The Lido Call To Action Regarding River Area Fires
Lido Residents,
We hope this message finds you well.
We are writing to bring urgent attention to a matter that affects the safety, wellbeing, and quality of life for all residents of The Lido and the surrounding Mission Valley community. Over the past week, three separate fires have occurred along the San Diego Riverwalk adjacent to our property.

Our collective voices can make a powerful impact and help drive the city toward implementing necessary safety measures, increasing patrols, and ensuring that preventive actions are taken.
