The MVA is typical of riverine aquifers of southern California consisting of deposits of primarily gravel and sand conducive for high- yielding groundwater wells. Mission Valley, its aquifer and river system, provided water to help establish and sustain the San Diego Mission dating back to 1769. A well field in the MVA, that spanned a distance from where Qualcomm Stadium is located to the Interstate 805 & Interstate 8 interchange, served as one of the City of San Diego’s (City’s) primary sources of drinking water from about 1914 until 1936. The City owns a special water right called a Pueblo right, which is a prior and paramount right to all of the water of the San Diego River (surface and underground). Eventually it was understood that local water supplies would not meet the ultimate demand for water, thus the City began importing water in the late 1940s.

  • Figure 1. Regional Location Map
    Figure 1. Regional Location Map - 2 - INTRODUCTION SCOPE AND PURPOSE OF THE PLAN The updated San Ysidro Community Plan (Plan) is a comprehensive revision of the original plan adopted in 1974 and includes the urbanized portion of the Tijuana River Valley. The update was authorized at the City Council budget hearings of July 1987 and work on the project began in December of that year. The Planning Department, with the assistance of the San Ysidro Planning and Development Group, has studied San Ysidro’s major issues and challenges and has developed alternative solutions to realize the community’s potential. Included in the Plan is a set of recommendations based upon those alternative solutions to guide the development and the redevelopment of the San Ysidro community. Formal adoption of the revised Plan requires that the Planning Commission and City Council follow the same procedure of holding public hearings as was followed in adopting the original community plan. Adoption of the Plan also requires an amendment of the Progress Guide and General Plan (General Plan) for the City, which will occur at the first regularly scheduled General Plan amendment hearing following adoption of this Plan. Once the Plan is adopted, any amendments, additions or deletions will require that the Planning Commission and City Council follow City Council Policy 600-35 regarding the procedure for Plan amendments. Although this Plan sets forth procedures for implementation, it does not establish new regulations or legislation, nor does it rezone property. The rezoning and design controls recommended in the Plan will be enacted concurrently with Plan adoption.

    MOBILITY 21’s “IMBY” LIST** Twenty-one Critical Transportation Projects “In My Backyard” to Improve Mobility throughout Southern California** One Region. One Voice. One Future. Mobility 21, the leading Southern California transportation coalition, works to find solutions to the region’s pressing transportation issues. The transportation infrastructure investment need in Southern California exceeds $625 billion to improve mobility, reduce congestion and improve air quality for the 21 million residents. Congress is developing the next 6-year transportation funding bill that could help address improving the livability and mobility of Southern California residents. State and local government continues to face challenges in funding the region’s many infrastructure and transportation needs. Partnering with the federal government as it develops legislation for implementing Southern California’s $625 billion infrastructure improvement plan will be a high priority in the upcoming months. Mobility 21 has identified example transportation projects below that are included in the $625 billion plan that would improve mobility, congestion and air quality throughout Southern California. Mobility 21 will work with its partners to find funding solutions for these and other “must-do” projects in the region. Rail Safety Positive Train Control (PTC) Positive Train Control (PTC) is a predictive collision avoidance technology designed to stop a train before an accident occurs. PTC will help save lives by preventing train-to-train collisions, speeding and over-speed derailments, incursions into work zones along the tracks and movement of a train through a switch left in the wrong position. Reducing Congestion Interstate-10 Freeway Corridor One of the most heavily-used trade routes in the nation, the I-10 corridor is also one of the most congested.

  • The Bridges of San Diego County: the Art of Civil Engineering
    The Bridges of San Diego County: The Art of Civil Engineering Christine Robbins Every bridge represents a problem solved, a challenge overcome, a connection made. San Diego, with its abundance of hills, mesas, and canyons, showcases the art of bridge building. Civil engineers took on the task and were lauded for their work in this poem: They have built magnificent bridges where the nation’s highways go; O’er perilous mountain ridges and where great rivers flow. Wherever a link was needed between the new and the known They have left their marks of Progress, in iron and steel and stone. There was never a land too distant nor ever a way too wide, But some man’s mind, insistent, reached out to the other side. They cleared the way, these heroes, for the march of future years. The march of Civilization—and they were its Pioneers. —Portion of “The Bridge Builders,” a poem by Evelyn Simms The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) considers bridges an important aspect of civil engineering. According to the organization’s policy statement; “Bridges are a visible icon of the Civil Engineer’s art. Historic bridges are important links to our past, serve as safe and vital transportation routes in the Author Christine Robbins acknowledges contributions by Civil Engineers Tim Shell, PE, of the City of Vista and Wade Durant, PE, Pete Smith, PE, ENV SP, and Clark Fernon, PE, of T.Y. Lin International. The author wishes to acknowledge all those who generously shared their recollections of working on some of the bridges discussed in the article.
