LJ Parking FYI - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

JohnOEX · 10-17-2007, 09:40 AM

Morning everybody, thought I'd chime in here and get involved in the paid parking discussion, as I've been involved in many discussions in relation to the parking issue in and around La Jolla Shores recently. By the way, I'm John and I'm partners with Brent over at OEX. I'm responsible for the dive end of our organization and also I'm better looking. Also, I've been a Board Member of the La Jolla Shores Association and other community groups in La Jolla for a number of years now.

The paid parking issue is a complex one. It is supported by some, and opposed by others. Would it help or hurt businesses in the Shores? I'm not sure, but I do know I don't like the idea. I would suggest those that feel strongly about this issue to get involved. Learn the facts, attend meetings and send letters. I can tell you the Parking Committee probably does not read this forum so I would encourage active participation if this is an issue you feel strongly about.

I understand that attending meetings and taking time out of your busy day can be a drag but it does make a difference. It's important to remember that somebody will be voicing his/her opinion on the subject, it might as well be you. Thanks, good luck out there!

Did they put some sort of public notice that they were canceling the meeting today? I didn't see anything on the website. It sucks spending that much time in traffic to get there only to find out that the place is empty.

Hmm, that's lame.

Doug thanks for trying.

Pretty John, welcome on board.

Wish I would've thought of PrettyJohn as a user name first, Adi. Oh well. As for the Parking Meeting cancellation, it was due to the fact that they didn't post an agenda prior to 72 hours of the scheduled meeting, which by rule means they need to postpone. No word on a reschedule but if I hear of anything, I'll pass it along...

Dave or Dave, where can I get a copy of the proposal / plan? If I have a hard copy, I can see if I can persuade my wife to take a look at it. She is always pretty busy, but as some of us know, she is also a pretty savy litigation lawyer that may just see a way to slow or stop this beast; You never know... and it would be great if I could do something more than just sit and complain about my inconveniences to the advisory board....
