🌊☀️ If you’re heading to the coast this weekend, construction is underway to replace the beach stairs and widen the sidewalk on Carlsbad Blvd, just south of Pine Ave. 🚶♀️🚴♂️ While the sidewalk is closed, please don’t walk or run in the temporary bike lane. Instead, use the lower seawall or cross the street at marked crosswalks and use the sidewalk on the east side. 💙 Thanks for your patience during construction — we appreciate it!
