“Really incredible news,” said Corey Bruins, president of the Ocean Beach Town Council. “Looks like this expansion is going to get off the ground after decades of effort!” The city library system will move forward with that process with the California Coastal Commission once it finishes gathering community input for the O.B. Library design, according to Jennifer McBride, senior public information officer for the city of San Diego.
Shannon Stoks, an architectural designer for the San Diego Engineering & Capital Projects Department’s in-house design team, said during the presentation that the city intended to return for another presentation once the coastal development permit process had begun.
