Police increasing parking enforcement at local beaches
With the busy summer season here, the San Diego Police Department says it increasing parking enforcement in beach communities, including addressing violations of the Oversized Vehicle Ordinance, which limits larger vehicles such as RVs and trailers on public streets.
The beach areas are regularly patrolled by SDPD’s Northern Division (which includes La Jolla) and Western and Neighborhood Policing divisions. Reports of violations can be made through the city’s Get It Done app and will be directed to SDPD so officers can respond.
The increased enforcement comes after years of complaints from La Jolla residents.
In late 2021 and into 2022, camper vans were seen parked in dense groups along Vallecitos in La Jolla Shores, a short street where the westernmost block has limited parking next to the south side of Kellogg Park, and along Neptune Place near Windansea Beach.
Witnesses sought for details of hit-and-run
Witnesses are being sought to help provide details of a hit-and-run crash that seriously injured a pedestrian the night of July 2 in the 4600 block of La Jolla Village Drive, near the Westfield UTC mall.
According to San Diego police, a 38-year-old man was near a crosswalk at the intersection of La Jolla Village and Town Centre drives at about 10:20 p.m. when he was struck by a vehicle traveling through the intersection from an unknown direction. The vehicle then left the scene.
The pedestrian suffered a fractured leg, fractured ribs and abrasions to his head, face and legs and was taken to a hospital.
No description of the vehicle was immediately available, and it was unknown whether alcohol was a factor in the collision.
The San Diego Police Department Traffic Division is handling the investigation and can be reached at 858-495-7842.
