Since April of 2014, we have been telling residents that only Visitors can use the Visitor Parking lots. This rule was put into place over 10 years ago, but has not been fully enforced. Anyone parking in the Visitor lot that is not an actual Visitor will be considered as “unauthorized” and will be towed at the owner’s or operator’s expense. For far too long we have had residents who continually abuse the visitor lots and that time is coming to a close. We have been warning our residents for over a year, which is more than reasonable.
If your car is towed, it is your own fault.
City officials broke ground on July 2 for a new Fire Station Nov. 10 located at the corner of Balboa and Grand Peninsula Drive. The $5 million, 12,000-square-foot facility will house 18 firefighters and paramedics, and feature four truck bays. Architecture for the building will be a nautical theme with a tower element resembling a light house. The new station is scheduled to open in May 2016.
