Beach Accessibility Mats:  The City expects to have beach accessibility mats in place by the end of April. The City Council agreed to purchase and install mats at Central, North Beach and Dog Beach to make traversing even the City’s widest beaches easier for those with mobility issues. The Parks and Recreation Commission endorsed the project and Public Services staff members are making some last-minute adjustments to the designs for each location. Once finalized, the project will go out for bid in as soon as a few weeks. The photos below show demonstration mats.

Emergency Alerts: Everyone with an address in Coronado should be getting a postcard in the mail from the Coronado Fire Department, encouraging them to sign up for emergency alerts through San Diego County’s Alert San Diego system. It provides the best way to reach those who live, work or go to school in Coronado quickly with information as to a specific emergency and what protective action is expected. It is one of many tools that will be used during a major emergency. Sign up your mobile phone to receive alerts at http://www.readysandiego.org/alertsandiego/. The Fire Department is working to get as many people as it can to enroll in the system.

Pothole Complaints: City Hall continues to receive concerns and complaints about potholes, specifically with the number of potholes on the right of way on Third Street between the San Diego-Coronado Bridge and E Avenue. The roadway is owned and managed by the California Department of Transportation. City crews have been placing cold patch, meaning cold asphalt, into the holes. Unfortunately, this section of the roadway needs more extensive repairs. The City has been communication with Caltrans, which has committed to an emergency repair project.
