “to ask for the state law [Assembly Bi...

300+ Signed! Letter Sent to Local Councilmember

 3 00+ Signed the Petition! Letter Sent to Local Councilmember Dear Councilmember Joe LaCava,  Lower speed limits save lives and prevent injuries.  The speed limit on La Jolla Boulevard in City Council District #1 between Pacific Beach and Bird Rock is too high at 35mph.

(With no transition from 35mph.)  The above organizations and businesses in Council District #1 and active in San Diego support lowering the speed limit on La Jolla Boulevard. In addition, we have attached a list of ov...

Group asking city to reduce speed limit on La Jolla Boulevard

 BIRD ROCK – An effort continues by some in Bird Rock seeking to decrease the speed limit on La Jolla Boulevard. Launched more than three years ago, an ad hoc group known as  Respect Bird Rock  sent a letter in April to District 1 Councilmember  Joe LaCava , urging him to consider lowering the speed limit on La Jolla Boulevard. Their letter read: “Lower speed limits save lives and prevent injuries. The speed limit on La Jolla Boulevard between Pacific Beach and Bird Rock is too high at 35 mph. This includes the well-trafficked but dangerous crossing at the world-famous Tourmaline Surf Park destination.” The letter goes on to point out that 35 mph is a higher speed than all the other commercial/residential streets that connect with La Jolla Boulevard. Reacting to the speed-limit-lowering effort, Joe Terry, current president of  Bird Rock Community Council , said: “The BRCC has not addressed this issue. My understanding of what folks think is t...
