New Carlsbad park taking shape
Carlsbad city leaders marked the official start of construction of Alga Norte Community Park, the City of Carlsbad's newest park, which will include pools, ball fields, a skate park, a dog park, a new playground and other amenities that support a healthy outdoor lifestyle for Carlsbad residents.
The 32-acre park site at the corner of Poinsettia Lane and Alicante Road, just east of El Camino Real. The park is scheduled to open in late 2013.
The approved park design includes an Olympic-sized pool with viewing bleachers, a 12-lane swim instruction pool, a spa, a kids pool and other amenities including lighted baseball/softball fields, basketball courts, picnic areas with barbecues, a playground, a skateboard park and an off-leash dog park.
SDG&E expects to meet summer power demand
Summer typically means warmer weather and increased air conditioning use. This summer, SDG&E reminds customers that, while adequate electricity supplies are lined up to meet customers' energy needs, conservation and demand response will still be vital during extremely hot weather or an unplanned development.
"SDG&E has been working hard to plan for the summer to ensure that customers' summer electricity needs are met," said Jessie J. Knight, Jr., SDG&E's chairman and CEO. "When the Sunrise Powerlink is energized, this will help increase the local power supply and improve the situation in San Diego by increasing the amount of imports into the region."
Despite having adequate electric resources, conditions are subject to change due to unexpected situations that may be out of our control. High air conditioning use during summer heat waves or electric transmission emergencies can have severe impacts on SDG&E's ability to deliver power. "Southern California faces a challenging electrical resource situation this summer because the region's largest power plant, the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, will remain offline for most of the summer," added Michael R. Niggli, SDG&E's president and chief operating officer.
