Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in San Diego public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Tijuana sewage emergency
The council again declared a continued emergency over raw sewage, solid waste and sediment crossing from Tijuana — a problem residents in the South Bay have lived with for decades. Commenters urged the city to push for industrial source control rather than repeat declarations.
La Jolla Cove sea lion protection
Sea Club docents say visitors keep harassing nursing sea lions and pups, and lifeguards and rangers are giving conflicting instructions. They asked the council to direct the city to station rangers on the beach, set buffer zones, and close the western stairs when sea lions are present.
Disposable vape ban request
A parent and planning group member praised the city's tobacco retailer licensing enforcement and asked the city to make it easier for residents to file complaints about smoke shops near schools.
