Sooner or later, San Diego is going to have to confront the fact that it has legal obligations pulling it in opposite directions on climate change. 1/
This freeway widening was actually considered *mitigation* for all the development in northern San Diego. Development impact fees were paid specifically for its construction. Legally speaking, the city can’t just leave that $$$ unspent, or redirect it to another project. 2/
The city could attempt to return those fees to the developers who paid them. But let’s say they don’t want their money back. They want the freeway widened. So they sue the city to force it to pay for the project. 3/

Took ≈6 hours, but the San Diego City Council is finally taking up the $22.5 million expansion of the SR-56 freeway. Background: kpbs.org/news/environme… Image
Staff presentation will be about five minutes. Caltrans and city staffers are in the chambers.
"The planned implementation will encourage more carpooling."

Something to understand about the SR-56 widening (vote on Monday) is that it's funded with developer fees. Think about that. San Diego made housing *more expensive* so it could widen the freeway.

Here are some other projects with the same funding sources as these $22.5M 1/
The freeway widening's largest funding source ($12.1 million) is CIP Fund 200636. Also getting money from this fund ($64k): Citywide traffic calming projects.

Mayor Gloria is giving a freeway 189x more money from this fund than he's giving to projects that can save lives. 2/ Image
The mayor is also using $4.6 million from CIP Fund 200636 to pay for bathrooms, drinking fountains, walkways and landscaping at Hickman Fields in Kearny Mesa.

This neighborhood has *many* unfunded needs, especially considering how much growth is forecast in the next decade. 3/ Image

Some observations: For years I heard the city of SD say it wanted to improve streets “for all road users.” It carefully avoided speaking about the conflict between the wants of drivers (parking, speed) & safer streets. Last night I heard a change in tone. 1/
After the gut-wrenching testimony from @SDSafeStreets, I heard council members acknowledge that sometimes to save a life, you have to inconvenience drivers. And in a society with moral clarity, lives are more important. Spoke about this last year 👇🏻 2/ voiceofsandiego.org/2021/07/23/vos…
Minutes after last night’s press conference, an 85-year-old man died in a car crash as he drove the wrong way on Mission Gorge Road. This brings up an important point: Protected bike lanes, crosswalks, traffic calming etc. are the *low-hanging fruit.* 3/

Less than three months ago, San Diego promised to achieve net zero GHG emissions in 13 years. Now city staff, and by extension @MayorToddGloria, want to spend $22.5 million to expand a freeway.

The project would add 2.2 miles of HOV lanes to SR-56. The city says they’ll encourage carpooling and the rules of "induced demand" don't apply. This is the well-documented fact that freeway expansions put more cars on the road. 2/

In an interview last week, @CMJenCampbell made some comments I think are worth sharing. The selection of the council president, she said, "should be done behind the scenes" and "has nothing to do with the public." Here are her full, unedited remarks. 1/
To be clear, a "behind the scenes" selection of the council president would violate the Brown Act. In 2014, the council had to redo its council president vote because of suspicion that a deal had been struck in secret. 2/ kpbs.org/news/2014/dec/…
The most recent council pres vote certainly played out more publicly than any one prior. Montgomery Steppe had a huge coalition of community groups & individuals backing her, and Campbell did not. Campbell won the vote 5-4. 3/ kpbs.org/news/2020/dec/…
