The Oceanside City Council voted unanimously Nov. 20 to approve a recommended location for the “Living Speed Bumps” sand management concept at Tyson Street Park and at Wisconsin Avenue.
Thirty-one votes. That’s the number currently separating Oceanside mayoral frontrunner and incumbent Esther Sanchez and District 3 Councilman Ryan Keim after updated election results from the San Diego County Registrar of Voters as of Nov. 15.
