D Street stairs closed indefinitely
Coast News:
The City of Encinitas has closed the D Street beach access staircase, citing emergency structural concerns that make it unsafe for public use.
The closure, announced Tuesday, is effective immediately and applies to the staircase at 404 W D Street. The staircase is a popular entry point to a stretch of beach running below the bluffs from Moonlight Beach south to Swami’s Point.
“Barricades will be installed to secure the area,” according to a city press release. “The staircase will remain closed until repairs can be made. The reopening date will be determined once further assessments are completed.”
