Great blue heron fishing at Buena Vista Lagoon. This lagoon has had my heart since I was a child. Sadly, developers have filled quite a bit of it working to destroy California’s ONLY freshwater lagoon. But nature persists, to a much lesser degree. There was a promise that the the compacted reeds and sediment would be removed, many years later nothing has been done. I thank G-d every time I see wildlife here, praying it will someday be restored. #beachbombshells #buenavistalagoon #freethelagoon #sandag #buenavistaaudubon #ilovebirds #seabirds #blueheron #carlsbadcalifornia #wildlife #nature #letnaturebenature #overdevelopmentsucks #overdevelopment https://www.instagram.com/p/CFSYHbChmGF/?igshid=1t0hc82ctsv4p

Border to Bayshore Bikeway Community Meeting presented by SANDAG -- Thursday, May 25, 2017 6-8 p.m., Southwest High School, 1685 Hollister St, San Diego, CA 92154 -- The Border to Bayshore Bikeway is an approximately 8.5-mile regional corridor that will provide safe biking connections within and between Imperial Beach, the San Ysidro community of San Diego, and the world’s busiest land border crossing at the San Ysidro Port of Entry. The bikeway will provide an active and healthy choice for people to travel between Tijuana and San Diego. It also will make it safer and easier for people of all ages and comfort levels to bike to commercial centers, schools, transit stations, and other community destinations within San Ysidro and Imperial Beach, including the Imperial Beach Pier and the Bayshore Bikeway. View the project’s fact sheet in English and en Español. Current Activities: The conceptual planning phase of the Border to Bayshore Bikeway will begin in early 2017. During this phase, SANDAG will work closely with the community, border stakeholders, and the cities of San Diego and Imperial Beach to establish the project goals, define the alignment, and develop preliminary conceptual designs. This phase is expected to be completed by mid-2017 when the project will transition into the preliminary engineering and environmental analysis phase, which will extend through mid-2018. #SANDAG #Bicycling #Bicycle #ActiveTransportation #GoByBike #SDCAN #BikeWay #ClimateChange @SDBikeCoalition @SanDiegoBikeBlog @SdBikeParty @SDBikeFest (at Southwest Senior High)

Our September meeting focused on one of the most important ballot measures this November – Measure A is the best plan SANDAG has yet proposed, but how good is it? Do we want to lock future generations locked into transport schemes from the last century?

As Susan was busy with her house move, Jonathan Wubbolding chaired the meeting (and gave the treasurer’s report). He began by welcoming

guests

new and returning members who joined at last month’s Party including Sandy and Jim Howland, and Cynara Kidwell

volunteers at last month’s Summer Potluck and BBQ

volunteers at Saturday’s Politifest

Jonathan also asked for volunteers for the OB Holiday Parade – Saturday December 3rd.

He then introduced our main program about a measure on the ballot this November that could determine how we’ll get around San Diego County for the next 40 years. Transportation affects the quality of lives – how we get to work, how we get to the beach. It shapes the growth of our cities, and the health of children and seniors.

Anthony Montalvo spoke for the measure and Gretchen Newsom against. Jonathan took a straw poll at the end of the discussion, where the measure was defeated but with a substantial number of undecideds.

For more of the detail of the discussion there’s a great write up of the meeting on the OB Rag website from our own South OB Girl.

Our next meetings:

Sunday October 23 – with Anne Hoiberg & Howard Wayne on November ballot Propositions and Measures

Sunday December 4 – Holiday Party at Ruth’s house

Sunday January 22 – Steve Natoli – Liberally Speaking: Why Liberalism is Right for America

  Notes from the September Meeting – Measure A – How to Get Around for the Next 40 Years? Our September meeting focused on one of the most important ballot measures this November - Measure A is the best plan SANDAG has yet proposed, but how good is it?

Escondido Mayor Sam Abed claims SANDAG’s ballot measure allocates too much for public-transit projects in San Diego and not enough for highways in North County. While it’s true that increased transit funding is more beneficial for dense San Diego than suburban Escondido, transit dollars are still useful for North County.

The Downtown Underground

When you think about the world’s great cities, you can think of many things, iconic skylines, great museums, wonderful food. But there is something almost all great cities have in common. Public transportation. Public transportation moves you fast and gets you out of the crazy city traffic. Physically being removed from car traffic. This is called grade separation. The San Diego Trolley’s lack…

THIS WOULD BE AMAZING! Hillcrest could be beautiful! I would move back there if this got built! If people could bike safely with low stress, and people could cross the street without waiting forever!

At one point this past winter, the division and rancor in Hillcrest over the SANDAG Uptown Regional Bike Plan, and especially plans for University Avenue, seemed to be tearing the community apart. Amazingly, however, over the last few weeks, the community has come together and collalesced behind a new proposal by retired architect, planner, and Uptown resident Jim Frost.
