SANDIEGO CITY COUNCIL FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Lisa Schmidt at 619-210-9499 Tuesday, June 29, 2021 [email protected] Councilmember Moreno Announces City Council Approval of $22.7M in Grant Funding for La Media Road in Otay Mesa SAN FOR DIEGO – Today, the San Diego City Council unanimously approved accepting $22.7M in Trade Corridor Enhancement Program (TCEP) grant funding from the California Transportation Commission to construct the La Media Road Improvements Project (Project) in Otay Mesa. The Project consists of widening La Media Road from State Route 905 to the U.S.-Mexico border, critical for southbound truck traffic heading to the Otay Mesa Port of Entry. The Project will also improve drainage at the intersection of La Media Road and Airway Road and is critical to enhancing the State’s Trade Corridor. “The La Media Road Project is a critical trade corridor for our economy in California,” said Councilmember Vivian Moreno. “This project will repair a vital piece of our freight transportation network and make cross border commerce more efficient while lowering greenhouse gas emissions by reducing truck idling and congestion caused by trucks on local streets.” According to the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) in 2019, California exported nearly $30 billion worth of goods to Mexico. More than 2 million trucks carried $48 billion in imported and exported goods through the Otay Mesa Port of Entry in 2019. The main goal of TCEP is to fund infrastructure improvements along trade corridors with a high volume of freight movement. The total estimated cost of the Project is $42.7 million. More information on La Media Road Improvement Project can be found here. Councilmember Vivian Moreno represents the Eighth Council District of the City of San Diego, which includes the communities of Barrio Logan, Egger Highlands, Grant Hill, Logan Heights, Memorial, Nestor, Ocean View Hills, Otay Mesa, San Ysidro, Shelltown, Sherman Heights, Stockton and the Tijuana River Valley. .

SDHC: Housing Stability for Families Affected by COVID-19 SHARE: Join Our Email List View as Webpage Message from the President & CEO SDHC Newsletter March 16, 2021 The launch of a new City of San Diego program will give qualifying low- income families certainty that their past-due rent and utility bills will be paid and the stability of knowing they will not lose their rental home because of the financial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria, City Councilmember Vivian Moreno, Chicano Federation CEO Nancy Maldonado and San Diego Housing Commission (SDHC) Senior Vice President of Rental Assistance and Workforce Development Azucena Valladolid spoke at a news conference to announce the start of the City of San Diego COVID-19 Housing Stability Assistance Program. SDHC worked closely with Mayor Gloria to develop the program, which SDHC administers. The San Diego City Council approved the program on February 22, 2021. This program helps pay past-due, unpaid rent and utilities for City residents with low income who experience financial hardship due to COVID-19. More than $83 million is available through this program to help qualifying households. These resources consist of federal Coronavirus Relief Funds the U.S. Department of Treasury awarded directly to the City of San Diego (City) and federal funds allocated to the City through the State of California’s Coronavirus Relief Fund, as approved in California State Senate Bill (SB) 91. SDHC is contracting with 10 community-based organizations, including the Chicano Federation, and 2-1-1 San Diego to help San Diego residents complete their online applications, including households without internet access.

On October 17, 2016, proponents told the City Council the Ash Street building would bring four benefits to the City: (1) provide estimated savings in occupancy expenses of over $44 million; (2) centralize City Operations in one building; (3) improve City employee working conditions; and (4) improve “ease of flow” for the public. The City Council, relying on these representations, agreed to the Ash Street Building lease on October 17, 2016. As you know, the City has not received any of the four promised benefits.

November 6, 2020 San Diego City Council President Georgette
November 6, 2020 San Diego City Council President Georgette Gómez 202 C Street San Diego, CA 92101 RE: Support healthy communities and economic recovery by passing Mobility Choices Dear Council President Gómez, Mayor Faulconer, and Councilmembers: As a very tumultuous year draws to a close, there is a decision you can make right now to bring certainty for San Diego’s future, and generate economic growth for the city’s small businesses. We urge you to pass the Mobility Choices ordinance to boost San Diego’s local economy by acting to address the climate emergency and climate equity and build a more walkable, bikeable city. Mobility Choices won the full support of the City’s Mobility Board on June 3, 2020 and was passed by the Planning Commission and Land Use and Housing Committee earlier this year. The City of San Diego is now four months past the State deadline of July 1, 2020 to adopt a local threshold for Senate Bill 743 (SB 743). Mobility Choices aligns the City’s climate goals with the State requirement in SB 743 to analyze transportation impacts using VMT (vehicle miles traveled). In addition to meeting this state requirement, Mobility Choices will support San Diego in the following ways: Advance climate equity: Your passage of Mobility Choices puts San Diego on the right track to addressing historical disinvestment in our Communities of Concern. ● With less than five percent of the City’s Development Impact Fees spent in Communities of Concern since the 1980s, policies guiding more equitable investment in San Diego are long overdue.1 ● The Mobility Choices ordinance guarantees that at least half of the funds collected will be invested in Communities of Concern.
