How much will it cost to fish at La Jolla? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The article says that the reason for the pay parking would be to increase open spaces and not generate revenue. Well, unless they are going to use the proceeds to build a parking garage, the number of parking spaces will stay the same. So either they are trying to discourage people from coming by having pay parking and creating more open spaces, or they are lying and trying to generate revenue.

Probably just an attempt by a few rich La Jollans to make "their" beach too expensive for "undesireables" while relieving some of the city's financial woes. Like kurt pointed out, no new spaces will be added. In fact, they plan on removing street parking altogether unless you are a resident. Given supply and demand I can imagine it becoming very expensive to park there during the summer months. Really is too bad what's happening to this city. Might as well officially merge us with Los Angeles.

I read the link provided by the UT. A large part of the funds, ~40% will go to enforcement. If they used it to keep the launch ramp from caving in everytime it rained, and kept the raw sewage runoff off the beach I wouldn't complain too much. I am most worried about the time limit.

Time limits or time of day restrictions could only be bad. I'm sure there will be a public comment period once they settle on some alternatives. Like Patrick said it will probably be quite awhile before anything is officially implemented. I just hope they don't implement some sort of severely restricted pilot program under the guise of collecting more information.

Kayakers and other early morning launch users are probably a relative small user group. We'll all have to make a lot of noise to be heard.

Welll, when the time for making noise does present itself, we'll have to have a party in front of some politicians house.... Just let me know when and where and we'll, at the very least, be heard!

This isn't just parking meters. This is time limits. This could really screw us.

You all need to do more than just complain on the boards.
This is an issue we can do something about. I'm sure most people working on this issue do not understand how it would impact all of us. I wrote to three local congressmen, and the women mentioned in the article last night. I suggest that everyone who cares about this issue do the same. Only takes a few minutes. Let them know how we take our kids out for wholesome recreation, and how parking limits will hinder us.

The group promoting this idea is "Promote La Jolla". President is Deborah Morengo,

Let em know how we feel.
