Today's riddle: What do an island and the letter "t" have in common? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Encinitas to explore impacts of the return of red light cameras (thecoastnews.com) — Encinitas drivers should know the City Council has ordered a detailed study on bringing back red-light cameras under California's new SB 720 pilot program, including where cameras might go and how fines would work. The 4–1 vote followed sharp debate over safety, privacy, and crash data from past camera use at Encinitas Boulevard, El Camino Real, and other key intersections, with residents and experts weighing in on both sides.
• Encinitas school district settles lawsuit over gender identity lesson (sandiegouniontribune.com) — Encinitas families should know that Encinitas Union School District has settled a lawsuit over a gender-identity lesson at La Costa Heights Elementary and agreed to pay $175,000. More importantly, the district has changed its policy to require at least five days' notice and an opt-out option for lessons that could substantially interfere with a family's religious beliefs, aligning with a recent Supreme Court ruling.
• Bluff failure leads to Grandview Beach access closure (northcoastcurrent.com) — Access to Grandview Beach in Encinitas' Leucadia neighborhood is closed after a bluff failure prompted officials to shut the stairway and warn of further potential collapses within 300 feet. Crews are working on the problem, but there's no reopening timeline yet. The closure follows recent repairs to the staircase and recalls a deadly 2019 bluff collapse that spurred new safety research.
