The City of San Diego

Attention community-based organizations, local non-profits and community groups! The City of San Diego is looking for your help developing a Citywide Trails Master Plan. We invite you to apply to help us engage the community in our efforts to plan the future of our open space and urban trail connections. The Master Plan will guide the provision and enhancement of open space multi-purpose trails that serve pedestrians, hikers, bicyclists, mountain bikers and equestrians, where appropriate, and provide safe and convenient linkages to parks, recreation facilities and open space areas. Applications are due Aug. 2, and virtual office hours will be held on July 23 and 25 to answer questions. Visit the Citywide Trails Master Plan website for more information and to fill out the application: https://lnkd.in/gCH93KEf

Partnering with ICLEI, this effort will ensure the City’s sustainability goals align with the SDGs, which include targets such as achieving 100% renewable electricity by 2035 and net zero emissions by 2035.

This week, the City of San Diego's Public Utilities Department hosted members of the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board for a tour of San Vicente Reservoir and Dam. Thanks to two consecutive wet winters, the City is on track to use local water for more than 25% of our water supply this year, up from a typical yearly average of 10-15%! 💧   The City’s nine drinking water supply reservoirs and dams are crucial for increasing our use of local water and diversifying our water supply. As part of the tour, staff demonstrated how water is moved between reservoirs and drafted to our water treatment plants for use. They also touched on the City’s Dam Safety Program and highlighted several ongoing projects. #SanDiego

⛔ Respect our sea lions at La Jolla Cove. Keep a 50-foot distance at all times, especially during this pupping season. Sea lions are protected marine mammals. Do not disturb them! San Diego Chief Park Ranger Ruiz reminded visitors that sea lions are wild animals weighing up to 800 pounds, and have a strong jaw and can bite if provoked. #SanDiego #LaJolla #LaJollaCove
