- Bicycle Maintenance Stations: The City of Coronado’s two new “Bike Fixtations,” bicycle repair stations along the Bayshore Bikeway give bicyclists the ability to make quick repairs away from the path of travel. They were installed a few weeks ago at strategic locations along the popular Class I bikeway. One is located near Glorietta Boulevard and Fourth Street near the Golf Course. The other is located near Fiddler’s Cove. The stations have a stand to hold a bicycle by the seat post while simple maintenance is performed, as well as basic tools such as a screwdriver, Allen wrenches, and tire levers, and an air pump with a gauge securely attached.
UDT Tribute Statue: A preconstruction meeting was held to introduce the construction team on a project to install a bronze statue at Glorietta Bay Park to the City and to review the contract requirements. A notice to proceed on the construction of the “Naked Warrior” project was issued with a completion date of October 23. Coronado plans to unveil the statue on Veterans Day, November 11. The statue commemorates the elite men of the Navy’s Underwater Demolition Teams, or UDTs, of World War II. The figure is a Navy combat swimmer wearing shorts, fins and a face mask. The name was given to the UDT swimmer who often embarked on dangerous underwater missions equipped with minimal gear. The City Council accepted the statue and plaque in April as a gift from the National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum in Fort Pierce, Florida.
