March 18, 1974 An 800 unit development was being planned for a 220 acre canyon north of Pacific Beach--known as La Jolla Alta. TV 8's Kathleen Parker interviewed Mary Christian-Heising who was against the project in the open space. She headed the Soledad Canyon preservation group. Greg Lefevre attended a meeting at Martha Farnum Elementary School the next day where residents faced off with the developers. From La Jolla Historical Society: In March 1974 the city council rejected a master plan that called for another 808 homes on a 223-acre site when nearby residents objected to development in the canyon. Techbilt then submitted a scaled-back plan for a 649-unit development that preserved 165 acres for open space, most of it in the canyon, and this plan was accepted in September 1974. The La Jolla Alta community was constructed and Alta La Jolla Drive built across the canyon but most of what was once called Bone Canyon has so far been spared by the bulldozers. https://thewebsters.us/2019/08/
