Here are the top stories today in San Diego: Mayor Todd Gloria signed an ordinance authored by City Councilwoman Marni von Wilpert officially banning firearms without individual serial numbers — so-called "ghost guns" — in the city in an attempt to address increasing gun violence. The ordinance, known as Eliminate Non-serialized Untraceable Firearm Ordinance, prohibits the possession, purchase, sale, receipt and transportation of non-serialized, unfinished frames and receivers, and non-serialized firearms, all of which are commonly known as ghost guns. (City News Service) In a move to separate cyclists and scooter riders from cars on Pershing Drive, Mayor Todd Gloria directed city staff to install bollards to create bikeways in both directions. The action was intended as a temporary measure until the San Diego Association of Governments begins construction on permanent protected bikeways on Pershing Drive, where two San Diegans recently lost their lives after being struck by cars. (City News Service)Maps released of earthquake-prone areas are intended to ensure new construction in San Diego does not take place atop earthquake faults that may break the surface. Developed by the California Geological Survey, these regulatory Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone maps detail where local governments must require site-specific geologic and engineering studies for proposed developments to ensure this hazard is identified and avoided.
