Residents on and near Via Capri in La Jolla’s Hidden Valley neighborhood have been rattled lately by street work involving hours of loud construction each day — and there's no immediate end in sight.

The Kiwanis Club says it will ask for donations to help return the banner to a pedestrian bridge over Torrey Pines Road. In the meantime, it again is on a resident’s retaining wall.
