301 University decision postponed ’til 9/12
The struggle between pressure to build infill housing in urbanized areas and the backlash from citizens who say their neighborhoods weren’t built for that density...“Smart growth” means creating clusters that encourage pedestrianism and stimulate public transportation. But what good is the idea if people can’t leave their cars at home because the city has a woeful transit system and not nearly enough money to fix it? (CityBeat)
A continuance was granted until
September 12 for the City Council to decide if 301 University (96 new condos, each with one parking space) is a
go. The project will replace the one-story structures in this photo
(Fourth and University) with a 12-story project. Perhaps
new building projects should stop until San Diego’s community
resources (especially public transportation and our aging
infrastructure) catch up to neighborhood needs.

A huge crane blocked Sixth Avenue traffic at Upas Street yesterday as the large dormant hole was a-buzz with construction equipment. Mi Arbolito, a 14-story residential project at the northwest corner of Balboa Park, has been in litigation for the past few years.

Sad. Someone vandalized the Vermont Street pedestrian bridge yesterday afternoon between noon and 2pm. It seems as if a car plowed down the two blue lighted batons on the north side of the bridge then proceeded to drive across the bridge and ran down the temporary aluminum post on the south side.
San Diego City Street Division took away the destroyed batons to see if they can be repaired. SDPD took a vandalism report. Steve Satz and other UHCA members have worked hard over the last year to raise funds for repairs to the south side of the bridge. If anyone witnessed this act, please contact the police department.
Help find these jerks!
