概要

 Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Saturday, February seventh.

We're starting with some big news from Balboa Park where the city has made a major reversal on parking fees. After weeks of public pressure and pushback from the City Council, the mayor has agreed to free parking for San Diego residents starting March second. If you live in the city, you'll be able to park for free in designated lots like Pepper Grove and several others. Enforcement of paid parking now ends at six p.m. instead of eight, and disabled placard holders can park anywhere in the park for free. The decision came after reports showed empty lots and low visitor numbers since fees began a month ago. The mayor cited concerns from residents and council members, though he notes other city services may need to be cut to offset the lost revenue from parking fees.

In other city news, we're watching developments at the Otay Mesa Detention Center where Congressman Juan Vargas was denied entry yesterday for an oversight inspection. The facility cited a Department of Homeland Security policy requiring lawmakers to request visits at least seven days in advance. Vargas had received reports that immigrant detainees at the facility weren't receiving fresh food, were getting sick repeatedly, and were being held in cold conditions. This comes after a CBS News report indicating that at least thirty people died in ICE detention centers in twenty twenty-five, marking the deadliest year on record for ICE detainees.

On a lighter note, the Hotel del Coronado has parted ways with Bill Pavlica, known locally as the Sandcastle Man, who has been creating sand sculptures outside the hotel for nearly twenty years. Hotel management says he violated policies including restrictions on political messages and alcohol consumption. The decision has sparked both sadness and outrage in the community, with many expressing how much his artistry has meant to visitors and locals alike.

Looking at the weather today, we're in for a beautiful Saturday with highs reaching the upper sixties to low seventies along the coast and into the mid-seventies inland. We're still under a high surf advisory through Sunday morning with waves of five to eight feet and sets reaching ten feet, so swimmers and surfers should use caution. Weak Santa Ana winds will bring northeast winds of twenty to forty miles per hour to inland and mountain areas. Tomorrow is looking even warmer with highs soaring into the seventies at the coast and upper seventies to low eighties inland, ten to fifteen degrees above average for early February.

Finally, the San Diego Toreros are looking to break a three-game losing streak today when they host Seattle U in basketball.
