City Council yesterday voted to begin charging a $2 fee for enjoying the plants in Balboa Park’s Botanical Building. This 90-year-old lath house was the dream of San Diego Floral Association founding president, Alfred D. Robinson.
The move was made in hopes of
collecting an additional $210K to help with the city’s budget in balance.
The council rejected the idea to charge
non-San Diegans for use of city-owned
parking lots at the beaches and bays.
Annual lost revenue: $1.15 million
