Residents Oppose CRMP

The Coastal Resilience Master Plan (CRMP) would convert Sunset Cliffs Boulevard to one-way, remove west-side parking, and expand pedestrian access to address climate-change impacts.
Leon Scales and Susan Winkie, Point Loma residents, say the changes could worsen traffic and disrupt neighborhood dynamics.
The city cites climate adaptation as the CRMP’s goal, while residents seek alternatives addressing peak-hour traffic.

West Haven residents approved a $16,000 contract with an acoustic firm to investigate the low-frequency hum after a petition with over 140 signatures.
The move addresses quality-of-life concerns as residents report stress and health issues linked to the noise, though some cannot hear it.
Experts note that low-frequency sounds are difficult to block and have been reported worldwide, often linked to industrial sources.
