But it's not. Lol! Thinking back to high school in the late 60s, I think this is the 5th time it's been beat by the weather. |

Last week after one of the latest King Tides the drop to the sand at the end of the road was 15" to 24" and solid concrete. I guess that it was only that thick at the end for a short distance. Once the waves got under that, it was easy to undermine the street where the concrete is not as thick, as witnessed in the pictures. I think it would be hard to make any kind of end that would not break, unless it was 10' deep into the sand and had multiple footing that deep running a good 50' up the street about 4' apart and then the street on top, with concrete about 20" thick. The answer is "that's not going to happen". They will just fill it in and it will last till the next crazy king tide storm that happen every few years.

My cousin Felipe said that him and his two two compadres can have new concrete laid by Sunday, he also said he'd guarantee the work for at 5years.

I don't doubt that! Everytime I meet with a City that want's to do some upgrades, after they see the quotes the projects get put on hold! Everyone want's upgrades, but nobody wants to spend the money.

Pour a couple dump truck loads of sand on top, pack it down, and your good to go. Just repeat after every storm. So the sand starts 40' closer than it used to.

That's pretty much how they could fix it and not keep having repeated problems. Just take out the concrete on 1/3 of the block, just keep the side walks and the sand would not get washed away and it would be easier to just regrade the sand after bad storms, because it would not have washed it all away.

That will work if this is the smallest storm we're expecting. However, if the storms get any bigger I'm sure it won't be the street they'll have to worry about

Than we would be launching from the monument at top of Mount Soledad, then again if the water was that high. It would be Soledad Island we would be visiting or more correctly " Isla Soledad".

They ought to build a 4 foot deep concrete footing at the end of the road with a retractable barrier or leave a k-rail on the edge of the road that can be moved into place during a storm. This would make it basically an extension of the sea wall during these events.

KUSI just showed a live shot of the launch and it's worse than the picture that I posted. Never underestimate the power of the ocean and mother nature.

Eventually everything yields to the power of water. I worked in the water industry for 30 years and saw it take out giant concrete pours. Just fix it for right now because you can't throw enough money at it to make it last forever.

Is there any spot you can wheel straight down and avoid steps? If I don't have to drag my pro angler down steps that would be awesome.

I was already thinking the same thing. It's only 3 steps. Or just bring a shovel and make a sand ramp!! Wouldn't take more then a couple minutes to fill the stairs, and no ones going to tell me no at 6am!
