Some La Jolla Residents Concerned Over Lifeguard Station
Looks like there soon may be a new 1,500 sq ft lifeguard station in La Jolla Shores. Recently an appeal was denied over lack of targeting environmental issues, making room for the new project to be completed by 2010. However, there is a good chance there will be another appeal, which will cause more delays.
The lifeguard station in La Jolla Shores would be completed sooner, but the city has a ban on all beach construction during the summer. The ban has lasted more than five years and is in effect to ease congestion on the beach.

Some La Jolla residents are opposing the project stating that there are safety concerns, as well as, the loss of valuable parking space. Other reasons include blocking views and the station not blending aesthetically with its surroundings. But the appeal did not do much to sway the City Council. The focus was to be on environmental issues, however, there was no talk of environmental issues, therefore the appeal was denied.
