FINALLY . . . PAVING NEWPORT AVENUE

Newport Avenue will be repaved in early February according to Conrad Wear from Councilmember Lorie Zapf’s office. It should take a few days or so to do the job. We will work with the contractor to make the whole thing go as quickly as possible. There will be limited parking on Newport as they go along the avenue. Hopefully they will do one side and then the other. We don’t have their schedule just yet.

Should you run into any problems, please let us know by emailing us at info@oceanbeachsandiego.com.
