Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Saturday, September 20th.We are waking up to a mostly cloudy morning across San Diego, with temperatures hovering in the upper 60s along the coast and reaching into the high 70s inland by midday. The marine layer is sticking around, so if you have plans for the beach, expect it to be breezy with the possibility of lingering clouds. Looking ahead, clouds could bring some light showers late Sunday, but for most of today, our outdoor events are in good shape.Turning to our top stories, a tragic accident on the Lake Murray bike path grabbed our attention yesterday morning. San Diego police say two cyclists collided head-on just before sunrise near Baltimore Drive, leaving one cyclist dead and another in the hospital. The path is reopened now, but the accident has many of us thinking about bike safety in our parks and neighborhoods.In City Hall news, San Diego’s valet parking fees are on the table for a massive increase. The city wants to raise annual fees from the current six hundred dollars to more than ninety-five thousand for some downtown spaces, part of a parking reform to close a two hundred fifty million dollar budget shortfall. Local business leaders are voicing big concerns about how this might impact jobs and tourism, especially in the Gaslamp corridor.If you are an Escondido resident, expect changes on your next utility bill. The city just admitted to significant wastewater overcharges affecting nearly thirteen thousand customers. Those folks will see a credit, but another ten thousand people who were underbilled will pay about ten dollars more each month starting in January. The mayor has publicly apologized and says the city is working to make things right.On the crime front, a bartender at Moes Steakhouse in Mission Beach was stabbed seven times last night. Quick action from bystanders likely saved his life, and his condition is now stable in the hospital. San Diego Police have already made an arrest. Also, a Mira Mesa High School student was found with a loaded handgun yesterday, prompting a campus lockdown. The student was detained, and officials stressed that there was no active threat to students or staff, but it is a reminder to stay alert.For real estate and jobs, the market remains hot. The median home price in San Diego county sits just above eight hundred thousand dollars, and unemployment is hovering around four percent. We are seeing new restaurants opening in North Park and Little Italy, though some long-standing shops in Hillcrest are closing as rents continue to climb.It is a lively weekend for arts and culture. The Trolley Dances are back, transforming trolley stations from Fashion Valley to Fenton Parkway into pop-up stages throughout the weekend. Hundreds of students got a special preview, and organizers hope these performances will brighten commuters’ days. Music lovers can look forward to the Undersea Film Festival at the Natural History Museum, featuring films and talks with underwater photographers.Our local high schools are making us proud.
