SD puts brakes on boardwalk DecoBikes
LEMON-AID IN PB TO HELP FLOOD VICTIMS
Rental bike stations being removed from Pacific and Mission beaches, Ocean Beach By DAVE SCHWAB
Nora and Hazel Saldaña, 3-year-old twins of Conor and Kim Saldaña, raised more than $200 for the American Red Cross relief effort in Texas by selling lemonade on the corner of Fanuel and Loring streets over the weekend. Their dad grew up on Loring Street and had many a lemonade stand himself. They were helped by their aunt, Maeve Saldaña (behind the table), a 2016 Mission Bay High graduate, and their first customer was Jake Armstrong (right) of Pacific Beach.
The months-long battle between Pacific and Mission beaches business owners and the city over boardwalk bike share stations is apparently over. In a somewhat surprising development, the city and DecoBike have now both backed off on boardwalk bike-sharing. “The city, per discussions with DecoBike, will focus on expanding the bike station locations by increasing the use of bike share for transit connectivity and short trips, which continues to sup-
port the city’s Climate Action Plan efforts and mobility hub plans,” said Stacey LoMedico, the city's assistant chief operating officer. “As a result, the city is proposing new locations in the urban core areas, which will be presented to the appropriate community planning groups. “Based on this current focus,” continued LoMedico, “DecoBike will remove and relocate the bike stations listed below to urban locations through a city community outreach process.

Former town council president Jolley named Pacific Beach Citizen of the Year By MATHILDE ROUSSEAU BJERREGAARD
Catherine Jolley
Catherine Jolley, the former Pacific Beach Town Council president, was named this year’s Citizen of the Year for Pacific Beach. Jolley received the honor for the continued support she has provided and for the season-open-
ing breakfast she organized for all lifeguard divisions together. Every 10 years, the lifeguards hold a division meeting before the summer season begins. Jolley organized an opening breakfast for this year’s lifeguard meeting and received a lot of donations for the event. For example,
each lifeguard received a gift bag. “I think it has been an honor to work with the lifeguards and to be a part of the lifeguard organization. They have a beautiful culture and camaraderie,” Jolley said. Jolley works with the Pacific Beach Town Council as well as the San Diego
Police Department Northern Division Captain Advisory Board. She is also teaching in El Cajon. Jolley thinks Pacific Beach is the best place to live in San Diego. “It is a good place raise your family and in the last few years the community has really come together,” she said.
