In-ground parking sensors installed By Promise Yee
OCEANSIDE — This past week five in-ground parking sensors were installed on Pacific Street to measure parking space occupancy and turnover rate. The parking sensors placed in the downtown area are paired with existing cameras to collect information as a pilot project. Gathered information will provide a concrete snapshot of downtown parking. “The pilot will provide data that can be used going forward for possible future parking guidance, applications and occupancy availability,” Kiel Koger, city public works director, said. “The sensors will help determine space usage and demand.”
The pilot program is a separate measure from a parking study, which residents have called for and is expected to be funded in next year's budget. “If approved, the parking study may start by the end of the year after a consultant is chosen,” Koger said. Discussion of downtown businesses and housing have consistently included complaints about the shortage of parking, but lacked study data. During July 2016 Downtown Advisory Committee discussion on craft brewery zoning South Oceanside residents opposed zoning changes along Coast Highway due to the perceived lack of parking, insufficient number of
crosswalks and additional traffic impacts. In February 2017, City Council approved zoning that included a requirement for craft breweries to provide one parking space for each 125 feet of seating, which exceeds current parking standards that many say do not meet needs. During October 2016, Planning Commission discussion on short-term rentals objections were raised over parking issues, noise and excess trash rentals would bring. Prior to that a Coastal Zone Parking Standards Workshop was held in May 2015 to gather feedback on vacation rental parking. Provisions for onsite
parking and a limit on the number of allowed renters were added to short-term rental regulations to help address parking shortages. In March a City Council workshop on Coast Highway improvements introduced an overlay zone with nodal areas that would allow higher density development in exchange for developers providing public parking, public open space or road improvements. A parking reform policy will be part of overlay zone plans to ensure residents are not impacted by business parking. The policy will base parking requirements on business size, rather than business type.
California Surf Musuem stages book signing After nearly losing his 65' wooden schooner in a large Alaskan tide, writer, sailor, and surfer Jonathan White vowed to understand the tide. He knew the moon had something to do with it, but what exactly? He read a book, then two. Ten years
later, he had read three hundred books and crisscrossed the seven seas to see the largest, fastest, scariest, and most amazing tides in the world. In China he confronted the Silver Dragon, a twenty-five foot tidal bore that races eighty miles up the Qiantang River; at London's Royal Society, he dug into the earliest Western tide

With photographs, stories, and short readings, Jonathan takes his audiences on an enthralling journey into the surprising and poetic workings of the tide. Jonathan White has written for the Christian

RANCHO SANTA FE — The Rancho Santa Fe Library welcomed poet and author Lesléa Newman to showcase her most recent work and be on hand for a book signing. A prolific writer, Newman introduced her book of poems, “I Carry My Mother,” which embraces heart-driven words about her own experience in caring for her ailing mother. A resident of Massachusetts, Newman said her work explores a daughter’s journey through her mothCROP er’s illness .93 and death; and, how she .93 carries on without her in every sense of the 4.17 word.4.28 “My mom died four and a half years ago, and so I started writing this book about her while I was taking care of her. I continued writing about her after she died,” Newman said. Newman wanted to
es of grief in hopes that others would get some comfort so that they may not feel so alone if they are experiencing the same. “Losing a mother is a very profound life-changing experience like no other, no matter how old you are,” said Newman, adding how she was in her late 50s when her mother passed away. For Newman, she believes her poem, “I Carry My Mother,” delivers a strong message. In this piece, she talks about all the ways she carries her, including physically. “Because physically, I’m very much like her,” she said. Another poem which resonates with readers is, My Mother Has My Heart. The first line reads: My mother has my heart and I have hers. “I feel like I carry her in my heart.
