Blakespear road obstacle injuries: they're not just for bicyclists anymore!

Facebook:
#14. medical emergency 1035am 6/9/2020. Reported by Elaine Miller: "guy on an electric unicycle [one wheel skate board] hit one of the barriers, crashed and husband called 911 who said if he didn’t have to go to the hospital they wouldn’t do anything. A Sherrif gave the guy a ride to the house place he was staying. He was shamed up and bloody"

Road hazard


This looks like an acknowledgement that the Blakespear bike obstacles are inherently dangerous.

What's the long-term plan? Permanent orange cones around the white paint and green plastic pylons?

This may be the location of the most recent serious bicycle injury, which was reported as northbound, but it's odd that only this one location gets orange cones while serious accidents have occured all along the new barriers.

Huge Paddle Out at Moonlight for George Floyd

Fox 5:
Thousands gathered Wednesday evening at Moonlight State Beach in Encinitas for a paddle out to celebrate George Floyd’s life and take a stand for change.

Lifeguards estimate anywhere from 3,000 to 5,000 people took part in the powerful demonstration.

Before the paddle out began there was a long moment of silence: eight minutes and 46 seconds, the amount of time Floyd was held down for before dying. X Games host and former Encinitas resident Sal Masekela recited some of Floyd’s final words during the moment of silence.

Lazy Acres boarded up in anticipation of looting



Online rumors are that there's a riot planned at Moonlight Beach tonight, but given that other businesses seem pretty relaxed, it's probably just Lazy Acres boarding up all of their locations out of caution.
