Beach Sand Replenishment at Fletcher Cove Beach

Beach Sand Replenishment at Fletcher Cove Beach
As part of Build NCC and the ongoing restoration efforts in the San Elijo Lagoon, crews are set to begin pumping beach quality sand onto Fletcher Cove Beach located along South Sierra Avenue in the City of Solana Beach.

This work began Saturday, April 28, and is anticipated to take approximately four weeks to complete. Beach replenishment operations will take place 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Crews will pump 146,000 cubic yards of sand from the lagoon and place it on Fletcher Cove Beach, continuing the process of replenishing a portion of the North County shoreline.

During beach replenishment work, beach-goers can expect limited access around work areas and nearby residents and businesses can expect intermittent noise and lights.
For questions, call 844.NCC.0500 or 
email BuildNCC@KeepSanDiegoMoving.com.

SANDAG Regional Transportation Plan Open House

SANDAG Regional Transportation Plan Open House
Wednesday, April 25th, 5:30 to 7:30 pm, at the Encinitas Public Library
The Regional Transportation Plan is required to be updated every 4 years. The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) is starting work to develop an updated big-picture vision for our region as well as an implementation program to make that vision a reality. San Diego Forward: The 2019-2050 Regional Plan, once adopted, will lay out a comprehensive path forward for our region, taking into account how our approach to land use, transportation, technology, infrastructure, open space, and the environment can evolve to meet our region's growing and changing needs. The Regional Plan is intended to represent all the different communities and constituencies that encompass our diverse region, one more reason why SANDAG needs participation by the community.
 
To gain a robust dialogue with community leaders, stakeholders, and the general public, SANDAG is hosting a series of open houses throughout the County.  

In our area, SANDAG is hosting an open house on Wednesday, April 25th, 5:30 to 7:30 pm, at the Encinitas Public Library.

SOLANA ENERGY ALLIANCE (SEA)

SOLANA ENERGY ALLIANCE (SEA)

The City is excited to announce the next significant step in providing our community
a choice in energy service providers. 
As the City works towards the June 1st launch of the Solana Energy Alliance (SEA), we have entered into the 60-day countdown to launch. As you may already have received the first enrollment notice in the mail with detailed information on the new energy program. The City has been actively exploring the formation of SEA for over 7 years and is excited to offer the County's first Community Choice Energy program. As of June 1st, SEA will be the default energy provider and will offer the following benefits to those that remain in the program:
 
  • Higher renewable energy content (50% renewable, 75% Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions-free)
  • Lower costs (3% reduction in the energy costs compared to SDG&E)
  • More local control (the City Council oversees the program, 
  • including setting rates in a public forum)
  • More choice for customers (currently, the only choice is SDG&E)
  • Higher credit compensation for Net Energy Metering (NEM) customers (i.e., solar)
  • Continued Billing by SDG&E - customers will continue to receive one bill from SDG&E with SEA's lower energy costs separately identified
In case you have not been keeping up with the many public meetings and workshops over the past several years, the City has also developed a dedicated website that contains more information on the program details and includes, among other things, a FAQ, rate schedule and rate comparison. There is also a dedicated call center (858-720-4422) where you can talk to someone to get more information and get your questions answered.  
 
SEA will help Solana Beach lead the way in reducing GHG emissions, improving the quality of life and meeting its Climate Action Plan goals. The Solana Energy Alliance invites you to catch a New Wave of Energy for Solana Beach!
