City-Wide Pavement Project

City-Wide Pavement Project
The City’s annual pavement repair and rehabilitation project is underway. Starting Wednesday, December 16th, the City’s contractor will be repairing damaged pavement in local streets throughout the City during regular business hours (7:30 am to 4:30 pm).

Due to the high speed and volume of traffic on Lomas Santa Fe Drive, especially near the freeway ramps, the pavement repair work will be performed during nighttime between 9:00 pm and 6:00 am, Sunday, December 20th until Wednesday, December 23rd. 

Please pay extra attention to the construction and traffic control signs when traveling through work zones. City Staff will be monitoring all construction activities to minimize the impact.

If you have any concerns or specific questions, please contact the Engineering Department at (858) 720-2470.

Santa's Sleigh Ride Coming Near You!

The City of Solana Beach and the Solana Beach Parks and Recreation Commission invite you to
SANTA'S SLEIGH RIDE
Friday, December 18th, 2:30 PM - 5:00 PM
2020 has certainly been a challenging year for everyone. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to reimagine the way we do many things. Sadly, this includes having to cancel this year’s annual Tree Lighting event. However, the Tree is up at Fletcher Cove and we are very happy to announce that Santa will still be coming to town this year and hitting the road in style!!
 
Come join your friends and neighbors (practicing social distancing, of course) in welcoming Santa Claus to Solana Beach! Children are encouraged to make posters thanking our First responders and health care providers, as Santa will be riding along with Fire, Sheriff and Marine Safety personnel to spread Holiday Cheer across the City.
 
The Sleigh Ride will be starting and ending at the Solana Beach Fire Station, located at 500 Lomas Santa Fe Drive. Please view the map below to find the estimated time when Santa will be near you. 
Masks & social distancing required.

Please stay on the sidewalk in groups with only your immediate family as Santa passes by.

For more information, please call the Parks and Rec Department at (858) 720-2453.

Red Flag Warning + Elevated Fire Conditions

Red Flag Warning + Elevated Fire Conditions
The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for inland Orange County and San Diego County valleys and mountains beginning Wednesday (12/2/2020) at 6 p.m. and lasting through 10 p.m. Saturday (12/5/2020) due to Santa Ana Winds, dry fuels, and elevated fire danger. 

To protect fire-prone communities in its service territory, SDG&E has announced that it may need to initiate Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) as a measure of last resort to reduce fire risk.

SDG&E has notified customers who live in high fire risk areas potentially impacted by a Public Safety Power Shutoff. These notifications were either made via outbound dialer calls, text messages, or emails. 

Based on current weather trends, SDG&E projects that multiple locations may experience Public Safety Power Shutoffs. For up-to-date information on areas that may be potentially affected, please visit sdge.com/ready. You can also download the “SDG&E Alerts” app to get information from your phone.

One ember is all it takes to start a major brush fire. Please help us reduce the risk of wildfire by following these guidelines:

  • Never mow or trim dry grass on a Red Flag Day or Santa Ana Wind Day. Mow before 10 a.m. on a day when it is not hot and windy.
  • Never use lawn mowers in dry vegetation.
  • Spark arresters are required on all portable gasoline-powered equipment.
  • Residents should make sure they have defensible space around structures.
  • Focus on the first 5 feet around your structure, removing combustible items such as patio furniture or stacks of wood.
  • Remove leaves and needles from gutters.
  • Protect openings in structures where hot embers can enter.
  • Never drive your vehicle or trailer through dry grass when it is hot and windy.
