Another injury at Blakespear’s cycle trap

Facebook:
This was the CycleTrap crash in the last Bike the Coast event. Anyone happen to know how the woman is doing? She seemed concussed at the time. She was behind the barriers and went down hard when her wheel hit the wheelstops. It seemed she had to swerve around something or was startled. No vehicles were involved (except for the ambulance which took her to hospital).


 


There have been numerous crashes serious enough for an ambulance ride at Blakespear's bike obstacles, and one fatality.

Wild weather

Nextdoor:
Okay that was a little wild…just drove my car through the eye of a little tornado and saw a dozen eucalyptus trees snap off at the intersection of Via Cantebria and Encinitas Blvd. Anyone else have any crazy encounters? 😳

Landscape designer runs for city council, opposes current majority

North Coast Current:
Lefkowits is positioning himself as an alternative to the current council majority, which includes Mayor Bruce Ehlers and councilmembers Luke Shaffer and Jim O’Hara, along with Marco San Antonio, who was appointed to the District 4 seat in January 2025.


UPDATE: And school board member Viskanta to challenge Ehlers for mayor. She'll have the Democratic Party endorsement and mailers, which might be enough. It worked for Blakespear, though she had much weaker opposition.
