Tour bus knocks over fire hydrant on Coast Boulevard

A tour bus bound for La Jolla Cove knocked over a fire hydrant on Coast Boulevard the morning of Oct. 18, sending water into the sky and down the street toward the ocean. The amount of water and extent of the damage was not immediately available, but witnesses said the water was “running down the street all day.”

Nearby resident Brenda Fake, a member of the La Jolla Cove Access Working Group, said the city of San Diego is “entertaining [the idea of] making buses drop off on Prospect Street and making tourists walk to The Cove.” An update on that was not immediately available.

The working group has been drafting proposals and having meetings with the city to help reduce unsafe interactions between people and sea lions at The Cove.
