Free trolleys, buses to stare rolling today

The Laguna Beach summer trolley service runs today through Aug. 30. The city’s mainline transit service is also free during this time.

The trolley service runs along three main routes.

The Laguna Canyon Road route runs between the downtown bus depot and the Act V parking lot, where parking is $7 all day. This service begins at 8:30 a.m. to allow downtown and Festival employees to park at the remote lot with a parking pass for $20.

Uncle to make ride in support of Make A Wish

Dave Rusk, a Laguna Beach County Water District employee for 22 years, adopted his nephew Dylan when his father died.

Dylan, 9, has leukemia, the same disease that killed his father, Rusk’s brother, almost a year ago.

The youngster wanted to be an Orange County Sheriff for a day and Make a Wish Foundation made it happen.

To repay the foundation, Rusk will ride a motorcycle from Dana Point to Alaska starting July 4 to raise funds for the Make a Wish Foundation.

“The ride will be challenging, but nothing compared to the challenges faced by these kids,” Rusk said at the June 16 City Council meeting.

Mayor Kelly Boyd called Rusk to the podium at the meeting to tell his story.

Fliers are posted at the Marine Room, which Boyd owns, Laguna Auto Supply, Mandarin King restaurant and other locations.
