CELEBRATING A HERO’S LIFE
On July 31, SD Fire-Rescue fire engineer Ryan Ferrara’s family and friends gathered for a private memorial in his honor and later that day they held a paddle out ceremony in Pacific Beach next to Crystal Pier. Above, Jen Huyck reaches out to Timmy Ferrara during the paddle out to celebrate Ferrara’s life. Prior to his 13 years with SDFD, Ferrara was a San Diego lifeguard in Pacific Beach and a longtime instructor for the San Diego Junior Lifeguard program. Ferrara, 39, was tragically killed in a motorcycle crash on Piping Rock Lane on July 18. PHOTO BY JOHN COCOZZA
City delays citations for parking, street sweeping violations
D
ue to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Mayor Kevin L. Faulconer has directed City of San Diego staff to delay full enforcement of parking regulations until Sept. 1. The City will continue limited enforcement until then. Parking enforcement has been limited to holiday or Sunday regulations in the City of San Diego since March 16. During that time, the City has suspended citations for vehicles violating street sweeping parking restrictions, metered parking, time limits and yellow commercial zones. Citations have continued to be
issued for vehicles parked illegally at red, white and blue painted curbs. Street sweeping has continued throughout the public health emergency. During the limited enforcement period until Sept. 1, citations with corresponding fines will not be issued to vehicles parked in street sweeping zones. View an interactive map and street sweeping schedules by visiting tinyurl.com/ycwn5cjp. Prior to March, the City typically processed an average of 42,000 parking citations per month. In the month of April, the City issued 1,704 parking citations for violations of the
holiday or Sunday regulations. While restarting parking enforcement is seen as one small step toward restoring San Diego’s economy by allowing for increased turnover of customers in business districts, many residents are still working from home or dealing with job losses due to COVID-19. Extending the limited enforcement of parking regulations will provide additional relief to those residents. Other jurisdictions in San Diego County have continued to enforce metered parking, so drivers are encouraged to review posted signage
when looking for a parking space. To learn more about parking rules in the City of San Diego, and to pay or appeal a citation online, visit sandiego.gov/parking. “We know many San Diegans are facing financial hardship during this difficult time, and the last thing we want to do is add another burden like having to pay for a parking ticket,” Faulconer said. “Delaying full parking enforcement is simply the right thing to do as we work together as a community to recover and rebound from this deadly pandemic.”
