City of Solana Beach
WEEKLY UPDATE
July 4, 2024
| |
The City would like to wish everyone a very happy Fourth of July holiday! Let's make this holiday memorable for all the right reasons by prioritizing safety, respecting regulations, and being mindful of our surroundings and our neighbors. Together, we can make this Fourth of July enjoyable and safe for all. We hope you all enjoy the holiday with family and friends, but please remember to enjoy the celebrations responsibly! | | |
|
Solana Circle Road Closure | As an important reminder, Solana Circle will once again be closed from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM on Thursday, July 4th due to the fireworks show at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. The road closures will be at the intersection of Solana Circle and Via de la Valle and Solana Circle and Nardo Avenue. No vehicles (besides public safety vehicles) will be allowed to enter or exit during the closure. | | |
|
The City would like to remind everyone that all fireworks, including sparklers and poppers, are banned from use in Solana Beach, Encinitas, and Del Mar. Fireworks can be unpredictable and pose serious risks, accounting for 44% of burn injuries in the month of July. They can also ignite structures and spark brushfires, jeopardizing lives and properties. To enjoy the dazzling displays safely, we encourage you to attend public fireworks shows at Legoland or the San Diego County Fair. These professional displays are conducted under controlled conditions, ensuring a spectacular and secure experience for everyone. | | |
|
Protect your pets this Fourth of July! Each year, this holiday sees a surge in stray animals entering shelters, often due to pets being frightened by fireworks. Take steps to prevent them from getting lost. License your dog, microchip them, use collars with contact info, consult a vet for stress-reducing meds, arrange for a pet sitter, create a safe home sanctuary, and keep dogs leashed. | |
Water Shutoff Scheduled for Stevens Avenue | | |

Please be advised, that there will be a planned water shutdown for Stevens Avenue on Wednesday, July 10th, anytime between 8:00 AM until 6:00 PM, to allow the contractor to cut and install a new service tee on the existing waterline. SFID will be inspecting the site and notifying affected customers starting this week. Please prepare accordingly and reach out to SFID with any questions or concerns. | |
