LA JOLLA — District 1 City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner, Mayor Jerry Sanders, San Diego Fire-Rescue Department Chief Javier Mainar and city staff hosted a groundbreaking ceremony Monday at Kellogg Park in La Jolla Shores to showcase the construction of new projects on the La Jolla Shores lifeguard station and Kellogg Park parking lot. A state-of-the-art 1,485-square-foot lifeguard station will replace the existing facility to enhance the safety of beachgoers in the area, improve lifeguard staff safety and maximize views from the park by moving the station closer to the parking lot, said city officials. The new station will include an observation tower with a 270-degree view, a modern first-aid room, male and female locker rooms, administration areas and a staff ready room. City officials said the Kellogg Green Lot Infiltration Project will improve environmental protection of the area by replacing 18,000 square feet of asphalt with permeable pavers. The renovation will prevent stormwater and urban surface runoff from entering and damaging the marine diversity and potential for public use and research in the La Jolla Shores and the Scripps areas.
