State Water Resources Control Board just approved rules to divvy up $50 million from Proposition 4 for Water Cleaner projects along the Tijuana and New Rivers. Leaders from San Diego and Imperial counties are pushing hard for the cash, with at least 20 projects in line, but no single one will snag at all. Earlier this week, San Diego City Council voted unanimously to swap Cesar Chavez Day for Farm Worker's Day and rename Cesar Chavez Parkway to Chicano. This follows New York Times reports of sexual assault allegations against Chavez, based on over 60 interviews, sparking multiple renaming efforts. Citywide, Balbole Park Museums are hurting bad, with attendance down 34% from January to March since paid parking kicked in, ending over a century of free spots. Some spots dropped as much as 60%, and cultural leaders are urging regional bigwigs to step up before damage sticks. Meanwhile, Mayor Todd Gloria faces heat over his budget, slashing nearly $950,000 from the
Neil Good Day Center, a lifeline. For homeless folks with showers, laundry, and rest spots run by Father Joe's villages. La Mesa also passed an e-bike band for kids under 12, aiming to curb speeds up to 20 miles per hour. SeaWorld drops a revamped, shark encounter exhibit, May 22nd, featuring 11 species up close, while Earth Day spotlights local dock by. Nguyen, who's claimed thousands of beach items over seven years, fueling her push against plastic pollution and climate threats. San Diego's pulse is beating strong with these changes ahead.
