A city spokesman said persistent criminal activity prompted the closure of the lot at the western tip of Robb Field.
A city spokesman said persistent criminal activity prompted the closure of the lot at the western tip of Robb FieldFour months after it was abruptly padlocked, a free city public parking lot near the shore in Ocean Beach remains off-limits to cars, a pair of sun-bleached printed signs hanging from the gates telling people that the lot would"be locked indefinitely due to safety issues."
However, there “are no plans to open the lot at this time, but we will continue to monitor and evaluate the possibility of opening the lot in the future,” Cartwright said in an email. Motorists instead are being directed by the city to park in the Robb Field lots to the east, some of which are also near the San Diego River Bikeway.
Since the closure, crime is way down in the Ocean Beach parking lot, according to Cartwright:"... its closure has resulted in a reduction in vandalism, overnight camping and other illegal activities that had been an issue with this lot for several years."
