Attached is the comment letter that SANDAG submitted to OPR.

REPORTS

+5. RESULTS OF RECENT SURVEY OF REGIONAL PLANNING TECHNICAL INFORMATION WORKING GROUP MEMBERS (Kiran Kaur)

A survey was conducted in January on the content and format of TWG meetings and the value of tools in the Smart Growth Tool Box. Staff will report on the survey results.

6. DRAFT UPDATE OF SMART GROWTH CONCEPT MAP (Carolina Ilic) INFORMATION

Staff is producing a draft Technical Update to the Smart Growth Concept Map incorporating the updated transportation network from San Diego Forward: The Regional Plan. Changes to the smart growth opportunity areas and land use inputs will be undertaken in conjunction with the Series 14 Regional Growth Forecast. Copies of the draft updated map will be posted on-line and circulated at the meeting for initial review. The map will be finalized in April.

4 +7. REGIONAL COMPLETE STREETS POLICY IMPLEMENTATION: LOCAL DISCUSSION COMPLETE STREETS SAMPLE CHECKLIST (Carolina Ilic) (Approximate Time: 1:40 – 1:50 p.m.)

In January, SANDAG staff asked the Regional Planning Technical Working Group (TWG) for input on developing a sample checklist that local agencies can use on a voluntary basis to consider the implementation of Complete Streets in local projects. Attached is a Draft Local Complete Streets Sample Checklist for review and discussion. This is part of the greater effort to implement the Regional Complete Streets Strategy adopted by the SANDAG Board in 2014.

+8. POTENTIAL FUNDING MEASURE: UPDATE AND INITIAL DRAFT INFORMATION EXPENDITURE PLAN ALTERNATIVES (Coleen Clementson) (Approximate Time: 1:50 – 2:10 p.m.)

Based on direction from the Board of Directors, SANDAG staff has been conducting public education regarding projects included in San Diego Forward: The Regional Plan as well as projects that have been delivered through the TransNet transactions and use tax measures. Staff will present an overview of the results of the public outreach efforts to date as well as initial draft expenditure plan alternatives that have been developed in response to the public outreach to date. SANDAG is soliciting feedback regarding a draft expenditure plan for a potential November 2016 ballot measure. The report that was provided to the SANDAG Board of Directors on February 12, 2016 is included for information.

9. HIGHLIGHTING LOCAL EFFORTS: CARLSBAD GENERAL PLAN UPDATE, INFORMATION VILLAGE AND BARRIO MASTER PLAN, AND 85/15 PROJECT (Don Neu, City Planner, City of Carlsbad) (Approximate Time: 2:10 – 2:45 p.m.)

Last fall, the City of Carlsbad adopted a General Plan update and Climate Action Plan, and prepared a Program Environmental Impact Report to cover both actions. The City is also undertaking a master plan update for the Village and Barrio planning areas. In addition, last August, the Carlsbad City Council voted to approve the "85/15" plan proposed by Caruso Affiliated through the initiative process. A Referendum was submitted to repeal the initiative and a special election was held on February 23rd. The plan proposed to build a 585,000 square foot shopping center next to the Agua Hedionda Lagoon on 15 percent of the land while preserving 85 percent of the remaining land as open space. Carlsbad staff will provide a status update on these planning efforts and will discuss implications related to CEQA.

5 +10. UC SAN DIEGO URBAN STUDIES AND PLANNING STUDENT'S URBAN INFORMATION EXPO (Keith Pezzoli, Ph.D., Director, Urban Studies and Planning Program; Department of Communication) (Approximate Time: 2:45 – 3:30 p.m.) The UC San Diego Urban Studies and Planning (USP) Program invites TWG members to participate in the university's 26th Annual Urban Expo. The Urban Expo event will showcase a wide range of research projects and posters completed by the USP Program’s undergraduate seniors. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., over 40 student projects will be displayed at stations throughout the Price Center ballroom. There also will be a station to watch short video clips featuring three-minute highlights of student research. As part of the TWG meeting, Dr. Keith Pezzoli will provide a brief overview of the planning curriculum at UC San Diego, discuss opportunities for possible collaboration through UC San Diego’s new Center for Sustainability Science, Planning and Design (SS-PAD), and describe the Urban Expo event in more depth. As a unique part of the Urban Expo, TWG members will participate, as special guests, in a student panel from 3 to 3:30 p.m., focused on experiences gained by a group of students and faculty who traveled together to Germany (October 2015) to develop an exciting academic exchange program—focused on architecture, design, and planning—with Bauhaus University-Weimar. The panel will be facilitated by Paul Watson of the Global Action Research Center. After the student panel, TWG members are welcome and encouraged to attend the remainder of the Urban Expo. Student ambassadors will be available to guide each TWG member to posters in the ballroom. At 3:30 p.m., there will be a reception with food and refreshments. After the reception, a short program and awards ceremony (4 to 5:15 p.m.) will feature keynote speaker Isaac Martin, UC San Diego Professor of Sociology, who will discuss inequality.

11 Agenda Item No. 4 Regional Planning Technical Working Group Thursday, March 10, 2016

12 • (b)(2) Induced Vehicle Travel and Transportation Projects - Instead of referring to "transportation projects," SANDAG suggests referring to "projects that increase the number of general purpose lane miles on roadways or highways." OPR should consider revising the first sentence to "Additional General Purpose lane miles may induce automobile travel, and vehicle miles travelled, compared to existing conditions." Also, consider revising the last sentence to: "to the extent that the potential for induced vehicle travel has already... " Roadway improvements, such as Managed Lanes (also referred to as carpool or high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes), that support transit or ridesharing (e.g, carpools, vanpools) ultimately help reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. For example, in the SANDAG SCS, Managed Lanes are an important part of the San Diego region's plan to exceed its Senate Bill 375 (SB 375) (Steinberg, 2008) GHG reduction targets, increase transit ridership, and lower per capita VMT. Therefore SANDAG suggests that the Guidelines amendments distinguish between investments in Managed Lanes and general purpose lanes.

• (b)(3) Qualitative Analysis - SANDAG suggests that this section be amended to reference near term regional transportation projects identified and outlined in the RTIP as part of the Qualitative Analysis. Suggested language could read: " ...such a qualitative analysis would evaluate factors such as the availability of transit and active transportation infrastructure, including planned transit and active transportation projects identified in a Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP). local capital improvement program. or other comparable program, proximity to other destinations ... "

• (c) Applicability - SANDAG requests that OPR include more flexible language for a lead agency to elect to be governed by the provisions of this section. Specifically, SANDAG does not have its own procedures pursuant to Guidelines Section 15022, and would like the flexibility to begin using the provisions of this section upon their adoption if it so chooses, without having to update or adopt its own procedures under Guidelines Section 15022. Suggested language could read: "The provisions of this section shall apply statewide two years from [adoption date]. However, a lead agency may elect to be governed by the provisions of this section immediately after adoption if it so chooses."

Appendix G

The following revisions are suggested to simplify, clarify, and add precision to the wording of questions in Appendix G. For example:

• Question a) could be revised to read: "Substantially conflict with an adopted plan, ordinance, or policy addressing the safety or performance of the circulation system (except for automobile delay), including public transit, roadways, bicycles. and pedestrians."

• Question b) could be revised to read: "Cause a substantial rate of vehicle miles traveled (e.g., per capita, per service population, or other efficiency metric)."

• Question c) could be shortened to read: "Induce substantial automobile travel."

13 Technical Advisory

Technical Considerations in Assessing VMT

When assessing VMT, the rate of VMT (e.g., per capita, per employee) should be used as opposed to total VMT, with the exception of retail projects, as discussed in the Technical Advisory. In particular, it is best to use VMT efficiency metrics for program-level analysis (e.g., community plans, land use plans, RTPs/SCSs). Total VMT is driven by factors such as population and employment growth and project size, while efficiency metrics are better indicators of a project's environmental impact.

Recommendations Regarding Significance Thresholds

SANDAG supports in concept OPR's efforts to develop a recommended significance threshold for residential and office projects that meets the Public Resource Code Section 21099 requirement to, among other things, "promote the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions." And while SANDAG does not per se have concerns with OPR recommending a quantitative significance threshold, SANDAG does have concerns with the recommended threshold of 15 percent lower (per capita or per employee) than existing development, without additional detail and analysis. For one, there is no analysis and definitive information on the level of VMT needed to meet statewide GHG reduction goals. Other transportation measures are needed to meet statewide goals, especially developments in transportation technology and vehicle efficiency. In addition, there is no clear nexus between OPR's project-level recommendation for new development and the statewide GHG policies and other references governing existing and new development that are cited as support for OPR's recommendation in the Technical Advisory:

• While the initial Air Resource Board (ARB) Scoping Plan recommended that local governments reduce their jurisdiction-wide GHG emissions from all sources by 15 percent by 2020, there is no clear nexus between the 15 percent statewide GHG figure and a project-level VMT threshold of 15 percent lower {per capita or per employee) than existing development.

• While SB 375 does set regional per capita GHG reduction (not VMT reduction) targets from passenger vehicles for 2020 and 2035 that range from 13 to 16 percent below a 2005 baseline, there is no clear nexus between those regionwide GHG targets from existing and new development and a project-level VMT threshold for new development based on an "existing" baseline. (Note: an "existing" baseline will be different depending on when a project's CEQA analysis is commenced).

• While the Caltrans Strategic Management Plan does set a goal for a 15 percent reduction in statewide VMT from existing and new development by 2020 compared to 2010 levels, it is not clear how that statewide goal based on a 2010 baseline for existing and new development translates to a project-level threshold for new development based on "existing" baseline.

• While a 2010 California Air Pollution Control Officers Association document considers a 15 percent project level VMT reduction to be achievable for new development, it is not clear what baseline is used in that document and how it relates to OPR's recommendation.

14 • While Governor's Executive Orders established statewide goals for the reduction of GHG emissions from all existing and new sources (S-30-5, B-30-15) and from all existing and new transportation sources (B-16-12), there is no clear nexus between these goals and OPR's recommendation for project-level VMT reduction for new sources.

For the above reasons, SANDAG suggests that the 15 percent lower VMT recommendation be removed from the Technical Advisory. In its place, SANDAG recommends that the Technical Advisory recommend that lead agencies consider using one of the following as significance thresholds for VMT: regional average VMT based on the adopted SCS, or the average VMT for the jurisdiction in which the project is located.

When discussing land use project consistency with an RTP/SCS, SANDAG suggests adding more precise guidance regarding determining how land use projects do not conflict with an RTP/SCS. It would be helpful to define what is meant by, " ...location where RTP/SCS does not specify any development" and to define these areas as one of the following in the SCS: open space, parks, conserved lands, Natural Community Conservation Planning/Multiple Species Conservation Planning, agricultural land, mineral resources, etc.

When discussing land use plan consistency with an RTP/SCS, it is stated that a land use plan's consistency with the SCS should be based on its consistency with the SCS land use pattern and its rate of VMT. SANDAG suggests that land use plan consistency with an SCS be based solely on land use considerations, and not on rate of VMT. Irrespective of how a land use plan's rate of VMT per capita or employee compares to that of the SCS, that land use plan should be considered to have a less than significant transportation impact if it is consistent with an adopted SCS that meets its SB 375 GHG targets.

SANDAG also suggests that the Technical Guidance more clearly define land use plan consistency with an adopted SCS. Since RTP/SCS documents are typically based on approved jurisdictional General Plans, these plans may not always maximize full development potential in all areas or areas with increased sensitivity toward transit access. As a result, there are generally two different land use changes that may be inconsistent with an RTP/SCS: first, urban development with higher density or intensity than assumed by the RTP/SCS that may reduce VMT and have a less than significant transportation impact, and second, suburban/rural development that may increase VMT and have a significant transportation impact. SANDAG feels that this section was intended to only cover the latter change. For example, a region may have infill opportunities within their urban cores that are not necessarily included in the adopted forecast for an RTP/SCS. Such infill could allow for additional density and development near transit, which may not indicate a significant transportation impact. As a result, SANDAG suggests that this concern be reflected in the Technical Advisory's discussion of land use plan consistency with an RTP/SCS.

When discussing recommendations for VMT analysis in an RTP/SCS, SANDAG suggests that these plans focus on VMT within the plan geography. Evaluating "VMT outcomes" in neighboring counties would require deployment of local and statewide travel models, which have the potential to conflict with each other. The extent to which an analysis should extend into a neighboring county (or in SANDAG's case, into the neighboring country of Mexico) also is not clear. The lead agency should determine which tool is the most appropriate to use on a case-by-case basis, and the first sentence in Section 4 on page 25 should be deleted.

15 SANDAG also recommends the following revision to the second sentence in Section 4 on page 25 because VMT is not regulated or otherwise addressed by SB 375: "An RTP/SCS achieving its pef capita VMT reductions sufficient to achieve SB 375 target� GHG emissions reduction may would constitute a less than significant transportation impact related to VMT and induced automobile travel demand."

Impacts to Transit

SANDAG suggests editing the first sentence of the second paragraph on page 26 to read: "When evaluating impacts to multi modal transportation networks, lead agencies generally should not treat the addition of new users as an adverse impact. If the project is found to cause an adverse CEOA impact on transit. lead agencies shall. however. identify mitigation, such as funding." While the lead agency is not solely responsible for such impacts, the lead agency shall work to identify potential funding mechanisms to mitigate for potential local transit impacts.

SANDAG suggests editing the final paragraph on page 26 to read: "Increased transit demand throughout a region may, however, cause cumulative impacts. which require new or additional transit infrastructure. Such impacts may be best addressed through fee assessments at the proiect level (for direct project-related impacts) or through a fee program that fairly allocates the cost of improvements not just to projects located near transit ... "

Recommendations for Considering Transportation Project VMT Effects

SANDAG suggests broadening the list of projects that do not require VMT analysis to better reflect potential active transportation and public transit projects (page 27). For example:

• Second bullet: add "buses on shoulders"

• Sixth bullet: add "new transit-only and HOV lanes that support high-quality transit service"

• Twelfth bullet: add "traffic circles"

• Sixteenth bullet: add "new transit capital projects"

• Eighteenth bullet: add "removal or relocation of on-street parking spaces"

• New bullet: "addition of new or enhanced bike or pedestrian facilities on existing streets/highways or within existing public right-of-way"

• New bullet: "addition of Class I bike paths, trails. multi-use paths or other off-road facilities that serve non-motorized travel"

• New bullet: "installation of publicly available alternative fuel/charging infrastructure"

Quantifying Induced VMT Using Models

SANDAG acknowledges the importance of estimating how induced demand influences surrounding land use patterns over the long-term, but there are concerns with the options presented in the Technical Advisory: namely, that lead agencies should run iterative land use models and employ

16 expert panels to study a project's effects on land use. While SANDAG and other MPOs across California are currently working on tools and models to perform such analysis, these tools have not been fully developed for production purposes and have not been used in policy analysis to date. SANDAG suggests modifying this section to acknowledge that these tools are still in development and evolving at this time. SANDAG also suggests modifying this section once such tools have developed (such that they are accurate, faster, and cost-effective).

Regarding expert panels, SANDAG acknowledges that they are an option, but suggests adding language clarifying that such panels may not be cost-effective or feasible for all projects. SANDAG supports option 3 (presented at the top of page 30) as a more cost-effective and time-efficient method for incorporating estimates of land use change into VMT analysis.

Recommended Significance Threshold for Transportation Projects

SANDAG supports in concept OPR's efforts to develop a recommended significance threshold for transportation projects that meets the Public Resource Code Section 21099 requirement to, among other things, "promote the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions." Furthermore, SAN DAG agrees with the statement that California's GHG reduction goals will require steep reductions in emissions from the transportation sector.

SANDAG does not per se have concerns with OPR recommending a quantitative significance threshold for transportation projects, but SANDAG does have concerns with the fundamental assumption OPR used to develop the quantitative threshold recommended in the Technical Advisory: "that statewide VMT can increase up to 4 percent without obstructing California's long term emissions reduction goals." Because of these concerns SANDAG requests that the recommended significance threshold for transportation projects be removed from the Technical Advisory until more analysis and definitive information is available as explained below.

The Technical Advisory takes this statewide VMT assumption developed for a hypothetical exercise - an ARB factsheet showing a "sample" pathway to a 50 percent statewide petroleum reduction by 2030 - and asserts it as a statewide VMT maximum that cannot be exceeded "without obstructing California's long-term emissions reduction," and then uses it to justify the recommended project level VMT reduction threshold.

At this time, SANDAG is not aware of a definitive source of maximum increase in total statewide VMT that is needed for the State to meet its GHG reduction goals. The State's current Climate Change Scoping Plan does not establish limits on total statewide VMT as part of its framework for meeting the statewide GHG reduction target for 2020; there is no State framework in place at this time for meeting post-2020 GHG targets. Importantly, the amount of statewide VMT needed to meet State GHG reduction goals will ultimately depend on the amount of GHG reductions achieved through other transportation and non-transportation measures (e.g., new transportation technologies and vehicle efficiency improvements). Until there is clear direction from an authority like the Legislature or ARB on the role of statewide VMT in meeting statewide GHG reduction goals, SANDAG suggests removing this assumption and the recommended significance threshold for transportation projects from the Technical Advisory.

17 Among the mitigation measures and alternatives that the Technical Advisory identifies as appropriate for induced vehicle travel impacts are "tolling new lanes to encourage carpools and fund transit improvements" and "converting existing general purpose lanes to HOV or high occupancy transit lanes." While SANDAG does not disagree that these measures may - in the appropriate context - reduce VMT, it is important to note that there are feasibility issues with these measures. For one, additional legal authority would be required to implement either of these measures. Two, the tolling of new lanes can disproportionately affect disadvantaged populations (depending on the details of how tolling is implemented). These feasibility considerations should be noted in the Technical Advisory. SANDAG does agree that Transportation Demand Management (TDM) and Information Technology System strategies are appropriate mitigation measures.

Transportation Demand Management

Two of the three case studies at the conclusion of the Guidelines (on pages 54-57) feature specific examples of TDM mitigation measures. However, these measures are tailored to the case study project types. While helpful, please consider including a more extensive list of TDM measures earlier in the document (such as Section 111.E.2) similar to what is provided for roadway and active transportation improvements. This list could include strategies to provide and promote the use of shared mobility services and other TDM incentives (e.g., carpool and vanpool subsidies, cash incentives for biking and walking, secure bike parking).

Two case studies at the conclusion of the guidelines feature specific examples of TDM mitigation measures (pages 54, 57). However, these measures are tailored to the case study project types. While very helpful, please consider including a more extensive list of TDM measures earlier in the document similar to what is provided for roadway and active transportation improvements. Currently, the first mention of TDM is located under Mitigation and Alternatives for induced VMT and simply states: "Implementing or funding travel demand management measures" (page 46). These statements are quite general, but the management options associated with these concepts are broad in scope and contribute a valid percentage of VMT reduction, which warrants additional details. SANDAG recommends including the following bullets in Section G (pages 46-47) in order to provide a well-rounded collection of TDM options:

• Carpooling

• Vanpooling

• Teleworking

• Incentives and subsidies that encourage the use of transportation alternatives

• Ride-matching services

• On-site amenities at places of work, such as priority parking for carpools and vanpools, secure bike parking, and showers and locker rooms

• Employee transportation coordinators at employment sites

• Guaranteed Ride Home service

18 • Parking cash-out

SANDAG appreciates the opportunity to comment and looks forward to working with OPR to implement the new CEQA Guidelines.

Action Requested: INFORMATION

RESULTS OF RECENT SURVEY OF REGIONAL PLANNING File Number 3100400 TECHNICAL WORKING GROUP MEMBERS

Introduction

In January 2016, staff conducted a survey to gather feedback from Regional Planning Technical Working Group (TWG) members and alternates. The first half of the survey focused on measuring the level of satisfaction with the date, time, and structure of the TWG meetings and soliciting suggestions for how the meetings could be improved. The second half of the survey focused on gauging the value of the tools within the Smart Growth Tool Box. Staff reported results pertaining to the meeting schedule at the February meeting, and the TWG decided to maintain the current meeting day and time (second Thursday of the month from 1:15 – 3:15 p.m.). Today, staff will report on survey results related to the Smart Growth Tool Box and suggestions for improvement.

Discussion

Staff received 30 responses from TWG members and alternates. Below are some major themes, trends, and suggestions resulting from the survey:

• Over 80 percent of TWG members and alternates are very satisfied or somewhat satisfied with the content and format of meetings. Some suggestions for improvement include:

o Include agenda items that allow for a diversity of viewpoints by featuring local projects related to work being undertaken by advisory members.

o Include the “Member Communications” item more often so that TWG members can have an informal opportunity to discuss local issues more frequently.

• Over 60 percent of TWG members and alternates are very satisfied or somewhat satisfied with the frequency and content of off-site meetings. Suggestions for improvement included:

o Encouraging elected officials, SANDAG Board members or Regional Planning Committee members, to participate in order to highlight success stories in the region.

o Provide sound amplification during site visits so that the presentation is more audible.

20 • About 90 percent of TWG members and alternates would like to continue holding joint meetings with other SANDAG working groups.

• The five most utilized tools in the Smart Growth Tool Box are the Smart Growth Concept Map, the Complete Streets web page, the San Diego Regional Bike Plan, the Smart Growth Trip Generation/Parking Study, and the Visualization Tools.

• The five tools that are most likely to be recommended by TWG members are the Smart Growth Concept Map, the Complete Streets web page, the Smart Growth Design Guidelines, the SANDAG Regional Bike Plan, and the Smart Growth Photo Library.

• TWG members and alternates had the following suggestions regarding tools that SANDAG could consider developing and adding to the Smart Growth Tool Box:

o Tools that address community resistance to affordable housing/density levels.

o Transit Oriented Development tools.

o Tools that address regional infrastructure (i.e. fire, sewer, recycled water) planning.

o A tool for addressing Senate Bill 743 vehicle miles traveled calculations related to greenhouse gas (GHG) emission California Environmental Quality Act thresholds.

o A toolbox for ways to reduce GHG emissions.

o Annual review of challenges and innovative efforts in smart growth around the nation.

Next Steps

As staff prepares future meeting agendas and work elements, suggestions from the survey results will be taken into consideration. Member attendance at TWG meetings is of great value to SANDAG, and staff will continue to strive to make the meetings as effective as possible.

Action Requested: DISCUSSION

REGIONAL COMPLETE STREETS POLICY IMPLEMENTATION: File Number 7300500 LOCAL COMPLETE STREETS SAMPLE CHECKLIST

Introduction

In January, SANDAG staff asked the Regional Planning Technical Working Group (TWG) and the Cities/County Transportation Advisory Committee (CTAC) for input on developing a sample checklist that local agencies can use on a voluntary basis to consider the implementation of Complete Streets in local projects. Work on this effort is informed by the Regional Complete Streets Policy1 (Policy) that the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) Board of Directors adopted in December 2014.

The Policy (available at sandag.org/CompleteStreets) defines Complete Streets for use by SANDAG in its role as an implementer of regional transportation projects and as the regional planning agency. One of the Policy’s implementation actions included development of a regional checklist to ensure all transportation projects implemented by SANDAG consider the needs of all travel modes (Attachment 1). Another implementation action includes the development of a local checklist as a resource tool for consideration by local agencies. The regional checklist was presented at the January meetings in the context of reviewing it for potential adaptability for local use.

Discussion

The following is a summary of comments made at the TWG and CTAC meetings in reviewing the regional checklist for potential adaptability for local use:

• Complete streets is not a “one-size-fits-all approach”; need to tailor regional and local checklists to individual corridors.

• There needs to be “up-front” thinking about complete streets in the project development process, with assessment of issues early and often.

• Important to consider parking, buffered bike lanes, and transit priority measures in the context of complete streets and right-of-way issues when implementing transit projects along key

1 The Regional Complete Streets Policy was one of the five commitments made by the SANDAG Board of Directors from the 2050 Regional Transportation Plan and its Sustainable Communities Strategy.

22 corridors. This will be increasingly important as the Rapid transit projects included in San Diego Forward: The Regional Plan are implemented.

• Need to address auto- and bike-parking along complete streets. Should also explore potential alternatives for parking related to car-sharing.

• Street lighting and stormwater issues should be addressed as part of complete streets.

• Many jurisdictions have adopted local complete streets policies, and are already pursuing complete streets as part of the development process with local developers; should build upon and highlight these existing efforts, and should provide training opportunities.

• Should think about how we can maximize bike and pedestrian design so that our streets function better for multi-modal uses and become assets to our communities.

Based on the comments received at the two meetings, staff has prepared a draft Local Complete Streets Sample Checklist as a tool for local agencies (Attachment 2), which could be adapted to meet local planning goals and used on a voluntary basis for local jurisdictions and others to consider complete streets in the development of local transportation projects. Ideally, the checklist would be used when a transportation project is initiated to ensure that all modes are considered in the initial scoping and budgeting of the project. The TWG is asked to provide comments on the draft Local Complete Streets Sample Checklist.

Next Steps

At their March 3 meeting, CTAC also was asked to provide comments. Once finalized, the local sample checklist will be added to the SANDAG website for use by interested parties. Use of the sample checklist would be optional, could be adapted to meet specific local agency goals, and would not be a requirement for receiving transportation funds administered by SANDAG.

Work during 2016 will include finalizing the local sample checklist as a resource, developing a protocol for evaluating cost sharing of regional projects with local agency Complete Streets efforts, developing a regional database and mapping tool to facilitate coordinated development of local and regional Complete Streets plans, identifying training opportunities for SANDAG and member agency staff, and developing a process for SANDAG to monitor implementation of the Policy.

Status reports will be provided to the SANDAG Policy Advisory Committees and the SANDAG Board of Directors, and training sessions will be coordinated in the next several months.

Regional Complete Streets Project Development Checklist

Introduction

On December 19, 2014, the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) Board of Directors adopted a Regional Complete Streets Policy (Policy). The Policy defines Complete Streets as it will be used to guide SANDAG in its role as an implementer of regional transportation projects and as the regional planning agency that programs transportation funds, sets long-range regional transportation policy, and provides technical assistance and support to local agencies. The Board action directed implementation action items such as this project development checklist and others to ensure all projects implemented by SANDAG consider local complete streets initiatives and accommodate the needs of all travel modes. The Policy document is available at: sandag.org/uploads/publicationid/publicationid_1909_18570.pdf

Background and Resources

In 2004, the SANDAG Board of Directors established a Smart Growth Strategy for the region’s future growth and development. The strategy is illustrated on the Smart Growth Concept Map (SGCM), which was first adopted by the Board of Directors in 2006. The SGCM shows the location of existing, planned, and potential smart growth areas as well as planned habitat and open space. Projects located in a smart growth area must support walking and biking access, especially as it relates to transit. The Smart Growth in the San Diego Region (sandag.org/uploads/projectid/projectid_296_13993.pdf) brochure provides descriptions of the seven smart growth place types. More details about the SGCM are available at:

sandag.org/resources/smartgrowth/index_gmap.asp

Guidance on applying smart growth principles to transportation projects can be found in Designing for Smart Growth, Creating Great Places in the San Diego Region (sandag.org/index.asp?projectid=344&fuseaction=projects.detail).

Transportation design guidance for Complete Streets is available from a variety of sources including, but not limited to, those listed below:

• Riding to 2050 (see Chapter 7, Bicycle Design Guidelines) sandag.org/uploads/projectid/projectid_353_10862.pdf

• Active Transportation Implementation Strategy & Safe Routes to School Typologies sdforward.com/pdfs/RP_final/AppendixU16-ActiveTransportationImplementationStrategy.pdfh

• SANDAG Transit Design Guidelines

Local bicycle and pedestrian plans, safe routes to school plans, and Community Active Transportation strategies should all be consulted where they exist. Contact local jurisdiction planning and engineering departments in the project area to identify local plans.

Using the Checklist

There are two occasions for employing the Complete Streets checklists.

1. The Project Initiation Complete Streets Checklist is completed and approved at the start of the project initiation process in the scoping document/feasibility study before the project is added to the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP).

2. If changing project scope, the Project Amendment Complete Streets Checklist must be completed and approved prior to amending the project in the RTIP. This is necessary because any exceptions to complying with this policy must be reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the RTIP approval process.

If all modes of travel cannot be accommodated in the project consistent with local and regional plans, the checklist requires an explanation of the circumstances that justify that decision. Discuss the issue with your Director to determine if the project should be submitted for review by the SANDAG Active Transportation Working Group. Be sure the project does not preclude design features that could be added in the future if funds become available.

Project Managers preparing the Checklist should consult with planners in the Land Use Coordination section to assist with the planning context and answer any specific questions for clarification.

Local Complete Streets Sample Checklist: A Tool for Local Agencies

Introduction

This Complete Streets sample checklist is designed as a tool for local agencies to use in developing their own internal process for evaluating whether new transportation projects plan for and accommodate all modes of travel to the extent warranted. Use of the local sample checklist is optional, can be adapted to meet specific local agency goals and is not a requirement for receiving any transportation funds administered by SANDAG.

Using the Checklist

The Complete Streets checklist is a tool that can be used when a transportation project is initiated to ensure that all modes are considered in the initial scoping and budgeting of the project. Because it may not be necessary or feasible to accommodate all modes in every project, the sample checklist provides a mechanism for documenting the circumstances that explain the decision.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 16-02-3 BOARD OF DIRECTORS FEBRUARY 12, 2016 ACTION REQUESTED – DISCUSSION

POTENTIAL FUNDING MEASURE: UPDATE AND File Number 3200000 INITIAL DRAFT EXPENDITURE PLAN ALTERNATIVES

Introduction

On November 6, 2015, the Board of Directors discussed the results of public information surveys conducted in the spring and fall of 2015 regarding a potential ballot measure to fund important regional infrastructure. The surveys were conducted to gauge voter interest in supporting projects and programs included in the recently-adopted San Diego Forward: The Regional Plan (Regional Plan). After discussing the information, the Board directed staff to outline the components of an initial expenditure plan for review. In addition, staff was directed to continue public outreach activities.

Discussion

Public Outreach/Education Activities

In January, SANDAG initiated an intensive outreach and education effort to help shape the development of a draft expenditure plan. The effort is focused on asking residents across the region what their infrastructure priorities are for the future. This effort is being supported by an interactive story map that was created to highlight more than 650 completed projects that were funded in part by the TransNet sales tax measures. The outreach includes: launch of a landing page with an online survey (English and Spanish available at sandag.org/priorities and sandag.org/prioridades, respectively); four hosted telephone town hall meetings (three English, one Spanish) to learn more about what people think about investing in areas such as open space conservation, transportation infrastructure, water quality improvements, and other local infrastructure; and notices to the public informing them of the opportunity to provide comments in person at upcoming Board of Directors and Policy Advisory Committee meetings.

A number of public outreach tools are being used to invite as many people in the region as possible to participate and share their ideas. SANDAG member agencies also have helped to educate the public on how to get involved. These efforts include:

• Postcards – Four versions (three English/one Spanish) mailed to 249,000 households

• Telephone town hall meeting recruitment calls in English and Spanish made to more than 249,000 households; reminder calls were placed to households that indicated they would or might participate in a telephone town hall meeting

36 • Social media – English and Spanish posts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. SANDAG reached nearly 299,000 people with 44 posts, including paid posts. Member agencies also were asked to post information on their social media channels

• Digital outreach – More than 60 digital graphics were placed on dozens of websites, which yielded more than 3.1 million impressions

• Fliers – Electronic and print versions of English and Spanish fliers were distributed at multiple outreach events and presentations

• Newsletters – Information included in Region, the SANDAG eNewsletter, as well as several member agency email blasts/newsletters

• Eblasts – Information sent to more than 57,000 SANDAG stakeholder email addresses

• Video – Aired on CountyTV, local city access channels, and YouTube, with more than 830 views to date

• Printed survey – 6,000 (English and Spanish) distributed at SANDAG presentations throughout the region and provided to member agencies for placement in public areas (e.g., city hall, libraries, recreation centers, public facilities)

• Press release – generated approximately 21 stories in print, TV, and radio

• Presentations to member agencies, outside organizations and SANDAG working groups – ongoing

The results of these efforts will continue to grow as outreach is ongoing. So far, the sandag.org/priorities landing page has received more than 5,200 unique page views; the sandag.org/prioridades Spanish page has received more than 460 unique page views; more than 3,100 respondents have taken the online survey; more than 13,600 households participated in one of the four telephone town halls conducted; and the TransNet story map has received more than 1,800 unique page views. SANDAG has collected more than 2,100 comments through emails, voice mails, and surveys, and will continue collecting comments through these outlets as well as at public meetings in February and March.

Thousands of public comments received during public meetings, through emails, voice mails, and surveys, are listed in Attachments 1a through 1e and were used to help draft and refine the initial expenditure plan alternatives included in this report. The Transportation and Regional Planning Committee members discussed several issues related to potential projects and programs that could be included in a draft expenditure plan and specifically asked staff to address comments raised by the public about the Youth Opportunity Pass Program. Staff will be addressing that issue with the Board of Directors.

The initial alternatives are intended to be a starting point for discussion by the Board of Directors at this meeting and at the SANDAG Board Retreat in March.

37 Initial Draft Expenditure Plan Alternatives

In addition to the outreach efforts outlined above, SANDAG also received extensive input from the outreach efforts associated with the development and adoption of the Regional Plan. Further, SANDAG gained insight into the public’s opinions from the public information surveys conducted in 2015. Based on the input to date, and drafted so that SANDAG stays within its legal authority for what can be included in a potential future funding measure, two alternatives of an initial draft expenditure plan for a potential funding measure have been prepared for the Board of Directors to discuss.

The primary funding categories and potential uses that have been identified include:

Funding General Uses Category Regional Transit (capital and operations), highways (i.e., Managed Lanes, connectors), Transportation active transportation, and alternative fuel and electric vehicle infrastructure

Improving local transportation (including street, road, bike, pedestrian, transit Local improvements, rail grade separations, and local interchanges), watershed Infrastructure protection, water quality, open space, beach sand replenishment, and grant programs for related infrastructure, including transit oriented development

Regional funding to meet the long-term requirements of implementing Open Space habitat conservation plans in the San Diego region and managing the habitat areas to reduce the risk of wildfires and ensure a healthy environment

Watershed planning, flood control and water conservation projects, and Water developing projects to manage and/or recycle stormwater and runoff

To balance all of the needs in the region with the commitment made in the TransNet Extension Ordinance to seek additional funding for the habitat conservation plans, as well as to identify additional funding for projects in the Regional Plan, two “bookend” approaches to building an expenditure plan have been developed. The alternatives are based on a 40-year, half-cent sales tax, which is estimated to generate approximately $18 billion (in constant 2015 dollars).

While both alternatives include proposed investments in all four of the funding categories outlined above, one includes greater investments in major regional transportation improvements, while the other includes a greater emphasis on local infrastructure. Both alternatives strive to address the diverse input gathered over the past several years regarding critical infrastructure investments.

Projects identified in the initial draft expenditure plan alternatives were identified because of their ranking in the Regional Plan for each category (i.e., transit, highway, grade separation, interchange), as well as consideration of geographic distribution, ensuring that all parts of the region would benefit from the proposed investments. It should be noted that some of the projects identified in the project lists already are included in the current TransNet funding measure. Based on current estimates, those projects may either need additional resources to be fully funded or could be delivered sooner if additional funding is available.

38 Alternative A: Local Infrastructure Emphasis

Alternative A allocates funding for habitat conservation, water quality, and regional transportation (transit, highway, and active transportation). Alternative A also includes a Local Infrastructure allocation, which would allow for the local jurisdictions to decide how the funding is spent within the authority outlined in a future funding ordinance (analogous to the TransNet Extension Ordinance). The Local Infrastructure category could allocate funds to a variety of infrastructure programs such as smart growth, active transportation, transit oriented development, water, energy, or open space that are within SANDAG’s legislative authority.

Total 18,194 100% 18,194 100%

* These numbers include assumptions about potential future grant programs.

A detailed list of all of the projects with estimated costs included in Alternative A is found in Attachment 2. Similar to the TransNet measure, the transportation projects in the proposed expenditure plan are assumed to be leveraged, with 50 percent of the project funding coming from other sources. Leveraging funds in this way enables a greater number of projects to be included. This approach also has enabled the implementation of TransNet Early Action Program in the first ten years of the program.

Rail grade separation funding also is included within the Local Infrastructure funding category and accounts for approximately 3 percent of the total amount. It is suggested that eligible projects compete for available funding under a grant program that requires local matching funds to ensure the maximum number of projects are constructed.

39 Alternative B: Regional Infrastructure Emphasis

Instead of a specific Local Infrastructure category allocating funding directly to local jurisdictions, Alternative B focuses instead on specific regional projects and programs. Attachment 3 outlines the projects that are included in Alternative B. Some differences from Alternative A include additional transit improvements in the Coastal Intercity Rail Corridor (including new stations), increased frequencies to regional and local bus service, advancing some highway improvements, rebuilding local interchanges, building nearly 20 rail grade separations throughout the region, and additional funding for environmental mitigation and clean energy grant programs. While regional in nature, many of the proposed program categories, such as the local interchanges, rail grade separation, and active transportation allocations, would have direct benefits to the 18 cities and County.

Next Steps

Staff will continue to evaluate input received through outreach efforts and will develop a draft expenditure plan proposal based on direction from the Board of Directors. Staff will conduct a public information survey in March and present that information to the Board of Directors at its April 8, 2016, meeting. It is anticipated that the Board of Directors will be asked to make a decision on putting a funding measure on the November 2016 ballot at the April 8, 2016, meeting.

Public Comments from the February 5, 2016, Transportation Committee Meeting

Russ Penniman, President - Board of Directors of the Fairgrounds

Russ Penniman, current president of the board of directors of the fairgrounds. I’ve been on the board since 2003 and ever since I’ve been on the board I’ve been a proponent of rail access to the fairgrounds. Both for traffic alleviation, parking mitigation and as well as we our an emergency evacuation site for the County of San Diego. So it provides one more access for the public to get onto the property. So I’m here to today specifically to ask for the advance of the double tracking from 2025 to 2020 and the installation of a platform, and if you take a look up, Dustin is actually marking where that platform is going to be. And then for the replacement for that bridge, and that bridge is about 100 years old and my understanding is that it takes about $100 million a year to maintain that asset. As I mentioned, the benefits will be a reduction in traffic, the alleviation in the parking challenges that we’re currently having, and that are being exacerbated, and you also get the additional benefits of less traffic, the reduction in greenhouse gases, and overall I’d like to say that although it’s called the Del Mar fairgrounds, its where the San Diego County fair and races take place and it is a county and regional facility. Why accelerate? Our consent order with the coastal commission we gave up that purple spot down at the bottom, which we affectionately call the little dirt, and that represents about 1,735 parking spaces. We will not have that available to us during the fair this year so we’ve had to push for more offsite parking and we are going to have to shuttle folks in. So the reduction in this requires additional satellite parking, which means additional buses running back and forth from the satellite parking between the satellite lots and fairgrounds. So we have additional challenges in 2023, which is why we’re asking you to accelerate from 2025 to 2020 putting this project up to 2020. That’s why we call it affectionately the big dirt, which is just east of Jimmy Duran Boulevard. We actually lose the permit, or the permit to that expires in 2023. In the event that we don’t get that permit back, that’s going to be a loss of an additional 1,400 parking spaces on the property. During the fair, we have a turnover of about 2 to 3 times of our parking spots per day so the total loss of 3,265 parking spots potentially in 2023, that represents over 7,000 spots per day and parking that we would not have available to us. So we would really like to see this project move forward. Ideally, if you had rail access prior to 2023 we could all breath with a sigh of relief. Right now the only rail access we have to the property is via Solana Beach, which we do use during both the fair and the races, but then we have to bus folks from the Solana Beach station, which is up to the north. As one of the charges that this committee and the SANDAG is open space. I wanted to talk a little bit about the environmental stewardship at the fair. Over the last 10 years we’ve set aside over 57 acres to open space and conservation. We’ve spent about $5 million on wetlands restoration. That’s that new piece down there. That’s dirt that we are going to put back into the wetlands. Steven creek up to the north, we’ve spent about $600,000 on that for the restoration. The buffer on the east berm, which is down to the right there and that actually opens up to the coastal trail that goes all the way out to the beach. And we’ve spent about $175,000 a year to maintain least tern nest sites throughout the wetlands region out there. Any questions from the group?

Quality of Life Coalition:

Kyra Greene, Center on Policy Initiatives

Kyra Greene – good morning, I’m Dr. Kyra Green from the Center on Policy Initiatives, but I’m here this morning with the Quality of Life Coalition. We are a partnership between community

41 environmental advocacy and labor organizations representing a broad and diverse cross section of San Diego County. We actually include over 20 organizations and have over 150,000 members. We are united as a group around this vision for this ballot measure that raises public money to invest in socially and environmentally equitable manners. We think this measure can help us to create a more vibrant, inclusive community that lifts up families, creates healthier communities, and addresses climate change. As a group, I want to say it was not easy for us to come to agreement around this common vision. But having done so, we feel confident that we represent this broad section of residents and that the San Diego region will support the measure that fits this vision. And if such a measure is adopted consistent with our vision, we intend to educate and inform the public about how this measure helps the region. So to get into some elements of what that vision is, an important part is we, like you’ve seen in previous presentations, have great support for habitat funding. This is a sole mandatory element of the measure and would benefit multiple cities in the region. We also are highly supportive of the efforts to protect and enhance water quality through better storm water management. This was identified as a large shortfall in our regional analysis and we feel that we are clear that rain water management does not have its own funding stream as other water issues do.

Monique Lopez, Environmental Health Coalition

Monique Lopez with the environmental health coalition, one of the supporting organizations of this vision. We would like, well since infrastructure mode share and types and locations are currently at an off-balance, we’d really like to see this ballot initiative of funding go towards investment in social economic and environmental equity. So we’d like to see much of this funding dedicated to historically eluded communities. And we define that using the Cal-enviro screen tool but we normalize it using the top 25th percentile in the region. So looking at where are those communities within the San Diego region that are in the top 25th percentile on Cal-enviro screen and investing in transit, biking, and walking infrastructure in those communities. We’d also like to see equitable transit operation and fare structure so what that means is ensuring that people have affordable transportation or transit options. So in some cases that may also mean youth opportunity passes as well. And lastly here, is providing training and work opportunities though project labor agreements as well and we list that more specifically in the vision. So essentially we want investment for better transit, safer streets, good jobs, and cleaner air.

Micah Metrosky, Environmental Organizer - IBEW Local 569

Micah Mitrosky, Environmental Organizer with the electricians union IBEW Local 569 and the labor community is a partner in this effort and we support this shared vision. As Monique mentioned, another element that is critical in the proposed measure is the good jobs component specifically a project labor agreement. And this is actually a policy tool that will ensure local hire on SANDAG projects. It can also enable targeted hiring, for example, in disadvantaged communities or veteran populations. And a project labor agreement ensures that were building good career paths with our public dollars that were hiring locally and that we’re protecting the health and safety of the people working on these projects, which is dangerous, difficult, physical work to build these projects.

Colin Parent, Circulate San Diego

Colin Parent, policy counsel with circulate San Diego, proud to be here as part of this coalition. One of the things that Circulate has been asking for, for this, and along with our peers, for this, is that

42 we think this measure incorporates policies that help finance affordable homes. We think there should be a dedicated set-aside funding for the creation of transit oriented affordable homes as part of this measure. And if this is something that SANDAG thinks they don’t currently have adequate legislative authority for, we’d be eager and willing to join with you to seek that authority from Sacramento.

Monique Lopez, Environmental Health Coalition

Monique Lopez - so with that as well we firmly support that this funding doesn’t go toward any further freeway lane addition projects that increase car capacity. And so we are united in this vision and we’d like to ensure that this is done in a way that is not only equitable, but is also beneficial to the environment. And that we can also reach our greenhouse gas emission goals, not only for the state, but also for what cities around the county are setting as well.

Colin Parent, Circulate San Diego

Colin parent - the final three things we want to put in here, that we are all very committed to seeing this measure do, and we think this stuff is a lot that SANDAG is already currently contemplating. We really want to make sure this measure funds transit operations and maintenance. The regional plan that you guys, that SANDAG adopted last year, requires a full half of or a quarter cent sales tax to be dedicated to operations and maintenance in order to make that plan as it stands feasible, so that’s something that we really want to see in the measure being contemplated by SANDAG today. We also think that because this measure is going to be probably raising more funds than it was contemplated by the regional plan, that we should be using some of those excess dollars to help advance, accelerate the construction of transit and active transportation projects. Much like what we heard from the Del Mar fairgrounds before our presentation, we think projects like that should be accelerated because they’re important to the region. We also identified that our group in particular we’re very interested in seeing the Purple Line get built and to be built into this measure and that these new dollars can help accelerate that construction.

Nicole Capretz, Climate Action Campaign

Nicole Capretz with the Climate Action Campaign. So kind of the issue that is over-arching and probably driving a lot of this initiative is related to climate change and what we are going to be doing to protect our future and quality of life for future generations. It is very important to this coalition that we actually are meaningfully reducing our carbon emissions and this is an initiative to help us get there. So we are asking that in this initiative that all the projects are evaluating are actually instrumental in helping us reduce our carbon footprint. And I think while we’ve struggled to connect and be in alignment with SANDAG on where we should be with our carbon reduction goals, I think what we’re going to see are a lot of local climate action plans are going to be driving change. We certainly now have passed the San Diego Climate Action Plan, which has very ambitious goals for better transit and bikeable and walkable communities and they are going to be dependent on SANDAG helping them to meet those goals and I think this year you’re going to see other local cities come online with their own climate plans that will also be legally binding and they are not going to be able to get there on their own. This initiative will be critical to those cities, and I think we’re going to see a change in the dynamic and the kind of perception of what cities are meaning to do. So the other element is that we’d like to prioritize local government funding that’s tied to those cities that are actually taking meaningful action on climate action plans. Just to sum

43 up, we are here because we do want to partner with SANDAG, we would like to help pass this initiative, but only if it supports this vision. We are open to ongoing communications about what that means, but at the end of the day, it’s incumbent on our organizations ensuring we are protecting the future for the next generation, and we believe we have to have better transit, we have to have cleaner air, we have to have bikeable and walkable communities, we have to have good jobs, these are essential components of creating a world-class region. We have had initial conversations with some of the SANDAG leaders on this initiative but I think we would say that it’s been a long time since we’ve had a second conversation. We encourage that we are in broader communication because again, we are representing 20 regional organizations, representing 150,000 residents in San Diego. While we would like to partner at the end of the day, we are dedicated to achieving the vision that we’ve outlined today, thank you.

Maria Cortez, Mid-City CAN

Maria Cortez, Mid-City CAN. I would like to say that I’m also with accelerating the transit because we don’t want to wait another 30 years. But I would like to say that I support the groups that have come forward, I would like to include the YOP to be included in this because with the YOP, we’re going to have the youth opportunity passes, the kids will be able to use the transit, which will also help with the air quality, which will be reducing the emissions, and I support with what the others groups are supporting that we also be included in the initiative. This way our youth will be able to use the bus passes and not use cars not depend on anything but the transportation and also being able to use that centerline. So I hope that we can also be included in what the other groups were supporting and we totally support it and yes for the Purple Line because that is Todd and I’s favorite color.

Kia Bordner, San Diego Resident

Kia Bordner, I’m a native Californian and long term San Diego resident. I have never had a driver’s license. I have raised three adult children to do likewise in this city, however, feel like I’m going to be repeating a lot of what people just said, including these wonderful people, the Quality of Life Coalition, but my point is that we will help you guys, SANDAG, reach your goals. You have goals to create better transit in the city, to create better jobs, and you’re poised, at this point, to provide for San Diego citizens’ needs by promoting programs that will support your goals in an environmentally and socially equitable manner. The Quality of Life Coalition encouraged you to include the youth opportunity passes program as part of your legislation. By promoting San Diego youth with bus passes, you will create a socially responsible generation who will not need to be dependent upon cars, who will be more socially, environmentally conscious, and who will have better public access to the county. Making them available to get to more job opportunities in the county. By providing all San Diego youth with passes, SANDAG can help San Diego strive towards an inclusive economy by supporting families of all income levels. Their youth will not need to rely upon their parent’s cars, time, or already limited financial resources. This in turn supports SANDAG's commitment to a better, cleaner San Diego by helping to off-set the climate issues, as this generation will leave a smaller carbon footprint by utilizing the public transport already in place and more ridership will increase for MTS, and need for better routes to access the rest of the county. When the youth can better access their work with a better improved public transportation system, they’ll keep their workforce within the county, as they’re assured they can get to and from their job wherever they are. The youth opportunity pass program will help SANDAG to achieve its goals, thank you.

44 Sitey Musa, Student – Grossmont College

Sitey Musa, I am a freshman at Grossmont College. I had the chance to get a youth opportunity pass when I attended Crawford High School. Getting the youth opportunity pass really helped me get to places that I need to get, such as to my internship and also to go job hunting. Many students were looking for jobs or had jobs but had no transportation to go to their job. So the youth opportunity pass gave them that chance to do so. So I believe that the youth opportunity pass should be included in the initiative and SANDAG considering, thank you.

Barbara Chavez

Good morning my name is Barbara Chavez, we are very grateful to all the people who have supported us in the past with the youth opportunity program for the students. We ask that SANDAG consider our request and include the youth opportunity passes in the new initiative. We invite SANDAG to look at how the programs in other cities have implemented this and that can be implemented here in Aan Diego as well for all the students who have received the youth opportunity pass, it has been a great tool in helping them achieve great success in many areas, including work and school and extracurricular activities. Less cars means less pollution. Thank you for your support.

Alma Gutiérree, Sherman Heights Resident

Good morning my name is Alma Gutiérree, and I live in the community of Sherman Heights. I am here as a local resident to say that our community wants transportation justice. We need rapid transportation, we need safe transportation. Clean transportation, but in general we want decent transportation for all of us who use public transportation. We need more areas that we can use for cycling and we need more areas for the pedestrians, as well as better streets in our community. We want the resources to be used correctly - we want equity. We don’t want more freeways since that does not really benefit us. We know that SANDAG is planning an initiative, a sales tax increase of half percent. If this initiative will result in more freeways, then we don’t want it and won’t support it. If this initiative is to improve the streets and public transportation like this flyer that you sent us states, then San Diego residents will support it.

Jasmín Zafra, Student - San Diego State University

My name is Jasmín Zafra, and I’m a senior at San Diego state university and a volunteer with Mid- City CAN. I’ve seen the incredible impact that youth opportunity passes have had on families in the community and heard first hand from several students that receiving a youth opportunity pass has opened doors for them and allowed them to become involved in internships and extra-curricular activities that they otherwise would not have been able to participate in. Personally, I see public transportation as a key to my own success. Since moving to San Diego in 2012, I have relied on the bus and Trolley to get me to school, work, and volunteer activities. Beyond being a mode of transportation, taking the bus has made it possible for me to have access to the types of experiences that have helped me to grow throughout my college career, and that will benefit me after graduation. Additionally when I use public transportation, I receive the satisfaction of knowing that I am using an environmentally friendly form of transportation. When I envision the kind of city that I want to live in, and that I would like my future children to live in, I see a city that has clean air, flourishing jobs, and a reliable transportation system. I also see a city in which transportation is not

45 a barrier to anyone, in which students receive no-cost bus passes. I’m calling on SANDAG today to listen to the voices of San Diego residents and adopt our vision for the future.

Roberto Torres, Volunteer - Improving Transportation in City Heights

Good morning, my name is Roberto Torres and I am a volunteer with Improving Transportation in City Heights (ITCH). For the last couple of years ITCH has been working with you to improve to give them the opportunity to have youth opportunity pass, a cost-free pass, that encourages them to use public transportation, get to school, work, internships, and feel overall safer and more in contact with San Diego. The youth opportunity pass has helped many to have a better quality of education by combining the standard classroom lecture with outside learning, students become more aware of what they are learning. From historical monuments to arts and science presentations in museums, youth have a better appreciation of what the city has to offer. This youth opportunity pass has also helped youth get better jobs in places they did not have access to before. Internships that will result in a better quality of life for their future. Furthermore, when we surveyed students with and without passes outer differences were notices. The students with passes are less likely to be a victim or a witness of a violent crime. Students with passes are more likely to use public transportation to get to and from school instead of getting a ride from their parents, reducing traffic in school areas in the morning and in the middle of the day. Students with passes are also more likely to participate in extracurricular activities such as after school programs and volunteering opportunities within and outside of their communities. This is why I encourage that the tax increase that SANDAG is considering includes the youth opportunity pass or a similar program that can provide youth with cost-free passes, giving them access to better jobs and internships, reducing pollution, encouraging education outside of classrooms, and providing them a safe mode of transportation.

Laura Nunn, Policy Director - San Diego Housing Federation

Good morning, I’m Laura Nunn, Policy Director with the San Diego Housing Federation. The Housing Federation believes that in order to truly address regional needs and quality of life in this measure, there needs to be provisions for affordable housing. Regionally, there is a need for 128,000 affordable homes and that need is growing every single day. By SANDAG’s own regional prosperity study, there’s an acknowledgment that by not meeting the housing needs of today, we’re creating the transportation problems of tomorrow. We also know that affordable homes near transit help to meet greenhouse gas reduction goals, and we really believe that this is an important component to regional quality of life. So let’s not wait until it’s too late, let’s include some provisions for affordable housing in this measure.

Mario Amaya

Good morning, my name is `Mario Amaya. First of all I do want to commend the city and county for finally getting serious on the whole transportation issue. I know that it’s been a long road but we’re slowly making progress. I’d also like to call for acceleration of proposed transit lines, specifically the El Cajon Boulevard line that I know is on the table, through Balboa Park, I know is a pretty important transportation corridor. Also possibly looking into something accessing the Hillcrest Uptown area. All these areas that are getting denser and quite frankly, I mean there should be no reason to have driving be mandatory between downtown and these areas. So I hope you take that into consideration. Also, I know there are proposals for street cars and skyways, all of which are pretty good ideas, but they seem to be more of tourist attractions as opposed to serious

46 transportation. I think if we really want to get people out of their vehicles we’d have to provide something fast, safe, with its own right-of-way, that doesn’t have to deal with traffic constraints like a street car would. Optimally, I think that would be a better route to follow.

Andy Hanshaw, San Diego County Bicycle Coalition

Good morning Chair Gloria and members of the committee. Andy Hanshaw, with the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition and also representing a supporting organization with the quality of life coalition. I’ll be brief as we’ve heard their presentation stated quite clearly what we’re prioritizing as well and that’s a safe, sustainable, healthy transportation network that includes a robust investment in active transportation and transit. We’re also supportive, as we all are, of our local and regional initiatives, including the climate action plan and vision zero, and we should strive to help reach those goals and investing in a transportation network that prioritizes active transportation. And lastly, we certainly want to point out that we should do everything we can to accelerate our early action program bike initiatives and projects that include safe and connected infrastructure that will get more people riding and making that smart choice to ride for transportation and help us meet our goals.

Fred Puhn

Hello, I’m Fred Puhn; I’m not a member of special interest groups. I’m just a guy, and I have transportation needs. I drove for 60 years, that’s probably longer than most people and I didn’t start too early. I want to talk about priorities in my two minutes. There’s so many things that we need, and I won’t even discuss freeways. For so called mass transit, here’s my highest priorities: I’m just a guy, I’m an old guy, and I’ve got use to the bathroom every so often. There’s a few old people in the audience that might sympathize with this. How come the mass transit has no bathrooms? None, not even at the stations. This is sick. It’s not event civilized. What do you expect the people to do? Well what I do, is I drive my car. But I actually like mass transit, if it would just be a little bit civilized, a little compassionate to the elderly. The second thing is the bus system although it goes all kinds of places it absolutely sucks. I wanted to take a bus because my car broke down, last resort. I go to a bus stop, I sit on a hard bench, if it was raining, I’d get rained on. I want to know what bus to take, nothing posted. Not even a little plastic card that has the schedules, and how often the buses come, and what days they run, and oh by the way they don’t make change on the bus so you have to have, I don’t even know the fare. It’s not posted. This is not user friendly, it’s horrible. If we could only fix some of these obvious, lower-cost things, people like me would use it. It’s just too difficult and slow to use public transportation. So the people who use it are the ones who can’t use anything else. Thank you very much.

Janet Rogers, Transit Action Network

Hello, I’m Janet Rogers, I’m a co-founder of the Transit Action Network in Kansas City, and January 18th, I moved to San Diego, so I have a few things to continue my transit advocacy, but I am new, so most of them are going to be fairly generic. One of the things I’m concerned about with this funding plan is autonomous vehicles are going to eliminate the need for new highway lanes within the next ten years we can expect to see at least doubling of capacity on the highways with the cars. And this is something even stodgy old GM is changing their business model and saying that the auto industry is going to change more in the next five years than it has in the last fifty. So this is something that needs to be seriously considered, and I would probably not support a plan that is

47 going to be adding lanes, that by the time they are built in say ten years, they won’t be needed because of the impact of autonomous vehicles. The second thing that I wanted to comment on, is does this plan actually comply with U.S. DOT environmental justice guidelines? Part of what they say is that transportation planning is supposed to start with identifying the unmet transportation mobility and accessibility needs of the community. And so does this plan do that? It sounds like there’s a lot of unmet needs out there, such as the last person just mentioned. And those are needs that definitely need to be met. The environmental justice community is basically low-income and minority, so being low-income, it covers seniors, it covers disabled people as well by a large percentage. And so these are needs that need to be met by this plan first, and then some of the more fancy things should be considered. And the last thing I’m a little bit concerned with is the pedestrian signals I’ve seen downtown so far, that I don’t think that they are accessible for blind people and that needs to be corrected as soon as possible.

Arun Prem, FACT

Good morning, I’m Arun Prem representing FACT, a non-profit agency. FACT was designated ten years by SANDAG as the specialized transportation coordinating agency for San Diego under state law Assembly Bill 120 and the CTSA statutes of the state. We strongly support this measure, and I want to congratulate SANDAG staff for the extensive tremendous outreach on this measure and the results. I want to make two recommendations for the consideration of this committee as we move further into detailed planning and they have to do with the senior demographic. We know from SANDAG plans and from elsewhere that the senior population here is going to grow and nation- wide to double by 2050 and the seniors over 75 years in age will triple by the year 2050. So we already know that there’s going to be greater need for senior transportation and that means specialized and customized transportation because a lot of seniors due to infirmity and other issues cannot utilize and many of them are not close to public transit. So coordination, which is our mandate, and our mission, is key to making these services more affordable, more effective, and more accessible to people who need them and that’s what we’ve been doing all this time. The state mandate is obviously state-wide and we have 50 CTSA’s across California who are doing similar things to improve the utilization of transit but also making transit and transportation more cost effective through coordination. So we hope you will keep that in mind as this is developed more. The other CTSA’s across the state are being funded my measures like this one and we have limited TDA funding from the state so we would hope to be included for some of these efforts to continue our work.

Emily Serafy Cox, MAAC

Good morning Chair Gloria and members of the committee, my name is Emily Serafy Cox. I’m here representing MAAC, one of the largest social service agencies in San Diego. We are a member of the Community Budget Alliance, which is also a member of the Quality of Life Coalition that spoke earlier. The students at the MAAC Community Charter School in Chula Vista have been working and talking about transportation justice issues for about 2, maybe 2.5 years now, and have developed a set of thoughts around this. Earlier this week, they participate in your online survey, and overwhelmingly, they prioritized transit and walking and biking, because those are the ways they get around. They prioritized these over freeways and roads. They also asked for the inclusion of a no-cost youth transit pass in the initiative, to follow the example of cities like Oakland, Phoenix, London, New York, San Francisco, just to name a few. As your agenda documents say, the allocation of dollars and percentages still need to be determined so that’s exciting because that means that

48 hopefully the decision is not yet made so I encourage you to weigh the opinions and needs of our youth very heavily in your decision. The youth in San Diego will pay more for this tax than most of us. Forty years from now, I may not no longer be paying taxes, who knows. But they will. So these young people have told me they don’t want to buy cars. They want to use transit, they want to bike and walk, but they need transit and sidewalks and safe spaces that will support their ability to participate in the economy now and in the future.

Nicole Burgess, Bike Advocate

Nicole Burgess. Thank you very much, thank you Mr. Gloria, as well as thank you all here for your time, your leadership, your support. Thank you Caltrans, Laurie, beautiful pedestrian, bicycle advisory committee for Caltrans. We’re making progress. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen many of your faces. Some new ones, some new smiles. For those of you, I’m Nicole - I’m a mom of three, a bike advocated. I ride for transportation. I ride with three teenage kids for transportation. God forbid they want to be normal and go in a car sometimes. But there really is no reason. We an amazing beautiful city. Every time I come to this office and want to speak, I mean, the most beautiful part of today is that I got to enjoy a beautiful ride from Point Loma. But my true, I support all of these groups and all of these comments here. If you go back and look at your regional workshop comments, you’ll find that a lot of these people, a majority of these people are in the room talking active transportation and transit. We need dedication, prioritization, of a bike network. Two percent of our budget, of our transportation budget for the next 35 years, can be spent accelerated, just what their saying in the next 5 to 10 years. We can do it. Barcelona’s doing it, New York is doing it. They are getting ridership. We need 6 percent ridership in San Diego by the time 2020. We need to work with Caltrans; we need to work with you. I’m here to plead, to bargain, to say hey I support this ballot if we can get our people, your goals of your SANDAG regional plan healthy communities. Let’s get our health, our blood moving, innovative mobility. Give them the opportunities to get out there and ride. And vibrant economy, you’ll find that we actually create more jobs, we spend less money, and we get these people out riding and we might not be you, but they are your constituents. They’re people in your neighborhoods. Thank you very much for the invite to provide input that is why I am here. Thank you so much.

Public Comments from the February 5, 2016, Regional Planning Committee Meeting

Dr. Greene, Center on Policy Initiatives

Good afternoon, I’m Dr. Greene with the Center on Policy Initiatives and I’m also a proud resident of El Cajon, and I’m here today with the Quality of Life Coalition. The Quality of Life Coalition is a partnership between community, environmental, advocacy, and labor organizations representing a broad and diverse cross section of San Diego County. It includes over 20 organizations, with a total membership of over 150,000 people. These members are the tax payers who will pay any sales tax measure that we raise and they are the voters who will be needed to pass that measure. We are united around a common vision and that vision is to pass a ballot measure that raises public money and to invest that money in a socially and environmentally equitable manner. We think this measure could help create a more vibrant and inclusive economy that lifts up families, creates healthier communities, and addresses climate change. As you can see from those lists of organizations, you can imagine that it was not easy for us to come up with an agreement around our vision. We respect that, as we think that that represents the difficulty that’s going to come with passing any measure in this regard. But we have done so, we have been able to come up with a shared vision. And we think that represents a broad cross section of San Diego residents and it will be something they can also agree to; and if such a measure is adopted with the elements that we will outline, we will work hard with you to educate and inform our constituents about how this measure benefits them and the region. So here are some of the elements of that vision. First, we focus on, we support the idea of habitat conservation funding that is the sole mandatory element of any measure that we put forward, and there are five north county cities that need habitat funding to complete their sub-area habitat plans – which are Escondido, San Marcos, Vista, Oceanside, Encinitas. We also support using these funds to protect and enhance water quality through better storm water management. This was identified as one of the largest areas of funding shortfall and so funds dedicated here could be leveraged to meet the regional infrastructure need. And that’s especially important because rain water management does not have a funding stream like other forms of water use, water issues. So that’s it for me.

Monique Lopez, Environmental Health Coalition

Monique Lopez, with the Environmental Health Coalition, one of the supporting members of this vision. One of the biggest emphasis of the vision is to invest in this social economic and environmental equity. So with that the coalition members are in agreement that we’d like to see much of this funding dedicated to communities that have been historically looted. For this purpose, we are looking at the California Enviro Screen, but normalizing it for the top 25th percentile of the county so that would actually include places in Escondido in Sam Abed’s district, also places in National City, some places along the 78 as well, and of course, the urban core here. We’d also like to see an equitable transit operations and fare structure so that people of all ages are able to access transit, so with that we support programs such as the Youth Opportunity Transit pass, as well.

Micah Metrosky, Environmental Organizer - IBEW Local 569

Hi everyone, my name’s Micah Metrosky, I’m the Environmental Organizer with IBEW Local 569, the electricians union, and the labor community is a partner in this effort and we support this shared vision. Another element that is critical in this proposed measure is the good jobs component and specifically a project labor agreement. And this is a policy tool that will ensure local hire on

50 SANDAG projects and can also enable targeted hiring, for example, in disadvantaged communities or veteran populations. A project labor agreement ensures we are building good career paths into the middle class with our public dollars, hiring locally, and protecting the health and safety of people working on these projects, which is dangerous, difficult physical work. Thank you.

Monique Lopez, Environmental Health Coalition

We’d also like to see that this funding stream also include affordable housing so that there is certain set asides dedicated for affordable housing. Additionally, in this there was actually a lot of talk this morning that the needs of North County aren’t necessarily the needs of South County. Albeit, that is definitely true, so we see this as an opportunity to really look at the needs of South County as well and in the previous 2004 TransNet measure there was a number of South County freeways that have been locked into place such as the 94, 805, 5, and 15. So we see this as an opportunity to bring this discussion back to voters and see if that’s what they’d like to continue with. But additionally as well, we’d really like to see as well, and I see those smiles over there, it’s okay I smile here too. We’d also like to see that no additional funding is allocated to freeway expansion projects such as adding lanes for freeways throughout the region, and we are unified in this vision as well. We’d also like to see that these transportation plans be, that gets locked into these ballot initiatives that reflects this vision, also be locked into further or future regional transportation plans. Additionally we’d like to see that this fund transit operations and maintenance, which is very badly needed in both North County and South County and dedicate funds to infrastructure projects, transit projects, and active transportation projects so that we can accelerate those projects that are most needed in these communities. And we do list a few projects that we are definitely supportive of such as the Purple Line Project, 550 route as well, and some active transportation projects.

Nicole Capretz, Climate Action Campaign

Nicole Capretz of Climate Action Campaign. We are also supportive of this vision. So the overarching, in our opinion, and in our coalition’s opinion, the overarching policy driver is climate change and what we as a region are going to be doing to reduce our carbon footprint and protect quality of life for future generations. Obviously, transportation is one of, if not the major driver, of climate change in San Diego, so it is imperative that we move to a transportation system that is more dependent on public transit, on bikeable, walkable communities. So we are asking, that as you evaluate your projects, as we are creating the appropriate mix, that there is an emphasis on better transit, on cleaner air, on safer roads, on better jobs, and obviously better transit, biking, and walking opportunities. We would also hope that within this plan that we prioritize local funding that is tied to local climate action plans, because as we know now unfortunately, it wasn’t passed at the Regional Transportation Plan last fall, but now the City of San Diego does have a very ambitious climate action plan with very ambitious mode-share goals for bike, walking, and transit, and they’re going to need SANDAG funding in order to comply with their legally-binding targets. And there’s going to be a host of local climate action plans that come on-line this year and next year that are also going to need SANDAG funding to comply with their legally-binding targets. So, there is a lot of synergy. We haven’t really seen the local governments step up and communicate to SANDAG what their needs are and how important the synergy between all of these plans are going to be, but now that we are looking at a plan for the next 30 years or 40 years it’s imperative that that conversation happen and be intubating the plan. So just to wrap up we are here because we want to partner, we do want to support this measure, we do want to help you get this measure passed,

51 but only if the plan actually supports the vision that we have put forward. And again we are representing 20 regional organizations representing at least 150,000 residents in San Diego. We will be communicating with them about our opinion on this measure and whether it supports the vision that we all want. So we encourage you to have hopefully an open door-open communication policy with us. We’ve had one meeting with some of the leaders of this initiative - that was almost two months ago now. I believe it is time for us to have another conversation so that again we trying to get on the same path and moving in the same direction. We are also open to a variety of ways to make this work. I know that there were concerns this morning expressed that it’s our way or, I don’t want to say, that’s the worst metaphor ever, our way or the highway, our way or the transit line, uh I don’t know, bike path? I don’t know. But we do want to talk, we do want to communicate. We do feel like there is an opportunity for partnership. But again without communication, you know, we’re kind of in limbo here. So thank you for listening to us and that’s where we stand today. Thank you.

Laura Nunn, Policy Director - San Diego Housing Federation

Good afternoon again. Laura Nunn Policy Director with San Diego Housing Federation. We’re here today because the Housing Federation firmly believes that in order for a measure to truly address regional needs and quality of life it should include provisions for affordable housing. Currently there’s a need region-wide of 128,000 affordable homes throughout San Diego County and that need is only going to be growing over the coming years. We know also that affordable housing studies have been done, that affordable housing helps to contribute to greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals. So we believe that this can be an important part of the environmental component to this measure. And further, you know as we you know, more and more cities throughout the county are squeezed with affordable housing - we see, we experience more and more residents having to drive to qualify. When that happens as is noted in SANDAG’s own 2008 Regional Prosperity Study, what we’re doing is the housing problem of today is creating the transportation problem of the future. So let’s not wait. Let’s include something; see what we can do for affordable housing in this measure and we appreciate your support in looking into that. Thank you.

Judy Tentor

Thank you, I would like to say that I absolutely support the Quality of Life Coalition. I think the ideas presented are excellent and all these issues are related and they’re connected by transportation. I do not own a car. I have seen amazing transportation systems in other cities, you can look to Portland, you can look to Barcelona, beautiful cities that people can get around without a car. We need to move away from a car-centric approach to our transportation systems and we may have an opportunity here. I hope that you will consider this. And I’m not anti-car; I actually drove here today. Normally I would bike. But I do want to see a shift in our transportation mode share and I believe the Coalition is proposing a good answer. Thank you.

Jasmin Zafra, Student - San Diego State University

Hi, my name’s Jasmin Zafra and I’m a senior at San Diego State University and also a volunteer with Mid-City CAN, and I also believe strongly in the Coalition’s vision for the future. And to me, transportation is a very personal matter. Because since I moved to San Diego in 2012, I’ve relied on public transportation to get to work, to get to school, to get to my internship, and other volunteer activities. And it has really made all the difference for me in having the kind of opportunities that

52 are going to help me succeed later on in life. And I see this very much also in the Youth Opportunity Pass Program that has been piloted through San Diego and I would like to see this sort of opportunity expanded throughout the different regions of San Diego so that everyone can benefit from this great opportunity. And I’d just like to say that when I envision what kind of future I want to live in and the kind of future that I want for my children I see a place where there are flourishing jobs, clean air, and a great transportation system; where transportation does not act as a barrier for anyone. And I think that a big part of this is to provide no-cost bus passes for students. And that is all. Thank you.

53 Attachment 1c Survey Comments As of 2/5/16 at 3:30 p.m.

Place of Comments Residence More transit, trolley and rail service, plus more bicycling lanes and bicycling lanes separate from Carlsbad major roads. Carlsbad More frequent Coasters, maybe every 15-20 minutes during high traffic times. We need more frequent Coaster trains and/or bus service to and from Sorrento Valley to North Carlsbad County. The big gaps in the train schedule present is a big impediment to increasing ridership. Carlsbad I-5, SR 78 interchange to be done before 2025 or 35.

Carlsbad Decking over the freeways is great! Keep going!

Carlsbad Restore Buena Vista and Agua Hedionda Lagoons. Light rail line alongside or in the middle of Palomar Airport Road/San Marcos Boulevard that connects Poinsettia Coaster Station to San Marcos Civic Center Sprinter Station. Light rail line Carlsbad alongside or in the middle of El Camino Real Boulevard that connects Solana Beach Coaster Station & El Camino Real Sprinter Station. Congestion on I-5 north of 56 impacts my quality of life every day. Mass transit projects spend a Carlsbad lot of money for little benefit. Don't do another project like Sprinter. Carlsbad Accelerate the expansion of the I5 corridor as much as possible You idiots need to focus on easing highway gridlock by adding lanes to existing freeways and ELIMINATING those stupid carpool/HOV lanes!! Those lanes INCREASE gridlock! And stop your Carlsbad socialist agenda of forcing the public to use trains, buses, bikes, and your ridiculous gondola fantasy as means of transportation! None of them are practical, they are expensive, and they are useless! The I-5 corridor and access to San Diego is horrible. We sometimes cancel out going to SD due to Carlsbad the traffic. Waterfront developed so that it preserves open spaces, allowing for all kinds of activities and to grow organically without being commercially blighted. Carlsbad Convention center expanded. Qualcomm given to the universities as education is the engine for growth. I am interested in learning about senior services transportation to private homes, not just the Carlsbad senior communities. In Pennsylvania where I'm originally from, there is a senior service called Access that costs $5 no matter where you go within a 20 mile radius. Uber is $10-20 each way. Eliminate car pool lanes. It's an expensive social experiment that has failed. Lanes are Carlsbad underutilized. It'll improve traffic flow at high traffic conditions (i.e., Rush Hour), reduce emissions, reduce overall fuel consumption and reduce commute times.

Carlsbad I would like to see better interconnection of the region's trails, both riding and hiking. I think there could be a big traffic reduction around schools if there were dedicated walking/bicycle paths leading from the residential neighborhoods to the elementary and middle Carlsbad schools. This would mean paths separated from the roads and pedestrian bridges over major streets. Kids this age are happy to ride bikes and this would eliminate the "moms in minivans" traffic jams that we always see around the schools. Please finish the coastal pathway for bicycling and walking between Oceanside and Solana Beach...perhaps taking an inland route at La Costa to utilize the path parallel to El Camino Real Carlsbad between La Costa and Leucadia Boulevard and then use the utility lines pathway to get to Manchester to circumvent the crowded Encinitas section...also big need for a safe path Oceanside Harbor thru Camp Pendleton to connect with Las Pulgas Bikeway to San Clemente

54 Place of Comments Residence The loss of traffic flow on Camino Del Mar near Carmel Valley Road has further restricted access to the UCSD/Scripps Mesa. That area has too few options already. Traffic needs to be restored to Carlsbad 2 lanes in each direction- including both bridges between Carmel Valley Road and Torrey Pines golf course. More Desalination plants More New housing projects should be required to have grey water Carlsbad systems and reclaimed water piping systems. Carlsbad Improved and more frequent Trolley service to north county coastal. Carlsbad Building a county wide metro system like other big cities in US and in the world. We are critically in need of better highways!! My 3 projects would be Highways, Highways, Highways. I see huge public transit buses with 2 or 3 people on them never more than 5!!!! The Carlsbad people you represent need highways NOT PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION - IT IS NEITHER DESIRED OR AT ALL CONVENIENT FOR WORKING PEOPLE --- A HORRIBLE WASTE OF TAX PAYER DOLLARS!!!! YOU SHOULD PROPERLY REPRESENT THE PEOPLE THAT FUND YOUR JOBS!!!

Carlsbad Completion of public rail trails and other walking/biking trails in North county. The I-5 from Solana Beach through Oceanside needs to be widened to handle the ever- increasing volume of traffic - this is an immediate need. I'd also like to see a separate 2-lane bike Carlsbad path all the way from Oceanside to San Diego downtown (like the one on 101 between Oceanside and Carlsbad) because riding on the roads on in bike paths along the side of the road is too dangerous and prone to accidents. I do not want to see any more significant housing growth in the area. It is already too crowded. Carlsbad I will vote for anti-growth candidates and against pro-growth candidates. Thanks. Use of walking bridges, openings, paths, grouping of contiguous retail so that communities are Carlsbad connected, retail centers and strips are walkable and connected and walking and biking is made easy, safe and removed entirely from auto traffic. I would like to see more infrastructure to support bike commuting and bicycle use. I'd like to see greater enforcement of cell phone talking/texting while driving laws, and more education as to Carlsbad the perils of distracted driving. And I'd like drivers to be reminded of their responsibility for the safety of our more vulnerable users with whom they share the roadways. Better transit outside downtown SD. Just try to see how long it takes to go 5 miles on one of the Carlsbad ridiculous circuitous bus routes. Try just running the main roads and let people walk between. Transit: More frequent rail service between North County and downtown Highways: Alleviate traffic on 805 and 5 in the La Jolla/University City area, improve the scary Carlsbad 78-5 junction. City Projects: keep up the good work on beach sand replenishment. I don't want to see Carlsbad's Measure A pass because of the impact on traffic in our area. Furthermore, I think it important that SD's grand jury examine the goings-on between the Carlsbad Carlsbad major and the City Council. Their approval of various Carlsbad traffic/pedestrian control issues, limited police staffing, the special election and the Caruso 85/15 initiative have made little sense unless the Mayor and Council have their own illicit, non-transparent agenda. Actual biking lanes and hiking trails. More PM Coaster runs. More parking structures in Carlsbad downtown San Diego! Carlsbad Join coaster system with MidCoast Trolley Project.

Carlsbad Improving bikeability when the weather is so nice so much in our town.

Carlsbad Better beach parking and access throughout San Diego County. There has been too much emphasis on highways and biking. There should be more emphasis on Carlsbad walking and public transit. Separate biking and walking and do not lump them together under active transportation. Carlsbad Eliminate infrastructure backlog of repair & maintenance.

55 Place of Comments Residence I-5 and 78 intersection must be upgraded. Take the carpool lane all the way into Orange County. If you want people off freeways you need to make the Coaster and Metrolink more like BART ... Carlsbad at least hourly transportation during the day where you can do it. If you can't go all the way to San Diego because of track issues, increase frequency of travel where you can. It doesn't have to be all or nothing! These would be nice to see deployed: Carlsbad http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/dutch-junction_us_56a0260be4b0d8cc1098b7b3 Carlsbad Bus rapid transit where the Purple Line is proposed to go. Improve traffic flow on I 5 through city limits. If 85/15 passes we will never be ever to get on the Carlsbad I 5 or move south for 4-5 miles. I for one would like to see prime areas set aside for agriculture and farms. Protected lands that are not subjected to whims of local city zoning. Not up for sale to build housing/strip malls. Not Carlsbad subject to tax increases as commercial or residential. It would serve as an emergency food supply that would not have to be brought in from outside sources and in the meantime local sale of production. Also I would like light rail to be add along highway corridors. Please reduce the toll charges on SR 125, or at least cap the charges for a family of 4 users. We the residents shouldn't have to pay for the roads since the developers have already dedicated Carlsbad the land and paid their due shares, Please consider. My payment is at least $400for my household with two teenagers. That's a car payment. Please do something. Thank you. Safer bicycle lanes for commuting (including to schools); more places to lock one's bike; better Carlsbad local transportation. Anything to protect the environment and reduce our dependence on cars. I want responsible use of taxpayer dollars. There's so much waste in this county & too many old persons go without meds & food because they just don't have money. Too many veterans die while they're waiting for health care. What are cities doing, they're spending millions for Carlsbad roundabouts, public art & other stuff that does nothing for either the public good or public interest. ONLY SPEND TAXPAYER MONEY TO THINGS THAT ARE REALLY NEEDED AND THAT CAN UNIVERSALLY USED BY THE WHOLE POPULATION. The projects listed above are all important and should all be addressed. I have listed them in my personal order of importance: Transit Habitat Conservation Active Transportation Water Quality Carlsbad Highways City Projects

I would love to see protected bike lanes on all the freeways. Do not make the citizens pay for a new football stadium! Make the NFL and the Spanos family pay for it. "Water quality" in that I'd like the water that comes out of my tap not to cause me to gag. Runoff and sewage: The system was obsolete and dilapidated 40 years ago. Why don't you just Carlsbad continue to let the developers do whatever they want and make a lot of money for yourself like your predecessors did. Your "survey" forces certain conclusions because your categories are so over lapping. A decent idea can't be expressed here. Fix the gridlock on the freeways! People in San Diego will always drive - it has always been our way of life. But there has been no effort to keep up with the demand on the freeways. Instead efforts have been made to add more public transportation but it is incredibly inefficient and Carlsbad inconvenient. It takes significantly longer to take public transportation and it is incredibly expensive. I would like to see lanes added to freeways to increase the capacity - and not just carpool lanes.

56 Place of Comments Residence Improve public transport, bus service, Trolley, and safer bicycle paths. Slow down more housing, We need Quality of life, not just traffic jams. Less pollution, crime. A future to enjoy a walk, a Carlsbad ride or just fresh air and not exhaust. No More Bigger Highways, drug traffic does not need improvement or lives do. I'm a retired engineer, that used I5 for over 30 years, the highway traffic was the most dangerous part of my job, and I worked at the Nuclear plant. Make Train crossings silent. AS the bells and warning lights go off, I'm baffled why the train Carlsbad operator has to blow his horn. Carlsbad Keep our lagoons healthy and protected. Most important improvement is building the very best freeway system to allow our residents to get to work, shopping, entertainment quickly and without tie-ups. Local bike paths are nice, but Carlsbad unnecessary, and I am tired of seeing empty buses paid for by us taxpayers trying to entice users. Stop it. Build the freeways we need. Not a penny more !!!! NOTHING !!! SANDAG has been ripping off the taxpayers for years !! Carlsbad What do you do with all the money you collect now?? Infill development along mass transit corridors. Lilac Hills is exactly the opposite - It is old style Carlsbad development in a rural area and requiring residents to increase long-distance car traffic. Carlsbad Bringing mass transit directly to the San Diego airport. El Camino Real should be continued through the county so that it can become an alternative north and south route. Coast Highway should be reduced to one lane each way throughout the Carlsbad county so that it no longer is seen as an alternative to I 5. Also the speed limit on Coast Highway should be reduced to 35 miles per hour. Coast Highway should have pedestrian and bike access to make it much more of a promenade. Making mass transit more convenient, frequent and accessible. Ensure our water is a high Carlsbad quality and safe rally is number one. Mass transit is number two. Number three would be to maintain what we have in our roadways to ensure safety for all. Carlsbad I would like the Carlsbad Lagoons to be preserved entirely, without commercial development Extend interior, city roads to better connect areas. I.e., Canon road to better connect Carlsbad to Carlsbad Oceanside. Pushing more traffic to highways is not the solution. Better mass transit to get people off dangerous roads. Carlsbad Please complete the coastal bicycle rail trial through Encinitas and Carlsbad. More consideration of the needs of seniors who do drive and those who need alternate means of transportation. Perhaps freeway safe lanes for seniors or handicapped drivers, special lanes Carlsbad for handicapped mobile carts and other motorized small vehicles in addition to bike lanes on residential streets. Stop building until there is enough affordable water & power & appropriate ways to move Carlsbad people around. Put mass transit down middle of freeways instead of widening for more lanes. Too much gridlock locally & regionally. Enforce driving laws more. Fix the 5 - 78 interchange. Too many people are cutting through city streets to avoid freeways. This makes intersections more dangerous and general inconveniences to local residents. It’s one Carlsbad thing to move people within cities but poor design if people are simply using city streets as shortcuts between freeways. Rapid transit. With continued home building in our coastal cities we cannot continue to just Carlsbad expand our freeways. We must move to more local and regional rapid methods of transit. Please help in not letting the 85/15 (Measure A) project pass. This will devastate our city. From Carlsbad our beautiful lagoon to open space, to traffic and so on. This project is much too large for that precious land. I would also like to see beach replenishments and restoration after this El Niño. Carlsbad Increased hours on the coaster. Increased rail trail paths for bike commuting.

57 Place of Comments Residence Please stop using funds that all the driving public pays into on limited use things like carpool lanes. Expand the freeway for all to handle the traffic flow instead of social engineering Carlsbad projects. Make our mass transit really usable (frequent schedules in all directions all day and evening) even if it means losing money for a while. If it’s not easily usable and a viable alternative, it will not be used and cars will. Our community has a big public health situation that has existed for some time and getting worse. It has to do with the clearing and dredging of the Buena Vista Lagoon at Hwy 78 & I-5. Carlsbad The tulle plants are chocking the fresh water, the mosquitoes are biting & spreading West Nile and water flow is slowing as tulle plants encroach on and upon the water. The very slow moving water creates perfect mosquito breeding!! Complete the planned managed lane project on I-5 to Oceanside (per TransNet ballot measure) as soon as possible. Create an incentive program to accelerate the turnover of the vehicle fleet Carlsbad to zero emission vehicles - that would be the most assured and cost-effective way of achieving greenhouse gas reduction goals. What I 'don't' want to see is a new mall along the I-5 in Carlsbad (Prop A) that will only serve to Carlsbad add considerable congestion in an already busy corridor. We need better transportation services for the developmentally disabled, especially for those Carlsbad who live in the LIFT donut hole. The developmentally disabled are the population least able to advocate for themselves. Service was cut off and no available options. Carlsbad I am against any tax increase. I support additional investments in public transportation options (trains, trolleys, etc.) and safer bike lanes. I DO NOT SUPPORT investments in widening freeways or road improvements. The Carlsbad question should be "how do we get more people out of their cars" NOT "how do we move traffic faster. We need better roads to support goods movement and tourism. Plus, it is important for me to get to work. I can't take transit because I have several meetings during the day that I would Carlsbad never get to if I had to take transit. It is just not practical for everyone. I do however, ride my bike to work and for fun. There are areas that are sketchy that would need a better bike lane. For instance, Moreno Boulevard or parallel streets to get to Santa Fe Drive. The most important thing to me is the addition and improvement of public transportation like commuter rail, bicycle support, and other forms of alternative transport. With the rampant over Carlsbad development of North County, we will never be able to build enough freeway unless we change our culture to use alternative methods of transport. To do so we need to provide ample alternatives to driving everywhere. Our air, water, and environment will all benefit. Carlsbad More train service. Increase bicycle lanes and bicycle parking. Increase dirt trails throughout Carlsbad for mountain bike travel. Synchronize lights at peak times to move cars through busy streets such as El Camino Carlsbad Real. Increase frequency of Coaster routes. Increase traffic flow on northbound I5 through Del Mar between 4-7 p.m. Carlsbad More public transit like the Coaster, Trolley and Breeze. I'd like to see bus service from San Elijo Hills, in San Marcos, to the Poinsettia Coaster Station. Carlsbad The route would be San Elijo to Melrose to Alga to Poinsettia to the Coaster Station. It could run 1/2 hourly during rush hour and hourly during the rest of the day. We need to make strategic investments into public transportation and alternatives to driving for Carlsbad our growing senior population. We are an aging society and the boomers are first wave. Their grandchildren are an even larger cohort and will eventually also age out of driving. No more taxes, though! Preserve and enhance the open space we have left. Lower the density Carlsbad of residential projects. Reduce the number of traffic signals and stop signs. Eliminate shallows. Double track the train tracks from LA to San Diego. Bury or place the tracks in a "canyon" in Carlsbad urban areas.

58 Place of Comments Residence 1) Would like to see expanded hours for the Coaster, especially during the non-commute hours. This would make travel to/from Lindberg Field more practical. 2) Would like to see greater enforcement of speeding laws on I-5 especially during the non- Carlsbad commute hours when many drivers exceed the posted speed limits by a wide margin. 3) Would like to see fewer fly-overs of residential areas by aircraft taking off from the Palomar- McClellan airport by instituting a no turns before I-5 rule. Carlsbad Dedicated bicycle lanes separate from automotive traffic with their own signals Instead of continuously widening I-5, can we please consider building a Coaster railway down the middle of the freeway. That way everyone sitting in their cars will see the Coaster cruising Carlsbad right past them every day and they'll be encouraged to get out of their vehicles. It would also be great if we had a Coaster with a better schedule. I can never seem to find a train when I need one. Complete the coastal rail/trail from Oceanside to San Diego. Carlsbad Rethink transportation planning in ways that are not car-centric. I would like you to consider a bike/running path north from Oceanside along the freeway/train Carlsbad tracks that does not require entering the Marine Base. We need to be smart about growth and transportation. Communities that are walkable with transport hubs and services such as schools and businesses that are pedestrian accessible are key. Carlsbad Sitting in traffic isn't good for families or the environment and more highways won't solve the problem. I want a San Diego where I can walk the kids to school, jump on efficient mass transit and after work be near enough to restaurants and shops that I can walk to. Construct a roundabout at Palomar Airport Road and Carlsbad Boulevard and also construct a Carlsbad pier in the same location. Carlsbad Habitat restoration especially near transit or transportation corridors. I would like to see improvements to roads such as: adding and fixing bike lines, fixing potholes, etc. I would also like to see an improvement to the transportation system, especially in Chula Chula Vista Vista. It would be helpful to have the buses run later. For example the 705 stops pretty early in the night, especially on weekends. Furthermore it doesn't run on Sundays. I feel this is an important bus because it's the only bus in CV that goes to Plaza Bonita.

Chula Vista More bike lanes, more passenger trains and light rail.

Expand the San Diego Trolley to neighborhoods within San Diego. I think that it would be Chula Vista helpful to have some trains go into Hillcrest, North Park, City Heights, Chula Vista (Towards Bonita/Otay), Airport, Point Loma. Keep expanding the Trolley Service County Wide. Chula Vista Water Quality should also be a top priority. I'd like to see viable (about an hour or less) public transport from the south bay to the job Chula Vista centers in Sorrento Valley and Clairemont areas. Don't waste money. The Palomar exit on the 805 freeway is estimated to cost over Chula Vista $1,000,000,000. This is ridiculous. Think how many pot holes could be filled with that amount! Chula Vista Improve public transportation making it more practical to use avoiding having to use auto I am reluctant to support any property or sales tax increase after seeing San Diego City and County propose hundreds of millions of dollars on a stadium to have a football team. I think Mass Transit is important but any tax increases for transportation should be like increasing gas Chula Vista taxes or user fees. Let the users pay for any so-called improvements. Any other taxes, such as active transportation or city projects are really a slush fund for politicians pandering to a highly verbal constituency. Street repairs and resurfacing in Chula Vista. Additional desalination facilities like Sweetwater Chula Vista Water Authority has. Chula Vista Road resurfacing with noise reducing material. Improve residential quality of life.

59 Place of Comments Residence Upgrade/improve streets, sidewalks and lighting in western Chula Vista. Chula Vista Acquire and protect additional open space. Advance the gondola idea for additional transportation options. Chula Vista San Diego needs even better water management, more reservoir capacity, etc. In addition to expanded Trolley service I would like to see litter abatement and highway/road Chula Vista appearance improved. I am shocked at the filth I see, particularly in South Bay, on our roadways and streets. Third world comes to mind. Extend the reclaimed water piping system to use more of the water for irrigation instead of Chula Vista dumping it into the ocean. Build the sound wall from the E street on ramp to 805 south through to the H street exit on 805 Chula Vista south. We need catch basins for rainwater runoff. Minimize auto parking from apartments, condos in Chula Vista residential neighborhoods. Auto parking by renters should be confined to their parking areas. Stop the graffiti! Enforce noise from motorcycles and cars which includes radio noise. All south bay cities need some sort of mass transit with easy transfers from south to north county. As it is, a commuter cannot get "here" from "there". This is why so many of us stay in Chula Vista our cars, absolutely no way to commute from outlying housing areas to jobs. We also do not mind paying a reasonable toll to cut time and the use of gasoline off our commutes. Protected bike lanes per Assembly Bill 1193: We live in a perfect climate for cycling. Many more people would commute by bicycle (like I do) but are intimidated by traffic. Painting lines on the Chula Vista street and putting a few signs up does not make a bike route. Go to YouTube and see how Copenhagen and Amsterdam actively encourage cycling and use separated lanes. The payoff is fewer cars, cleaner air and a healthier working population. I believe that the popularization of entrepreneurship will be as important to progress for this generation as the popularization of knowledge work (and spread of information technology, Chula Vista higher education, R&D labs and corporations) was to the last century. Whatever we can do towards that end will help to make this area flourish. Trolley system that runs down the center of freeways; maybe more people would use public Chula Vista transit and alleviate some highway congestion. Chula Vista Improve, expand and maintain all roads to a high level of excellence. Conservation is the highest priority to limit sprawl, curtail water needs, and contain problems the other categories address. All other programs need and deserve attention for their effects on Chula Vista quality of life. There must be a balance between funding all categories with a priority to address underserved communities. Other needs include programs for homelessness; securing areas for recreation (hike, bike, horse) separate from preserves; and a meaningful carbon reduction plan. north and south bound 94/125 merger is always a bottle neck in the morning north bound and Chula Vista afternoon south bound. Chula Vista The Otay Lakes Regional Park is wonderful open space for hiking. Thank you!! Seria excelente que llegara el Trolley al área Este de Chula Vista, a la zona de East lake, Otay, Chula Vista etc. Please finish the Southbound 125 on-ramp and northbound 125 off-ramp at San Miguel Ranch. Chula Vista Also, please get rid of all tolls on the 125. Businesses are struggling in this region and the tolls are preventing people from traveling to the area for business. Commuting has to improve. Highway improvements and critical but CONVENIENT and rapid Chula Vista transit must happen soon. It is impractical to use most transit services because of the time required. Chula Vista Precio de utilidades especialmente electricidad. There are no reasonable transportation alternatives for my work commute between Chula Vista Chula Vista and La Jolla. Traffic is gridlocked both ways. Freeways need more capacity. As a side note, the carpool lane in the South Bay on 805 north has done NOTHING to relieve traffic.

60 Place of Comments Residence Fix the roads, city and highway. Improve transit, I think more folks would use it if it moved more Chula Vista efficiently and connected more communities faster. Timing traffic lights to keep traffic moving and not stopping at every intersection due to a red Chula Vista light! What a concept, no? I would like to see a sound wall built along the 805 southbound lanes from Bonita Road/E Street Chula Vista to H Street in Chula Vista as promised to knock down the sound from increased traffic on the 805. Protected bikeways paralleling freeways. allowing bicycle commuters to bike to work or Chula Vista through the county quickly and easily. I know I could go from Chula Vista to Mission Valley faster on a bike than in a car during rush hour times. We need to continue the work that connects communities to work locations by continuously improving our transit and highway systems. One area that I recommend focusing on is Chula Vista transportation for youths at an extremely low cost. We have hundreds and hundreds of youths that struggle to get to school every day. I have extremely limited options regarding wheelchair accessible transportation. The para- transit program requires me to be transported 2 hours earlier than appointments and is too expensive to use to access the community. Terrible to live in a community that is diverse and Chula Vista filled with opportunities that I can't access because of a lack of transportation options. My property taxes are so high I often don't have money for food so I am relegated to the 4 walls of my home as the years pass by. #1 Priority: Highways. Repair potholes and uneven pavement sections. Improve capacity of I-5, I- 805 and some sections of I-8 and I-15 and major state highways that clog during heavy traffic. Chula Vista Additional HOV projects are not the answer, need more "regular" lanes, better merge/divide intersections and on/off ramps. Water Quality: Develop reasonable means to capture, clean and re-use rainstorm runoff. Chula Vista Expand the Trolley system. HOV lanes on all of the I-5, although they should be the flexible ones like in NorCal where any Chula Vista car can use them off-peak. Something done to help with commuter traffic on the freeways it shouldn't take 2 hours to Chula Vista travel from Miramar Road to Chula Vista after the work day. I would like to see a comprehensive transit system that allows a person to travel from anywhere in the county to the job centers in Sorrento Valley and Downtown in 60 minutes or less. Chula Vista I'd also like to see the HOV lanes better regulated or at least made a for pay option as too many people at the moment abuse it (if it’s too traffic they will just switch to the HOV lane as they have no fear of police catching them). We urgently need for light rail to be extended into the Otay Ranch / Eastlake areas of Chula Vista to alleviate traffic on the 125, 805, and 5. Rapid bus service alone will not meet the needs Chula Vista and will be stuck in the same congestion as other vehicles. Improving job opportunities in Chula Vista will reduce the need to commute elsewhere. Provide public transportation to residents of Chula Vista who live east of Hunte Parkway At Chula Vista present there is no service for residents who do not drive. Expanded Trolley service to the South Bay/Eastlake area. HOV lanes in southbay should allow Chula Vista transponders to be used as they do via I-15 highways. Chula Vista More Trolley lines in the eastern portions of the southbay. Chula Vista make the 125 FREE. The BART transit system in the Bay Area is amazing. It is reliable, accessible and easy. Could San Diego mirror or at least take some ideas from BART? Where I live in Eastlake there is little to no Chula Vista access to public transportation. I would have to drive miles, park my car all day and not even reach my destination since the Trolley system does not have the infrastructure to provide accessible transportation. Chula Vista Get rid of the South Bay Toll Road. Make it open to all.

61 Place of Comments Residence Chula Vista Improve the junctions between the 15 & 805 freeways. We need a mass transit system similar to the BART system in San Francisco and metro in Seattle, Chula Vista WA. Chula Vista Connecting main street, Chula Vista to the 125 Litter!! Wherever I travel in the rest of the U.S., the roadsides and public spaces are clean. Please Chula Vista find out what causes San Diegans to throw trash EVERYWHERE. It endangers our fellow creatures, and it is killing my soul. Continuous cleanups treat only the symptom, not the disease. Chula Vista Provide on ramp and off ramp on the 125 at San Miguel Ranch Road Trolley system that runs through to east Chula Vista. Bringing people out to the new Millennia Chula Vista project, university satellite campuses and Otay Ranch Mall. Chula Vista Chula Vista / National City / San Diego waterfront project Recovery of storm water. Most of it washes out into the ocean. In a time of drought, it is of Chula Vista critical importance to recover as much fresh water as possible. Two areas that need help: 1 - improve travel from the south county - especially east CV. Currently no Trolley, high speed bus or other efficient way to travel from east CV to downtown Chula Vista SD or other pts north. Only car ( toll road for many) to several already crowded freeways. North county has coaster & buses. Why not same in south? 2 - mass transit to the airport!! Trolley is close but not connected. At least free shuttle from the nearest Trolley stop (like LAX). 125 toll is of concern as to the high fee to commute from San Miguel Ranch Road to the 54, there is still many people traveling the back way to avoid the cost to travel on the short distance Chula Vista to the 54. By reducing the fee it would help to relive traffic on Miguel Road via Proctor Valley Road Thanks Raymond Ruiz Chula Vista I would like to see free tolls on the 125 for carpools and motorcycles. Chula Vista City road repair. Many of the San Diego roads are full of pot-holes and need repair . Chula Vista Most Kaiser locations are not reachable by transit. I can reach about , but Vandever? Recommend express Trolley services rather than just Trolleys that stop at every station. We need to do something about the traffic, and expanding/improving Trolley service and making safe Chula Vista bike trails (away from traffic) around the city/county would improve our quality of life. Thank you for allowing us to make suggestions! With ever increasing population highways must keep up or extend commuting time for those that work. There are other sources of funds for the rest. The answer to every issue is not always Chula Vista higher taxes instead of user fees so that those who use the enhancement are the ones who pay for it. That is why a sales tax increase should be destined to something that practically everyone uses. Chula Vista I would like to see more sidewalks and benches to promote walking for older generation The residents of South Bay would like to lift the toll road. No other residents are forced to pay tolls to reduce traffic time. Those who use the toll elevate road traffic, save gas causing less Chula Vista pollution. Some families are paying up to 300$ a month in tolls. That's can be a car payment for many. I think most bike lanes that are shared with cars are unsafe. As a rider I see a lot of people on cell phones, particularly when going from parking driveways to street. There should be a Chula Vista greater effort to find places to ride away from cars. Also, public transportation is too slow to get around in a timely manner. I also do not believe or feel safe on Trolley. Chula Vista Trolley stop at Balboa Park. I'd like to see in the expanded transit system that includes the South Bay/Otay Ranch area and Chula Vista the airport. I would also like to see something like New York's Highline and a good running path-parks-amenities along the SD River. It seems almost invisible an incredibly underused. Direct public transportation from South Bay to Coronado, to reduce morning and evening work Chula Vista traffic.

62 Place of Comments Residence Safe bike travel- main roads, freeway on and off ramps are frequently built with no thought for Chula Vista safe travel for bikes and pedestrians. Bike paths are built, then not maintained or are chopped up with uncoordinated construction projects/quick land use changes by port or other authority. Chula Vista Expand Trolley lines to eastern areas in the south bay. Chula Vista remove tolls on 125 to take traffic off Olympic Parkway, telegraph canyon and H street Binational pulse report, on the issues, players and projects and how they evolve through the Chula Vista region. Also a binational projects office from both Mayors, no more MOU's more MOA's memorandums of action. The ITC (Intermodal Transportation Center) & San Ysidro infrastructure needs to be Chula Vista implemented ASAP. Fix infrastructure. Water supply and drainage first and second. Streets, highways and roads, Chula Vista third, fourth and fifth. Remove tolls from the 125. Stop wasting money subsidizing public transportation that almost no Chula Vista one uses, and never will, and focus on the roads that nearly everyone must drive in their cars to make a living. Convert carpool lanes to regular lanes that benefit everyone. Our new HOV freeway lanes are a case of all dressed up and nowhere to go. SoCal HOV lanes are off-limits to solo drivers during non-commute hours, but those elsewhere in CA aren't. This is burdensome to our military, whose work hours differ from non-military employees'. Gov. Chula Vista Brown's intransigence AND the failure of our Legislators to override his vetoes of bills opening up our lanes perpetuate this predicament. SD's delegation should lead the effort to override these vetoes. It is crucial community input to shape the investment priorities SANDAG is considering for the ballot measure to increase our local sales tax. SANDAG's investments will only move our region Chula Vista if it prioritizes clean air, better transit, and good jobs. NO project does that better than the Youth Opportunity Pass (YOP) Program, which would provide no-cost transit passes to all students in our region. Please invest our tax dollars wisely and invest in YOPs! It is crucial community input to shape the investment priorities SANDAG is considering for the ballot measure to increase our local sales tax.

Increasing bike lanes, paths and trails for all the communities AND working with SANDAG to put Chula Vista up signs for drivers to be aware of the riders and pedestrians in busy areas. Our roads within the city and suburbs need desperate repair. I have seen so many streets with pot holes! Beaches, roads to walking and bike riding need improvement. Most important to me Chula Vista is cleaning storm water drains and runoffs. Old water pipes need immediate replacement and many homes and properties have been damaged as a result. ALL the money accumulated as assets for these projects MUST be used accordingly! I'd like to see the various light rail and streetcar projects in the 2050 regional plan actually start Chula Vista to get some traction. Also, transit projects should be as close to high density areas as possible instead of on the easiest route that is kind of close (I.e., the i-15 corridor). Chula Vista Protection of the marshland around the Living Coast (formerly Nature Center) Got a few minutes? Contact me and I'll email the entire communication which is definitely Chula Vista greater than 500 words. Why the limitation? Can someone please contact me so that I can completely communicate my entire thought to SANDAG. Any of the above, just not a stadium! Don't shoehorn or backdoor the stadium plan into one of Chula Vista these categories. That would be deceptive and a bad business practice.

63 Place of Comments Residence Encourage all businesses and companies in the San Diego region to develop a program such that Chula Vista their respective employees will drive to and from work at a staggered time such that traffic gridlock is minimized. Habitat Conservation and responsible access to those lands to enjoy everything nature has to provide. That in turn helps maintain high levels of water quality and also gives San Diego Chula Vista residents great opportunities to stay active. Give San Diego residents a way to actively transport themselves from point A to point B through open space and alongside protected lands. I'm a west Chula Vista resident and I'm concerned with the traffic on both the 805 and the 5 freeways during rush hour. If we had a Trolley line or any type of rail system going to and from Chula Vista Eastlake, it would alleviate a lot of traffic congestion on both freeways and also on the local streets. Freeway 125 has helped but it is not enough because people do not want to pay the toll. Want to see a continued focus on improving the regional highway network while concentrating on improvements to local transportation with emphasis on improvements that support Chula Vista pedestrian friendly biking, walking and transit access. I commute every day and the drive often is a grueling experience. I love the idea of less driving, but the reality for commuters is that there is a drive. Let's find a way to minimize traffic and de-stress the ride. Add cameras to the 805 N/S HOV lanes to keep the cars in that lane honest. Ticket the single Chula Vista drivers. It would be nice to have some dedicated bike lanes (like freeways) N/S without having to go through no so good neighborhoods and so many turns. me gustaria que como region metropolitana binacional el troley llegara hasta tecate pasando por tijuana, creo que esa seria la manera de acortar el tiempo en los cruces de garita, igualmente los autobuses seria el mismo efecto positivo para la zona de cruces, se crearia una Chula Vista empresa binacional unicamente para cubrir esta zona de confort para estimular el deshuso del carro para visitar por turismo o por negocios las ciudades antes mencionadas por ciudadanos de ambos paises. the expansion of Otay Mesa Xing for more truck traffic will have an very negative effect on the already over-burdened 805. Dumping more trucks onto 805 at commute hours is a bad idea. Meter truck traffic at rush hours, incent to take 125 and police their aggressive driving (scream Chula Vista up a right exit-only lane & jump back into traffic at the final second). Hwy 125: Discounts for SDSU students, monthly unlimited tolls. For most NB commuters 125 is NOT practical option I would like to be able to make my commute in under an hour---from Eastlake in Chula Vista to Carmel Valley. I would love to have some sort of transit system that would allow me to make Chula Vista that commute but there is nothing practical that goes out east. I would settle for an expansion of the 805 or 5 that would help alleviate the bottleneck around the merge----additional lanes or expressways (I would be willing to pay as I do for the Southbay Expressway) Traffic is killing me. A MTS line extended out to eastern Chula Vista (Otay Ranch / Eastlake Area). As this community Chula Vista grows the commutes to San Diego will get worst. Even with the Bus line extending, there is a habitual resistance to ride a bus. establish electric car infrastructure to promote the use of electrical or low emissions cars, like Chula Vista subsidizing charging stations at work places or strategic parking areas. The purple Line Trolley. Traffic going north bound on 805 is awful in the morning and awful going southbound in the afternoon. Most of the traffic is heading towards Kearny Mesa and Sorrento Valley. The trolley should have been built in the middle divider of the 805 from San Chula Vista Ysidro to Sorrento Valley. In the future East Chula Vista will need for Trolley system going north and south (125) in the middle of the freeway. Think like the BART system in San Francisco going towards Dublin. Chula Vista HUMAN RIGHTS INTERNSHIP PROGRAM to no to kill the beautiful lands that we have so we can have people come to our city and to keep it away from the people because were notorious of having big wild fire just to keep they Chula Vista highways clean from all the car crashes keep the water safe for all of us without things that could harm us

64 Place of Comments Residence please make sure the cyclist and pedestrian get funding for better bike lanes/trails/paths and Chula Vista clearly marked intersections for riders and walkers. Chula Vista bus pases gratis para jovenes Free bus passes for students, because they are expensive in various ways for each individual. This Chula Vista act could also help and benefit our environment. Soy estudiante de Chula Vista y me gustaria tener sombrita en las paradas y pases gratis para Chula Vista todos los estudiantes porque estan muy caros, porque seria menos contamincacion ambiental y mas seguridad. Smos estudiantes y necesitamos el transporte, pero no hay la manera de conseguir eso muchas veces. Chula Vista Eso nos proporcionaria mas seguridadd ante personas malas y climas feos. Mas camiones para todos los horarios y dias festivos. Mejorar las paradas de los camiones. A mi me gustaria que cambiaran las banquitas de las paradas de los bus porque estan muy heladas in the 6 am porque tal vez este muy frio,pero pongan unos sofas porque si hacen el mas el paro,por favor. Chula Vista Hola,soy estudiante de la MAAC,a mi me gustaria que dieran gratis porque se me hace muy complicado juntar para el dinero porque me pagan muy poco y proque deberia de ser gratis atte: el colima I’m a student in Chula Vista and think the post important is transit because a lot of people use it (including me) and sometime people don’t do what they want because they don’t have money for the transit Chula Vista fare. I will like that the transit fare will be free for young. This will help student get to their school faster. Also this could help stop more pollution. Pases gratis de transporte para jovenes estudiantes, ya que nuestras familias no consiguen tener Chula Vista el dinero para pagarlo, y tambien son importantes para nuestra seguridad como jovenes y para apoyar el medio ambiente reduciendo la contaminacion. soy estudiante en Chula Vista y me gustaria que hubiera pases de bus gratis por que mi familia no cuenta con mucho dinero y por que cuando salimos de la escuela y nos quedamos en clases Chula Vista extras me tengo que ir caminando por no tener pase y puede pasarme algo por la noche por el crimen que hay. We would like to make the pollution lower to the environment where animal live so they could Chula Vista live safer with us. porquer queremos bus pass para los jovenes, porque estan muy caros y algunos no tienen la Chula Vista posibilidad de comprarlos o se le es muy dificil I'm a student from Chula Vista, we as students would like you to invest more into free bus passes because; We cannot afford them, also I think it is very important for us to have a bus pass for our security, Some of us have to walk home or to school because we or our family cannot Chula Vista pay for our transportation, also some of us walk from school at night after some after school activities and is very unsafely for us. Also this will help to have a better clean environment. Thanks for your attention. Chula Vista I would like to see the completion of the South Bay BRT. I would love to see more bike trails and paths for kids and families going to schools, shopping, community centers and parks with more mountain bike trails leading through those parks, Chula Vista basically an easy access to fun trails for all abilities. Let's make San Diego a more bike friendly and inclusive city for all to ride, walk, scoot and skate without having to rely on cars all the time! All new building should be required to retain and reuse all water onsite not going into sewer system, including rain water. New construction should also be required to have gray water Chula Vista systems set up and used. Transit service has to be more frequent and to more places to be more used. Transit needs to be near places of employment and recreation.

65 Place of Comments Residence South Chula Vista & i-805 egress bottlenecks are inflicting added daily stress for working taxpayers. Toll Highway 125 adds more stress, cost & gridlock to the southern i-805 interchanges, + additional idling greenhouse emissions. H St., L St., & Orange/Olympic ramps are Chula Vista the worst, whether east or westbound. The New & very limited "commuters only access" @ Palomar St. & i-805 provides insufficient relief from daily stressful congestion for taxpayers, if it's ever finished. HELP!! Mike Clark Paint the bridge on Willow St between Sweetwater Road and Bonita Road Not sure if the bridge belongs to the City of Chula Vista or San Diego Co. Its appearance is embarrassing because of peeling paint. I've been told by a person with direct knowledge the reason it's not being Chula Vista painted is because environmental rules are too onerous. Think about that. Government creates these rules and in this case finds them too burdensome where citizens' quality of life is an issue. Scott Montgomery I would like to see the city and the county work with the biking community to create safer quality opportunities for cycling, including working on approving more legal single track multi- use natural surface trails for mountain biking. Projects such as getting the master plan update Chula Vista approved for Mission Trails Regional Park, creating a legal connection between Santee and Poway, to plan, build and maintain trails and approve projects that will connect all of our communities through open space. Chula Vista I would love to see more Mountain Bike trails. More places to go bike and enjoy nature.

Chula Vista It would be awesome to get more off-road mountain bike trails and safe bike paths. We all would like to see "legal" mountain bike trails. Most of the trails we ride are on public land. We have a right to use them and need them. We want these trails to get a Legal trails Chula Vista status. There is a trail from Mast Boulevard that goes north paralleling Santee lakes. It may or may not travel across Military land. That depends on which plat map you read. Anyway legal trails would be great! Chula Vista Repair old water pipes. Reorganize pension budget crisis! I would like to see continued projects to complete the Bayshore Bikeway vision. This project provides active transportation and a recreation opportunity linked to San Diego County's Chula Vista signature environment/landscape which is San Diego Bay. I also support creation of more single- track mountain biking trails as part of a multi-user trail system.

Chula Vista I would like to see the Embarcadero upgraded and more things to do. There are times when it is in the winter or simply chilly outside when the temperature outside and on a bus or Trolley, or the Coaster, more often on a bus, it can be 60 outside, and the same Chula Vista temperature on public transit. If air conditioning is used a bit less, it would save energy, and there would be fewer shivering passengers. Setting the ac a bit higher in public buildings would also save energy. Biking trails are getting closed and no new ones are being opened. I'd rather enjoy outdoors Chula Vista with my family than watching TV. Please open single-track trails for mountain bikers. Coronado Sue Mexico in International court to force them to stop polluting our beaches Experts assert San Diego has enough rainfall to supply our county's needs. I would love to see Coronado less runoff and more capture. I live in Coronado, Ca....we have a highway going through our town and it belongs to Caltrans and not our city. We have a huge disconnect between Caltrans and the fact that even though it Coronado is a highway, it runs through residential areas and there have been too many accidents and a death.... safety is a huge issue since there are 100,000 cars that travel that highway on a daily basis. I would LOVE to see something done to improve the safety of this corridor. Habitat restoration and conservation. The Port is engaging in development without enough consideration for restoring the beauty of the bay and oceans. SANDAG can counterbalance this Coronado by prioritizing habitat restoration and conservation. Focusing on San Diego's unique natural features will ultimately benefit the County more and be much more of a tourist draw than yet another hotel.

66 Place of Comments Residence Coronado The San Diego Trolley should be extended to the airport. I would like to see the County get involved with alternative energy, specifically solar. We have the perfect environment for solar. If there were some local incentives that might be a deciding Coronado factor for people considering it (e.g. some rebate in property taxes for a period of time). Also more water reclamation and generation (reverse osmosis). We cannot continue to build more housing without increasing our water supplies. I would like to see SANDAG implement something similar to The Mission Group's "Quickways" proposal (see http://www.missionconsult.com/ for more information). I feel that transit in San Coronado Diego has a lot to do to attract choice riders. I would be happy to ride it if times were even close to competitive with a personal vehicle. But for all but a few trunk routes, they're not. Coronado Community Gardens and school gardens Fix the intersection of 19th and Market. Evert time I drive over it in my Smart car I am reminded Coronado of conquering the Baja Peninsula in the late 60's Good to see SDMTS is finally on line as knowing when the bus is coming is most useful to users. Would be good to have more buses to and fro Coronado. Ferry should be included in the Coronado transport system for daily / monthly pass users. If using the ferry, one is not taking the bus which has already been paid for. Additionally, locals who are now pretty much forced to use the airport rental car facilities should not have to pay the additional daily airport fee charge. Reduce GHG & infrastructure costs: ZEV driverless cars which coordinate which each other: a rolling train along existing road & highways. Retain door-to-door convenience. Once on the roadways, cars would communicate with each other and safely allow much closer spacing, Del Mar allowing many more vehicles per mile of pavement. Disconnected, non-ZEV cars become very inconvenient: stuck in the slow lane while others zip by in the virtual train. Overlaps with other transit options. Our climate is ideal for walking and biking, but our roadways are not. We need routes that are Del Mar safe from auto traffic. Our freeways seem adequate except during commuter hours. Bus service should be coordinated with major employers' locations and schedules. Would like to see East/West transit available through the 56 area corridor. Currently there is Del Mar zero mass transit. We need far more mass transit (more routes, higher frequency) and NOT increased widening of Del Mar highways. This is the best way to reduce greenhouse gas and preserve our environment. Make mass transit a desirable and workable option as it is in so many other cities. Del Mar More public transportation in North County Install a multi-use path along the trolley right-of-way from Old Town/San Diego Avenue south to Broadway. Eliminate the southbound bike lane at the Barnett Street underpass along the Pacific Coast Del Mar Highway. Design a safer way for southbound cyclist using PCH to get around Barnett Street. Eliminate the free right hand turn into Ocean Beach at the SeaWorld Drive/Nimitz Boulevard intersection. Public electric car chargers. Coaster to stop at SD County fairgrounds. Expand SD convention Del Mar center. Expand Balboa Park east of Park AV. Restore train tracks going east. Bring more cruise ships to SD. New expanded airports First priority is to keep the transport infrastructure capable of keeping pace with population growth. Second priority is to keep San Diego a great place to live. The two go together. I have Del Mar the most visibility to north county and the need for good rail/ bus service plus moving ahead with the interstate 5 project is top priority. The biggest disappointment is the slow pace of the design, decision and construction on north county 5 as managed by SANDAG. More buses, fixed rail. Need coaster-rail connection at Del Mar Fairgrounds with bus transit connections. Del Mar Need projects for homeless including shelter and washing toile facilities. Need more tax $ on preventative maintenance of current roads, bridges, water, sewer, storm water systems.

67 Place of Comments Residence A large city like San Diego needs countywide access to light rail...not just where the trolley is Del Mar now, but include north county, along freeways 5, 15, 52, 56, 78. All county residents should have access to a rail system. What I do NOT want to see is continued expansion of the 5 north of the 56 with additional fly- Del Mar overs. Instead, we need improved public transit, a carpool lane on 5 south of the 805 merge, and improved quality of surface streets throughout the city of San Diego. Specific project: replace the Coaster with a light rail system and move the tracks out of areas that flood or will crash off an eroded cliff. Make the light rail corridor over I-5, as has been Del Mar done, e.g., with BART to OAK, and have feeder bus lines. Emphasize light rail and stop making more freeway lanes that create new traffic problems. Del Mar beach sand replenishment; San Dieguito river park completion and maintenance Dedicate one lane of the 24 lanes of concrete comprising the 5/805 merge to light rail system. WTF is taking so long to make this happen. Get out of the concrete business and into light rail. Del Mar Beach replenishment and commuter parking lots are also needed (double decker needed in Solana Beach train station for example) There is a dire need for better mass transit in all of San Diego and especially north county. Del Mar Better mass transit will help relieve the congestion on the freeways. I am very concerned that the more lanes the more people. I would hate for our lovely I5 which follows the coast to become a slow moving pollution machine. We need to move people Del Mar without cars with single riders. What would incentivize people to abandon their cars for ride share or public transportation? I honestly don’t know. Del Mar Replace the Coaster with a light rail system that runs over the Interstate 5 freeway. Del Mar Improve regional highway network adding lanes available to all vehicles, NOT HOV LANES I'd like to see a mono rail system for north county. It would only take one or two lanes. Much more efficient all around than adding lanes for cars as we have more younger and older people Del Mar I feel this would work as well as cut fuel emissions. Thank you ...... PS. not in favor of a tunnel as I don't want polluted emissions spewing up the air vents in the tunnels More and better bike lanes, preferably with good separation from traffic, both in San Diego City Del Mar and throughout the county. We have got to get more people to use public transportation, which has to be more accessible and convenient to use. The old Del Mar station needs to be re-opened again for rail travel, this Del Mar would reduce the traffic going and coming to Sorrento Valley and Solana Beach. Maybe more bus pickups for people in the local areas and then dropping them at the stations. Del Mar More single-track trails for hiking and mountain biking! Ban equestrians from public trails! I'd like to see more trails instead of housing development. Specifically trails that allow bicycles and hiking, not solely equestrian. IMBA (International mountain biking association) has been Del Mar working with the National Parks, together they recognize mountain bicycling as a positive activity, compatible with the values of our National Park system. Connecting the airport to public transportation (what is wrong with us!). Keep San Diego canyons and open spaces undeveloped while improving on current infrastructure (not just more Del Mar pavement). Improve bike and pedestrian access (no "dead ends" that prioritize car traffic and squeeze out walker and bikers) Better care for the critters -- both domestic and wild -- habitat preservation, better shelter El Cajon operations, and heavier punishment for those who damage either or animals in general. Keep more storm water on land for irrigation and for fighting fires. Preservation of land with El Cajon native plants and animals. Highways and City Projects: The badly needed project to improve the SR67 and East Bradley Ave interchange and to widen East Bradley Ave to four or more lanes east to North Mollison Ave has El Cajon been on hold since 2008. When will it started and completed? Water Quality: Need programs to encourage and give incentives for residential and commercial rainwater harvesting as well as landscaping that increases property watershed.

68 Place of Comments Residence Please widen the 52 Corridor between Mast Boulevard and 125 . The constant squeezing down El Cajon of three lanes to two lanes is causing the most congestion and that area El Cajon Widen 52 between 125 and Mast and build a flyover ramp from 67 South to 8 East. Commute times increase as the economy rebounds. Anyone sitting in traffic on a weekday can't help but notice that most cars have single occupants. Car and van pools only go so far because they lack flexibility, especially for small and medium-size companies. In the long term we need El Cajon to place business and housing together, as it was for most of our history. This may mean attracting companies to residential areas, building housing near company locations, or another solution. El Cajon Better Rail Transit El Cajon Widen the 52 freeway. El Cajon Canal linking Mission Bay and San Diego Bay and more designated bike paths. Better public transportation is critical! It's ridiculous that we've allowed so much overgrowth in the Sorrento Valley area with so little improvement in transportation. It shouldn't take 60 - 90 El Cajon minutes to go 22 miles from El Cajon to Sorrento Valley (e.g., Qualcomm bldg Q). We need a trolley extension from Qualcomm stadium up to Sorrento Valley and better busses in the area. Even better, a trolley from Santee to Sorrento Valley. And better parking at Trolley stations. Clean out the storm channels with the BS of getting 5 permits. You’re the city they are storm El Cajon channels why do you permits to keep them clean? Do you need permits to clean the streets? The SR52 project was never completed. I've been in contact with SANDAG since 2003, as well as Supervisor Jacob. Once the extension to 67 was completed, all this did was create a huge El Cajon bottleneck at Mast Boulevard. No widening of bridges ever occurred. All the tax revenue collected appears to be spent along the coast. MTS Bus service in the East County is pretty bad. Busses are rarely on time. (Main St/Greenfield Drive EC) Also service could be more often. Why do we not have electronic message boards indicating in El Cajon how many minutes the next is due?? They have these all over in Europe. A great help and incentive for drivers to be on time. They have the at the trolley station EC but they rarely work!!!???? El Cajon Sidewalks in the Fletcher Hills area. El Cajon Expand I-8 East to three lanes from Greenfield Drive to just East of Dunbar Ln El Cajon get rid of potholes and repave roads El Cajon Provide downtown trolley access to the airport. I would like to see better and improved roads with fewer pot holes, bumps, and discontinuities. Smoother roadways with a higher standard of roadway patchwork. Also, I would like to El Cajon encouraged the continued creation of bicycle lanes throughout the county that would enable improved bicycle safety and could encourage more people to ride. Having only 500 characters isn't enough to describe my commute issues with the 52 - you need El Cajon to fix this - this is ridiculous! I would like to see an improved transit system that serves all residents 24/7 not just for those whose hours of need are the old outdated 9-5. San Diego is becoming a 24 hour a day city and El Cajon needs transit services that can move people across town in an hour. I live in East County and work downtown. Current transit services add four hours to my work day routine and do not serve my hours of need. El Cajon Increased and efficient public transportation throughout the county New Bradley Ave Bridge over the 67. Widening of Bradley Ave to 1st St. Revamp the 67/8 connectors El Cajon Widen the 52 in west Santee...eliminate the loss of lanes Extend the 125 north thru to Poway

69 Place of Comments Residence Roll out a Compass card the carries forward balances . The Oyster card in London and the Oyster card in Hong Kong both carry the value on the card into subsequent months. Compass values El Cajon expire at the end of a month. Nothing more frustrating that seeing the trolley leave the station as you try and reload. Easier to always have value on the card and not worry about losing money. SR 52 in east county needs to be fixed. Since connecting with SR67, the backups have become El Cajon standard as the most congested road in San Diego. El Cajon A new NFL quality sports and concert stadium. I would like to see that Gillespie Field be expanded responsibly, with the curtailment of student El Cajon flight training over densely populated neighborhoods on high terrain. I would like to see the severe bottleneck areas of the highways addressed such as 125/52 El Cajon transition and 94/125/8 transition. El Cajon Hwy 67 S @ I - 8 E El Cajon Safe routes/ walkways to school and work. access to public transportation More investment in needed in the corridors to East County. Traffic on the East & West 8 is El Cajon horrible. Why does it take so long to complete freeway construction? Would like to see more improvements done on Highways 8, 125,and 52 in the East County. El Cajon Would also like to see overhead utilities converted to underground utilities in fletcher hills and parts of El Cajon Please expand the 52 as it is consistently one of the most congested highways in the County! El Cajon There is more than enough room in both directions to add at least one lane. I would like to see more investment in the corridors of East County. We have not received our fair share El Cajon of the countywide half cent sales tax given to SANDAG in over 3 years. Thank you! Finish the widening of State Route 125 between State Route 94 and Lemon Ave. This area backs up every day in both directions during the morning commute and evening commute. It goes El Cajon from 6-7 lanes down to three lanes in the south bound lanes and from 5-6 lanes to three lanes in the north bound lanes. The other two lanes need to be constructed between State Route 94 to Lemon Ave. El Cajon The historic streetcar project sounds interesting. I'd like to be able to ride it to Balboa Park. Extend the silver line into Balboa Park, using the historic streetcars that MTS currently owns. El Cajon Built a light rail line to the airport terminal at Lindberg Field. Convert the rapid bus service on El Cajon Boulevard to SDSU to light rail or streetcars El Cajon Please get some hackers to work on better connectivity b/t trolley and the bus system. There are numerous freeway on ramps that do not exist or are poorly designed. There are too many accidents on the 8/5 junction; lack of on-ramps 8/5 and 94 to 5 south. I am sure there are others north county, as I have heard. Synchronized traffic lights; no reason not to have a more El Cajon efficient system saving time and money. Yellow blinking left turn lights. Many states have them; I don't understand why we don't. Transportation to the airport!!! Amazing that we do not have this. Implementing wildfire reduction programs would be most beneficial. Many mountainous regions in San Diego suffer greatly from wildfires each year and simple precautions could El Cajon prevent a lot of damage. In addition, water management projects should be implemented. California is consistently in a drought and this could easily be solved through an increase in water storage and salt water filtration systems. Improvement at bottleneck sites on Highways. We are an area of car users with busy schedules to soccer practice, or yoga after work; so transit services won't suffice for our everyday lives. El Cajon Relief of current highways like the 78 or 67 into the 52 are important to quality of life. Expansion of bike paths and walking paths, especially along the San Diego River would complement the ability to bike to work or enjoy our San Diego area.

70 Place of Comments Residence You need special buses that can get disabled services for walkers etc. that can go door to door for doctors etc. with it costing a fortune. Reliable service. Buses don't seem to go where we El Cajon need to go without it taking hours or many buses and trolleys. If not that you need to work bus schedules so they actually let you connect with others and not have them only have a 5 minutes or less connect time. Buses are not on time usually. I have a walker and am slow. Restructure the transition from SR 125 South to SR 94 East. Widening or restructuring of the El Cajon southbound lanes of SR 125 from Fletcher Parkway to Spring Street. It is crucial community input to shape the investment priorities SANDAG is considering for the ballot measure to increase our local sales tax. SANDAG's investments will only move our region El Cajon if it prioritizes clean air, better transit, and good jobs. NO project does that better than the Youth Opportunity Pass (YOP) Program, which would provide no-cost transit passes to all students in our region. Please invest our tax dollars wisely and invest in YOPs! Re: 125 south from 8, why is the extra space, potential lane, not utilized? Traffic backs up on 125 and sometimes from 8 south; if the lane were added it would ease the flow of traffic. Not too El Cajon long ago I saw a car drive on the non-lane. I have already submitted and will vote twice, just a FYI. It was a good town hall last night.

What I'd like to see is cheaper bus passes for youth or buses/trolleys only for youth and more El Cajon gardens and trees.

I am a daily Trolley commuter. I have basic transit ideas to bring the San Diego system to minimum functional standards I regularly find in Asia. 1. Express - limited stop trains to cut commute time from El Cajon that will be faster than El Cajon automobile during rush hour. 2. Dedicate more land to terminal train stations so there is no passenger filled trains switching tracks at El Cajon, Arnele, America Plaza, Santa Fe. Do not waste passenger time with dangerous and lengthy track crossing. Would like open space parks developed in "old neighborhoods". Ours was developed in the El Cajon 1950's and there is no open space that families with kids/dogs can walk to, we have to drive. We need to improve our older neighborhoods. It is critical for community input to shape the investment priorities SANDAG considers for the ballot measure to increase our local sales tax. SANDAG's investments will only move our region El Cajon if it prioritizes clean air, better Transit, and Good Jobs. No project does that better than the Youth Opportunity Pass program, which would provide no-cost transit passes to all students in our region. Please invest our tax dollars wisely and invest in YOPs! Expanded trolley lines, A better fate system... Improvements to the compass card. More hours/ El Cajon better schedules for transit. I would like to see Trolley lines operate until 3 AM on Friday and Saturday nights, giving an El Cajon alternative to taxis or ride share apps. A direct connector between southbound SR-125 and eastbound SR-94 is needed. Also, one or two additional lanes are needed on both directions on SR-125 between SR-94 and Lemon Drive. El Cajon Significant congestion takes place in this area in both morning and evening. Also, finishing the Mid-Coast Trolley line, and completing key new Trolley lines is important. A grade separation between the Orange Line and Euclid Avenue would be a good improvement. When conducting repairs, resurfacing, or filling pot holes on any and all streets in the county, the repairs MUST also include that area to the right of the white line. Stopping repairs and resurfacing at that while line places us cyclists in extreme danger because of the new asphalt burn El Cajon or edge can dramatically impact the one square inch of tire that is in contact with the road surface. Many times the repairs create such a biking hazard that we are then forced to ride in the traffic lanes. Equestrian is not listed, San Diego has always been equestrian friendly, let's not become a sterile El Cajon big city El Cajon Please preserve trails for equestrians.

71 Place of Comments Residence El Cajon more walking friendly I would like to see improved safe bike lanes that are separated from car lanes. It would also be El Cajon nice to have more seats to wait for buses at the El Cajon transit center. Access to bike lockers that can be accessed on an hourly basis and possibly reservable via the El Cajon Internet. At shopping centers and transportation centers. I bike allot and nobody I know would leave there bike for more than 5 minutes even with a lock to shop, eat a meal etc. El Cajon More single-track trails! Please stop building the stupid HOV lanes and build more lanes for the common everyday commuter to get to & from work. Mass transit and car pools do not go from where most people El Cajon live to where we work and to even get close it takes twice as much time. Open up the choke points such as the 52 where 5 lanes funnel in to two lanes west bound and 3 lanes into 2 east bound near Mast and 125. El Cajon More mountain biking! And dirt biking would be great. Encinitas More active transportation projects that make travel safer for people walking and on bikes.

Encinitas More ways to bike SAFELY! As a planner, I would like to see continued expansion of the SD trolley service. These lines would be built in high frequented areas giving people more incentive to take Mass Transit. Also Encinitas Freeway expansion should also remain a priority and be sped up so that we do not get LA gridlock in SD. This would include speeding up work on the I-5 expansion as well as other needed highways like SR-56 and other highly congested areas. The number one priority in San Diego is the widening of Highway 5 from Oceanside to the 805/5 Encinitas merge. This portion of freeway expansion which has been delayed from being built for over twenty five years is the single most important public improvement to the region. Encinitas We need to complete the rail-trail. More frequent Coaster service and extended hours so it serves travelers who aren't commuting Encinitas during peak business hours. Transit, transit, transit (and not the BRT kind). We want more rail. More double tracking of Encinitas coaster, more light rail. More bike lanes and dedicated bikeways. More water recycling. Filling potholes, timing successive traffic lights and getting rid of stoplights on freeway on- Encinitas ramps would do wonders for very little cost. Clear out Sorrento Valley channel to reduce flooding of the tracks, Coaster station, and access roads to it. Fast track bicycle and ped path from Sorrento Valley Coaster station to UCSD. Encinitas Consult w/ Licensed Cycling Instructors and San Diego County Bicycle Coalition before building or modifying bicycle facilities. Talk to people who know and practice lawful vehicular bicycling. Finish the major freeway repairs. It seems like glaciers move faster than Cal/trans. Make it a Encinitas priority to minimize the impact that ongoing work has on existing traffic. Don't cater to the loudest opinions but honestly try to fill the desires of the people paying the bill. Encinitas Restoration of sea life in a clean ocean Widening of I-5. Full use (100%) of our gasoline taxes being used for ROAD improvements not Encinitas unrelated projects such as "habitat conservation" and "water quality" San Diego has no groundwater. This should make water-related issues top priorities. Issues that impact water quality and distribution, such as acceding to immoderate building schemes and Encinitas the concomitant need for highway construction, should be relegated to a lower level of consideration simply because there IS no "moving forward" if a reasonable measure of human existence for inhabitants is not maintained. I'd love to see projects that allow for a faster commute from north county coastal areas to Encinitas downtown. This would include providing more trains to downtown and finding ways to cut down the train time so it's more comparable to the driving commute.

72 Place of Comments Residence Improve train track crossings for bikes and peds (more of them!) Let individual cities Encinitas decide/design infrastructure improvements so we do not have another design disaster such as the "Cardiff Rail Trail". Our region needs more bicycle paths. We love to ride, but don't want to die competing with Encinitas vehicles on the same road. More 2-lane bike paths are badly needed. support for the Encinitas N. Coast Hwy. 101 corridor improvement program, aka the Leucadia Encinitas streetscape will do a lot to make North County more livable and more friendly as well as serve as an example to other cities on how to manage growth, health and the economy all at once My priorities are: - Highway, rural road & city street repairs - potholes, decaying asphalt, etc. Encinitas - Beach sand replenishment, bluff repair and/or installation of stairs, especially at Beacon's Beach, Encinitas - Improve cleanliness of public transportation It's always important to manage the storm water & runoff in our rainy season. Our beaches are our most important asset! That is what runs our economy & gives everyone the most pleasure. Residents & tourists! P.S. STOP building. We don't have the streets, water & power to Encinitas accommodate it all. Heaven forbid that a greedy developer should be told that they can't fill every postage size lot with condos, apartments or a McMansion. They're ruining our quality of life!!! San Diego county is already over built and over populated. Congestion is outrageous and more building of homes and shopping malls continues to making driving on surface streets extremely Encinitas painful. Enough with the expansion and growth, we have enough places to shop! Leave what little natural spaces we have. In my opinion, it's a lot about greed and desiring more tax dollars. Thank you. Tim The major drainage of highway fuel taxes and sales taxes to bikeways that are at best only for a Encinitas very few and for expensive trains that carry very few is a politicized waste of money and a rip off of auto drivers. Encinitas More freeway lanes, especially in heavily used areas of the freeways. Encinitas Add transit service/shuttle from Old Town Transit Center to the San Diego International Airport. Safe crossings over/under train tracks, especially to/from Paul Ecke Central Elementary School, Encinitas. This location is both a school, and a site for a large weekly farmers market. In terms of the school, just look at the boundary map Encinitas http://ww2.eusd.net/Pages/PEC_Boundary.aspx. Thank you, Lisa Encinitas More safe walking and biking access to schools for our children. More off trail bikeways. More safe walking areas. More north county rapid transit to city center. Encinitas More traffic controls in residential streets (we have too many speeding issues on a small side street used as a throughway) I feel the current alternate transportation options are disjointed and fragmented at best. A cohesive plan is necessary. I am an avid cyclist and would love to commute more regularly on the bike but it is not safe. I travel often to places foreign and domestic and experience a much more Encinitas rider friendly environment. Many of these cities don't enjoy our mild climate however the number of cyclists commuting each day are far greater than what I see in San Diego. What a shame For active transportation, we would like to see more biking and pedestrian paths that are completely separate from vehicular traffic (simply adding "Sharrows" is not the answer). Growth Encinitas needs to be managed intelligently, with the realization that the San Diego region has reached its carrying capacity. Finally, please conserve more open space! Encinitas Underground the train through Cardiff with park and common area on top.

73 Place of Comments Residence I felt I needed 4 choices, as development of a Transit system is necessary as well, but one that is convenient, light, fast and scheduled in a useful manner. Light rail systems like they have at Encinitas some airports, etc. are quick and efficient. The more crowded we get, the more we need to rely upon something other than our freeways. Ideally, we'd be able to tackle all 6 projects here. Ensuring our residents have clean and safe air and water, access to frequent and reliable public transit to reduce co2 emissions, maintain Encinitas quality of life, along with opportunities to experience clean beaches, parks and outdoors is key. All project categories need to be considered and integrated as a whole. Sidewalks!! Many people walk in North County & there is a huge lack of sidewalks many places. This benefits everyone , elderly, dog walkers, young people, kids, strollers, wheelchairs. Many people still drive too fast through neighborhoods and its very unfortunate to feel unsafe when Encinitas u are going on a walk. Power lines!! They are dangerous & they make the neighborhoods look horrible. Its outdated & dangerous to have the power lines hanging over people homes, they need to be covered in the ground. Designated bike path, separate from traffic, along PC Hwy and rail easement from Oceanside to Encinitas San Diego. I live in Cardiff, and walking means being in the street most of the time. There are few Encinitas sidewalks or walking paths. There also should be a designated bike trail running along the railroad tracks, as bicyclists, runners, and walkers all vie for the little area there is. I want to have 1) small frequent buses going on sensible routes that also go late in the evening, 2) big sidewalks, buffered bike lanes, with trees and wildlife-friendly vegetation, 3) permeable Encinitas surfaces on roads, 4) managed retreat from development on the coast and around waterways to allow natural processes, 5) contiguous habitat, wildlife corridors and wildlife crossings on all streets, 6) more undeveloped open space, 7) NO MORE FREEWAY! We need a viable light rail alternative that runs along the coast - preferably down the middle of the freeway. This should run all the way from San Diego to San Francisco. Also the coaster Encinitas between north county and downtown San Diego should extend its hours so it is useful for returning home late evenings on the weekends. For mass transit to really work, high density nodes are required. NIMBYs will prevent high density, thus mass transit is an extremely inefficient use of resources. Imposing even more Encinitas onerous runoff standards will make new housing even more expensive ... The standard should be "good enough" ..... "perfect" is: way too expensive, and will continue to drive housing prices into the stratosphere. Trenching of the train tracks in Encinitas, especially at the unsafe, noisy and dirty at grade Chesterfield crossing. There have been too many near misses between cars and between cars Encinitas and pedestrians at this crossing and it is only a matter of time before someone is badly hurt or killed at this crossing and congested intersection, especially with the plan to add another set of train tracks in Encinitas. We have had votes to approve bonds for transportation, but I've noticed little other than highways that have been built. There needs to be more light rail lines and connections around the county, particularly for those who don't drive or those who wouldn't drive and lighten up Encinitas highway traffic, if there were better public transportation to work. I believe there need to be more done to capture rainfall runoff when it comes and to provide more incentives to convert to drought-tolerant landscapes. - We hope widening of I-5 will include adequate sound-deflection/absorption walls. - While there is now dedicated ped. & separate bike lanes on La Costa Ave. west of I-5, we're worried about excessive/fast traffic. Encinitas - LC Ave. is designated truck route to the 101. With the extremely unlikely widening of this part of LC Ave. beyond current one lane each way, we wonder if consideration can be given to designating Poinsettia Ave. (w/ 2 lanes each way) as primary truck route instead of LC Ave. No real system connecting Coaster and Metrolink. Coaster takes too long to get downtown. Encinitas Some system to increase speeds such as fencing (esp. on the inland loop) to increase speeds would help. No link to the airport. Great opportunity for an integrated system not taken

74 Place of Comments Residence advantage of.

More sand on beaches Encinitas Better Coaster service---no lapse in mid-day service, and earlier trains in morning. Separate pedestrians and bikes along west side of 101 1.Undergrading the railroad tracks in coastal towns 2. Change metered on-ramps so drivers don't have to stop close to the freeway entrance and then accelerate rapidly Encinitas 3. NO MORE FREEWAY WIDENING 4. Subsidize public transit heavily and turn San Diego into a model area for mass transit. Right now my grown kids are refusing to live where they grew up because of the terrible state of local public transit - and I really understand why they feel that way. - Establish a network of photovoltaic powered Electric Vehicle recharging stations throughout the county. - De-emphasize highway/freeway expansion while making public transit more convenient, fast, Encinitas and cheap. - Mount a public awareness campaign that links reduced auto use to reduced CO2 and a better environment for everyone. Encinitas Expand the San Diego Trolley into North County and eliminate the Coaster and Sprinter. Love the Coaster. Would like to see the trolley extended to Campus Point and more frequent Encinitas commuter train service up the coast. Also, why is there no train along the 15 corridor?! We need more sidewalks, bike lanes and bus service because: - We all need the exercise and fresh air! - Our aging boomers are losing their ability to drive cars Encinitas - We need to cut down our carbon footprint - We need to lose our dependence on foreign oil - We need a progressive transportation infrastructure to attract top talent for employers - We need to create more opportunities for neighbors to connect and create community Habitat land acquisition is very important because there is so little of it left and what is Encinitas remaining should be linked to sustain wildlife for the long term. Hello my name is Maurice Keehan I live at 452 Alviso Way, Encinitas, California 92024. I have lived next to I-5 in Encinitas and have been waiting 40 years for some relief from the traffic noise! Please take notice the sooner the I-5 is expanded and the 16 foot sound wall is up the Encinitas SOONER the better! Also the trees in back of the house on I-5 property can be removed also as they are a fire hazard. Please stop the delay on the I-5 expansion and get it started! respectfully submitted Maurice [email protected] Dropping the rail road through Encinitas below grade. This would be done from La Costa Avenue to Encinitas Boulevard, and from just south of the Swami's underpass to the end of Encinitas Cardiff. This would free up the RR right of way, which is owned by the public, for walking and bike trails and other amenities. Restoration of the Buena Vista Lagoon and the adjacent 3.5-acre parcel of land newly-acquired Encinitas by Buena Vista Audubon Society to a coastal saltwater estuary and marsh. It is crucial community input to shape the investment priorities SANDAG is considering for the ballot measure to increase our local sales tax. SANDAG's investments will only move our region Encinitas if it prioritizes clean air, better transit, and good jobs. NO project does that better than the Youth Opportunity Pass (YOP) Program, which would provide no-cost transit passes to all students in our region. Please invest our tax dollars wisely and invest in YOPs! Adding bike lanes and bike trails consistent with the plans I have seen for Encinitas and the county. This will improve the quality of life in San Diego and safety for the active participants. Encinitas Mass transit alternatives must also be embraced as adding more highways is just a stop gap measure that will not work long term.

75 Place of Comments Residence I'd like to see less trash in the waterways and along the freeways (that eventually ends up in the waterways.) Trash seems to be the easiest thing to contain from the waterways and ocean. Encinitas Public education combined with physical measures should help remove much of the trash. Start at the source...public education. Encinitas We need to switch the focus from more highways and lanes to more transit and bike/walk ways. I would like to see completion of the Coastal Rail Trail from Oceanside to San Diego, so anyone can safely walk or cycle from Oceanside to San Diego or anywhere in between. I would like to Encinitas see inclusion of Class I bike paths all over our county, making it safe for cyclists and easier for automobile drivers (since the cyclists will move off the streets). Much more public transportation + bike trails, pedestrian friendly streets. Leave the oleander on Encinitas the freeways alone or replant. Noise reduction through the Encinitas corridor for the 5. More focus on sidewalks as children and retirees are walking more and more and need access. Encinitas Also, sidewalks, bike lanes, and more public transport reduce our dependence of fossil fuels. SANDAG can become a leader in promoting clean air.. I have emphysema and clean air matters. Encinitas Below grade train tracks thru Encinitas. 1. remove fluoride from sources that supply water for homes and businesses 2. stop crop spraying Encinitas Reason: Research shows these are crucial health issues for residents and the environment. Let San Diego be the country's leader in this. We all move forward! I support the rail trail project in Encinitas on San Elijo Ave. It is important to have the Encinitas opportunity to walk or bike safely in your own neighborhood. Currently it is difficult walking and not comfortable for all ages. Burn carbs, not carbon! Thanks for gathering this important information. At the moment, Encinitas, my city, is planning a rail trail. I strongly support both the rail trail as envisioned and the at grade RR crossings. This Encinitas will go a long way to give our city alternative means for transportation and recreation without more car traffic. Thanks much, Dadla Ponizil, Encinitas. coaster station at del mar fairgrounds for fair and races and other events. Another coaster Encinitas station for UTC Please don't let naysayers prevent the rail trail in Cardiff in San Elijo from being built. We're Encinitas counting on you to stand up to people who's the like bullies. Traffic lights should be coordinated to keep the majority of traffic flowing smoothly. During periods of very low traffic (e.g., after midnight) traffic lights should change to be flashing red Encinitas (stop) and flashing yellow (proceed with caution). This was routinely done in the 50s & 60s and avoids sitting at a stoplight on a deserted street which can lead to car jackings, etc. besides being frustrating to drivers. We need to establish an entity that can manage and monitor our habitat lands in an efficient Encinitas manner that is informed by science and not politics. I support active transportation, such as interconnected walkways, walk to school routes, interconnected bike routes, including bike routes, bike lanes, sharrow lanes, and dedicated bike Encinitas paths, as well as developing freeways with continuous diamond lanes to accommodate buses, small vans, and 3+ passenger vehicles. I would like to see mass transit much more accessible, and easier to use. More emphasis on bike and walking paths to encourage people to get out of their private cars. For nine years I rode my Encinitas bike to my job at UCSD, and always felt at risk of being hit by a car. Bike lanes should have been wider and more defined. Encinitas Extend Coaster/Amtrak to PETCO Park itself Public transit & active transportation top, by far, everything else for me. In fact, in my view everything else: water quality, conservation, city projects, and highways are all tied to and Encinitas depend on the implementation of an effective public transportation system and walk-friendly communities; both reduce our individual reliance on cars and help preserve nature, promote health, and strengthen our sense of community.

76 Place of Comments Residence The region needs to prioritize SAFE bicycle transportation. I moved to mountain trail riding, Encinitas because I no longer feel safe ride a bike on the road. Think of Portland OR as a model for safe active transportation. I want less freeway lanes, not more. Kind of like my closet space--- the more I have, the more stuff I accumulate to fill it. Why aren't we doing more to incentivize carpooling and mass Encinitas transit? The work being done on I-5 lately is hideous and what we get is more pollution and more cars! Not smart! Schools and businesses should be required to move people in groups. Rail Trail along PCH. Looking forward to seeing the whole route connected. Support for lite rail Encinitas and NON automobile transportation support. Improved bike lanes, not just sharrows, on Hwy 1 heading south from Leucadia to Cardiff. Improved bike lanes at dangerous intersections. One is Carmel Valley Road from El Camino as Encinitas you approach the I5 on ramp northbound. Another is in OB as cars on Sunset cliffs are going R to get on the 8. Coordinating trains with buses arrival and departure times. Getting more people to walk or bike with their kids to schools. Trench the tracks through the North Coast rail corridor when they're doubled. The benefits Encinitas would be enormous and forever. To double at grade would be damaging and extremely shortsighted. Lowering the railway tracks through Encinitas should have priority. Rail trail with fencing only makes everything worse. Quiet zone is urgent in the short term. Train traffic will double. And Encinitas no Quality of Life tax. Taxpayers should not have to pay to undo the environmental damage SANDAG has caused in San Diego County. Encinitas More single track hiking / biking nature trails Lower and cover the train tracks throughout Encinitas and join Carlsbad in their efforts to do the same. We need this much more than two more lanes on the 5. The division the current Encinitas situation creates is untenable and will only get worse as the tracks are doubled and rail traffic increases. Lowering the tracks should be a primary concern. I want to be able to drive to a Padre game in less than an hour. On week nights it can take up to an hour and a half to get to the games . The traffic from Genesee to Mission bay is horrible. Encinitas The train is not an option because it leaves so late after the game. I don't want to get home at midnight during the week. I rarely go to San Diego because the traffic down I 5 is so bad on the weekend. Traffic is our biggest concern. I live in Escondido and I would LOVE to be able to take a reasonably priced train into San Diego and have it run late and often. If Boston, New York and San Francisco can do it why can't we? Escondido We need to stop taking wildlife habitat for more and more ugly housing developments. We need to work on greywater harvesting and getting rid of water wasting lawns through education and incentives. Free electric trolleys in all cities that also service schools so kids can ride clean transit to school Escondido instead of arrive in individual cars. HOV lanes added to 78 corridor; improving county roads, including lighting in San Pasqual Escondido Valley. Escondido synchronize traffic lights Coastal & inland rail North/South & East/West. Use existing highway right of way in all directions. Superior ground transportation at reasonable cost to the rider will take a large Escondido number of cars off the roads, if the systems are reliable. System could serve the entire population in all age ranges and physical abilities. I had plenty to say and many good common sense suggestions, but since your Webb master Escondido restricted input to 500 characters I could not put them in without changing context. If your data system is that small you really need to upgrade! Escondido Fix the roads!

77 Place of Comments Residence Complete north and southbound HOV lanes on I-15 from Clairemont Mesa Boulevard exit on the north to I-8 /I-15 interchange on the south Escondido Construct north and southbound HOV lanes on I-15 from SD County line on the north to 9th St (Escondido) exit on south I would like to "trash education" implemented...maybe through PSA's. It drives me crazy the amount of litter I see and I think people just don't think about it or that a lot of it will end up in Escondido the ocean and the harm it causes. I remember the PSA's of the 70's of the sad Indian sitting on a horse crying because of the way he had trashed his land. It was very powerful. We need to education people of the proper way to dispose of their trash. Escondido Rebuild water infer structure, including delivery pipes, recycled water, creeks, rivers, and sewers. Repair the roadway potholes. Reduce wildfire risk. Invest in more water storage and reclamation Escondido countywide. The region needs better and coordinated routes(scheduling) of public transportation. This is especially true in the county areas of the region. People without cars must dedicate have a day Escondido (several hours) to travel to San Diego. Of course, water will always be an issue in the county. However, I am extremely tired of hearing about problems with unmaintained sewer and water issues in San Diego. Escondido adding carpool lanes on north 15 past el Norte Road in Escondido but not if it will raise sales tax I would like to see an expansion of light rail in the North County area. Maybe a larger expansion Escondido of the Sprinter to the mall and or to other various parts of Escondido. The Escondido drainage ditch should be converted to a green walkway/ bikeway/park that runs through the middle of town. There needs to be a block of town made like the old Vineyard Escondido Plaza (fountains, awnings, quiet/isolated from traffic, coffee shops, etc.). The Palomar satellite campus area should be improved to make it a "college district". Overall, general quality of life improvements, city beautification projects, better arts/entertainments/activities in Escondido. Government putting money already received thru taxes to good use has a VERY bad track Escondido record in improving local infrastructure. This past performance do not motivate me to want to "pour more on the fire"! Escondido Habitat Conservation, but with public use and access to public lands! Please get rid of the Governor's ridiculous plan to build a high speed railway. It is a total waste Escondido of money--we need the things I checked above and not a high speed railway. I would like to see protected bike and pedestrian paths that would connect us to the major shopping areas in our city, to the parks, lakes and hiking areas and beaches. It would be great if Escondido there was a direct route to downtown San Diego. I would also like to see the train and trolley service expanded to connect us to San Diego and the other cities along the Interstate 15. Bypass lanes to eliminate the crossing traffic at I-15, 78 and Valley Parkway. either NB 15 past 78 Escondido and Valley Parkway or NB I-15 to WB 78. Escondido I don’t think now is the time to be increasing taxes!!! Resurface the roads. There are too many pot holes. The issue of infrastructure re-development is Escondido a national disgrace. Highways, railroads, airports, bridges all need to be addressed locally, statewide, and nationally. Continuing improvement in highways/roadways. Additional HOV lanes and maintenance. Escondido Additional water storage for the inevitable droughts of the future. While all the above especially mass transit are wonderful areas that needs to be considered in any planning our highway system is the life blood of Southern California. We have chosen not Escondido to live in Hi-Rise apartment style housing, therefore the density needed to have mass transit a major factor isn't nor will it be in our lifetime. The I5 sorely needs what the I15 has gotten. Without the I15 overhaul North County could never enjoy life. Smaller, quicker bus routes and buses but also long distance bus routes such as from N. County Escondido towards Downtown San Diego.

78 Place of Comments Residence 1.Expand Hwy56 to 3 lanes on each side. Way too congested during peak traffic times, especially AM commute from I-15 to 5. Crawls the entire way. No excuse there. Very needed, especially w Escondido all the new housing going in. 2.Whose idea was it for a lane disappear from I-15 north bound at RB Road? Very congested during PM commute. 3.Need sidewalks on Beethoven Drive in Esco @ NCounty Mall. Busy road, shopping plaza, why no sidewalks?? Thank you for asking! Add a crosswalk on North Broadway, 92025, at Park Avenue, to allow safe transportation access Escondido to Seniors. 1) sensible management of the I-15 HOV lanes. Seems that pricing and "HOV only" times make Escondido little sense. 2) more capacity on I-15, 78, and I-5. 3) express transit from Escondido to Kearney Mesa area. Need trip time at about 30 min. Currently busses take more than an hour. San Diego has many small communities that are fueled by small businesses. Don't forget to help Escondido small business keep our economy and our neighborhoods vibrant. Sidewalks, building renovation support, ease of doing business, tax breaks - all help keep us in business. Escondido Rail along the I-15 corridor to Downtown SD In Escondido, some of the rural roads are in poor condition, with many, many potholes. San Pasqual road is a perfect example. Escondido I have read studies that say California has not done anything since the 1990s for building projects to collect and store rain water and that much of it just runs into the ocean. We need to ignore the "green agenda" that blocks everything and do something to save this resource. Improved bus transportation is the only way in the SD area to decrease the number of miles Escondido driven by car. We need regular 'highway' routes supported by regular 'feeder' routes, to allow 80% of the population to get anywhere in less than twice the time it would take to drive. Escondido HOV lanes on highway 78 from I-15 to I-5 We need a train in the inland corridor between Escondido and downtown San Diego. Adding Escondido the HOV lanes has not alleviated the traffic or commute time and it's too expensive to take the HOV lanes as a single driver. Escondido more parks and open space, corridors for wildlife to flourish and survive, limit housing growth Escondido Create a plan to stop urban sprawl. The condition of the local roads all around San Diego County are deplorable. Highest priority Escondido now needs to be repair and resurfacing. Any request for a tax increase must be project specific, otherwise the money is too easy to be diverted. Escondido Some kind of railway system connecting north county to San Diego. With Flint Michigan drinking water having deadly levels of lead one wonders what is in my drinking water. I want to have all fluoride removed from our drinking water. TransNet sales tax can be spent to inform San Diego County cities of any level of any chemical in our drinking Escondido water. Our cities and county's water providers should distribute semiannual reports on the water tests (the company doing the testing, the procedures followed, etc.) and any level of any chemical in our drinking water. Connection via faster transit options between Escondido and North County. More specifically, I Escondido wish that those who reside in North County Inland had more options. The description you have listed under "Transit" is exactly what I want and need. After so much work on the I-15 in North County, there is still the big bottleneck at Lake Hodges. Can we finally get another bridge built to connect Pomerado Road in Ranch Bernardo with Bear Escondido Valley Parkway in Escondido? It is remarkable that, after all these years and billions of dollars in projects, there is still only one way to get across Lake Hodges - the I-15! Habitat kept up & more added along with more safe walking & biking. It seems that money & Escondido political pull all too often nibble away at what we have or derail efforts to increase & maintain our wild life. We all need that!

79 Place of Comments Residence widen Bear Valley Parkway in Escondido area between Highway SR-78 and Las Palmas Ave from 2 lanes to 4. It's a MAJOR thoroughfare for thousands of cars heading to the Valley Center Escondido casinos and frequently clogged with northbound traffic during evening rush hour. They're already widening Bear Valley Parkway north of SR-78 to 4 lanes this year. 1. High speed rail from Escondido to San Diego would relieve a lot of I-15 and 163 congestion. 2. SR 78 isn't wide enough. It can't handle 40,000 students from the two colleges within 3 exits. Escondido 3. Also the I-15 to SR 78 transition is terrible. There needs to be a way for I-15 traffic who are not using 78 to bypass the gridlock or 78 on and off ramps. 4. Population/new construction controls are necessary to keep these things from getting worse. Sprinter extension from Escondido Transit Center to North County Fair(Westfield Shopping Mall) Escondido in Escondido. I'm a big advocate of bike trails and keeping the environment healthy. I would like to see the Escondido bike trail along the sprinter line extended west beyond Rancho Santa Fe Road. I would like to see our last open places preserved and protected. Parks like Daley Ranch are Escondido heavily used and contribute so much to our communities. SR-78 does not provide enough capacity in the North County. Adding additional lanes to this highway should be a priority. The transition ramps to I-5 and I-15 are poorly design. From SR-78 Escondido east to south I-15 is dangerous. Traffic from Nordhal is coming on while a lot of people are trying to get on the I-15 South. The SR-78 west to south I-5 dangerous also. Carpool lanes should be built on SR-78 with Direct Access Ramps to the I-15 carpool lanes. Please provide DecoBike rentals at major Sprinter and other mass transportation stops so when Escondido people get off the train, there is an alternative to walking. The "HOV" lanes are rarely anywhere close to full capacity. The increased commercial truck traffic to/from Mexico and those trucks (and other vehicles towing trailers) using Lanes 3, 4, (or higher) on I-5 and I-15 are causing congestion to the majority of users on these Freeways. Why Escondido not do something "novel" and restrict the Large Trucks, Buses, vehicles towing trailers Commercial Traffic to using the "HOV" lanes? These lanes would get more use and generate a lot more revenue. Digging up a road to accommodate developments; road should be paved as it was. Felicita Road/Redwood St. in Esco Beach Sand will erode every winter. Learn to live with what we have Escondido been given by God and make a difference by educating the public about tides and man-made intrusions. Educate the public to take care of bodies of lakes and rivers. Intersection of Felicita Road and Citracado. When is the bus stop going to be reinstated? Repair our crumbling infrastructure, especially old water lines that seem to fail on a regular basis. And create new infrastructure to capture and retain rain water that could be used by Escondido residents. Watching thousands of gallons of water wasted because of water pipe failures, and thousands of gallons of rain water simply washing out to sea is more than frustrating. Let's build an infrastructure that will support our water conservation efforts. In the nearly forty years I have lived in San Diego, I have seen many changes. Our region's tremendous growth has brought with it significant challenges. Traffic calming, eliminating trash Escondido along our roads and freeway ramps, protecting natural habitats, and finding solutions for sustainable energy are of greatest concern to me. Escondido Trolley lines up the 15 to Escondido. Not transportation, but research (additional) storm water reservoirs to help with future Escondido drought. Escondido More HOV I want to see Transit and Active Transportation combined into ONE - walk paths to community Escondido transport to places other than malls, and work places - how about to the beach, to other places than just downtown SD. How about Escondido south along the 15? Community involvement in multi-use city areas supporting families, arts, environment. Escondido Example: http://people4smartercities.com/video/granby-park

80 Place of Comments Residence -Widening hwy 78. Concentrate on vehicle congestion reduction, not public transportation. -Maintain existing roads -Electric/hybrid vehicles need to pay for road maintenance/construction since they pay little or Escondido no gas tax to support the roads they use. -Keep roads principally for vehicles, not for bikes. Finally, if our taxes were actually used for what they were collected and supposed to be used for, there would be no need for increasing taxes for highways. The 78 freeway is very bad - there are no carpool lanes and has longer commute times than San Escondido Diego freeways. We need more options for ride sharing. FasTrak is very expensive during rush hours. Escondido District one needs more bike lanes, and better streets. Our young people need youth bus/sprinter passes at no cost. Cost of living is so high and this Escondido would allow them to work, get to school and home safely. Please support youth transit! Stop unsustainable cycle of projecting population growth, then planning to accommodate it, always playing catch-up & pretending that land, water and air can infinitely accommodate more growth. Instead start by defining quality of life standards, then work backwards towards a Escondido population cap & plan accordingly. Anything else is just chasing our tail, a pyramid scheme, not real planning. The economy needs to be driven by continuous qualitative improvement, not quantitative population growth. More Trolley Routes to denser neighborhoods, and compass cards with loadable funds. We can Escondido cut down on increased traffic if a public transportation alternative that doesn't add to traffic(such as the trolley) is available. There are multiple consistent bottlenecks on the highways not being addressed. The 78/15 merge is horrible in all directions every morning and afternoon. The 78 between Vista and Escondido Nordahl is horrible every afternoon. I can literally ride my bike on surface roads for my 15-mile commute and it takes me only 15 minutes longer than taking the highway. I would REALLY like to see a project to bring a mass transit (train/trolley) system that goes from Escondido the Escondido area down to Downtown (via the I-15 corridor). La Media Road (SR-905 south to Siempre Viva Road), including the flooding at the intersection of La Media Road and Airway Road. This project is a City CIP project, but it currently lacks the required funding to commence construction. This roadway is critical to the region because it is Escondido the Southbound Truck Route facilitating commerce between the U.S. and Mexico. Today, it is an insufficient 2-lane road, but it is planned to be widened to a 5-lane road with an estimated cost of $33.2 million. Please follow the California Chaparral Institute's http://www.californiachaparral.com/ Escondido recommendations for Habitat Conservation and reducing the risk of wildfires. I would like to see access to the I-15 South HOV lanes before the I-15 / 78 intersection. This area always backs up in the morning and it would make for a better commute for all if HOV & Escondido FasTrak drivers were already in the express lane before this chokepoint! This could be similar to the entry onto I-15 North from 163. Escondido No sales tax increase. I would like 2 things. 1. Better connections between the transit stations and bicycle lanes. The Escondido Transit Center is a great example of a successful linkage of cycling with transit: there Escondido are several lanes that leave from there. 2. An expansion in the trolley up to Escondido, routed through the middle of I-15, would help to reduce need for more lanes, expanded commuting options, expanded number of transit users, and habitat conservation as a consequence. Thanks! Escondido Increases bike lanes! Maintain existing infrastructure: roads, pipes, drains, water storage, parks, public Escondido lands/buildings. Build a new N/S inland freeway. Secure border. Hiking, equestrian, and Mountain bike trails. Single track, mixed use would be greatly Escondido appreciated.

81 Place of Comments Residence use of open spaces. we need more water storage before we build anymore. stop putting the Escondido cart in front of the horse. all our problems we have we created! we need to look at the big picture not our wallets!! I believe if each one of us living in our community took an active part in improving and taking pride in our "homeland" that would make a big difference. even if there could be a small incentive for taking part in a community project may encourage people to become active. Kind Escondido of like getting an allowance for your chores. I was always expected to do my part in the family and my reward was a secure family environment. But some people think they should get rewarded for doing the expected. Increased funding for active transportation, especially in low-income communities, so that all San Diego County children and youth have opportunities to exercise and safely walk or bike to Escondido their local school. By investing early in life in children's physical activity, and helping to make the healthy choice (walking & biking) the easy choice, San Diego County will save millions of dollars later on from decreased health care expenditures. Due to the amount of parked vehicles at the 800 acre Elfin Forest Reserve every weekend, it is clear that we need more open space. Human beings need to be able to recreate in areas, away Escondido from the hustle & bustle, to walk, hike, bike, ride their horses and just breathe fresh air and listen to the sound of nature. Imperial Beach Increased efforts and funding for cleaning up TJ River pollution. Need to keep EIS and EAs well-funded in order to get ahead of drainage clearing/dredging and Imperial Beach beautification creek/drainage improvement projects. Imperial Beach Increase light rail to east county Effort needs to be made to separate bikes from foot travel. It is far too dangerous for walkers Imperial Beach on paths which bikers feel are their domain. Bikers are becoming much more numerous and travel in packs. Accommodations need to be made for the foot traveler. Make pond 20 (south end of the bay) a public park. It would be beautiful without much effort. Imperial Beach As it stands it is just a chip in the poker game of politics and big business. Give it to the people to enjoy. Make pond 20 (south end of the bay) a public park. It would be beautiful without much effort. Imperial Beach As it stands it is just a chip in the poker game of politics and big business. Give it to the people to enjoy. Since we live close to the border, it is important to work with Mexico (Tijuana) and get the river Imperial Beach and its pollution under control. Imperial Beach Beach sand Imperial Beach Beach sand TJ river clean up, so it doesn't pollute our beaches Freeway expansion and long distance lanes - I 15 south to the 805 from 163 - no exits until the Imperial Beach 805 area - stop the lane changing. Same can be applied many places. Not carpool lanes - long distance lanes. Reduce Traffic on Palm Ave. (route 75) using smart traffic lights. Quit wasting money on bike Imperial Beach paths Commercial development of unused salt pond next to highway 75 at Imperial Beach/San Diego Imperial Beach border. I would like to see the Southbay 125 freeway open at no cost for the public. It would reduce the traffic on both 805 and 5 freeway. Have the city be more proactive in giving out tickets for pet Imperial Beach owners who do not pick up after their pets. We know that animal waste end up in the ocean. City should spend more money in cleaning the streets. I have seen the streets Of Chula Vista with a lot of trash. Once again, it rains and the trash end up in the ocean.

82 Place of Comments Residence I'm a technical specialist here in SD, I've worked on SANDAG RTP that got sued. I’ve commuted daily South Bay to Kearny Mesa. Now, with a new job downtown, via trolley's a grueling effort 1.5 hours each way going15 miles a car can get me to in ~20 minutes--double that in traffic. Get Imperial Beach with it, SD: Effective mass transit equals more routes, speed, punctuality, frequency, efficiency!! Streetcars might free up parking spaces and take more DUIs and/or clueless accident-causing tourist drivers off the roads! Imperial Beach Not everyone can afford the prices they have for transportation

La Mesa We need a contagious bicycle trail -- with protected lanes -- form east county to downtown. A. Any ballot measure should fund advancing transit faster than the recently adopted 2015 Regional Plan. B. Any ballot measure should have funds for active transportation, including bicycling and safe La Mesa infrastructure. C. Any ballot measure should help fund affordable housing near transit, which has been shown to reduce greenhouse gasses. Increase implementation of public transportation projects and no-vehicle or reduced-vehicle La Mesa traffic zones. Protect parks. Highway 125 between 94 and I-8 is a dangerous mess (both directions). 500 characters is hardly La Mesa enough space to give input for this survey. I had five other spots to report. I'd like to see an approved process developed to provide incentives to developers to use grey water and sewage filter systems to create new wetland habitats, restore ground water and La Mesa increase our potable water supply, like Orange County??!!! (I will help with developing the plan if you want community participation) I realize we don't have a Prado Dam but there are other ways to approach the concept. La Mesa repair current highways and local county city streets Forget Chargers. Fix Convention Center. Extend trolley to airport or connect trolley stop to La Mesa airport with free bus. La Mesa Improvements to the 94 freeway corridor. 1. Let citizens propose, evaluate and vote on future plans online in place of Board to optimize satisfaction. End special interest, insider domination. La Mesa 2. Automate and wirelessly electrify freeways and main roads. Replace transit with private, smart, urban, hybrid vehicles. 3. Build new towns for maximum citizen satisfaction; do it right this time. La Mesa Fund the Caltrans State Route 94 Operational Improvement Project. noise reduction on the 125 between 94 merge and Grossmont. Construct a wall on the east side La Mesa of the 125, in place of the metal fence, that will reduce road noise in the neighborhoods east of Bancroft and north of Edgewood Drive in La Mesa, CA Senior affordable housing in the City of La Mesa where the old police department was located-- La Mesa an ideal location because of the availability of the trolley and bus service. It is an ideal location to make La Mesa a smart growth city. Trolley ev 7 mins @ rush hrs. More trolley to lg work ctrs like Kearny Mesa & Sorrento Vly Train kids & aged to cross street - eye contact w/ Drivers Many peds phone junkies don’t pay attn La Mesa Maybe Bott's dots in xwalks so drivers/peds feel & hear bumps? PSA drivers stop BEHIND crosswalk not IN it. I-8E off-ramp 70th St/Lake Murray THE WORST I want to see one or more desalination plants and water reclamation in SD County. Water is our La Mesa biggest problem. More and better highways. Congestion going to & from work is a real problem. Not everyone wants to carpool or use mass transit. The relocation of the rail line from the cliffs in Del Mar, or an effective stabilization fix, needs a La Mesa higher priority. This is a disaster waiting to happen, and is not going away. Mother Nature will see to that. The Complete Streets Program benefits the community by providing needed transportation La Mesa improvements while also addressing active transportation and environmental issues.

83 Place of Comments Residence In traveling around the county "streets", especially in the City of San Diego, are in bad shape. I La Mesa especially noticed this along Morena Boulevard. These pot holes are especially dangerous for bike riders and motorcycles. A more thoughtful and focused concentration on city aesthetics and architecture--both carefully La Mesa preserving the beauty of the past in buildings and open space, and insure new construction is elegant and does not obscure, crowd, or besmirch our natural beauty, such as the Bayfront. I would have chosen Habitat Conservation if I didn't think that when you say, "...reduce the risk of wildfires..." you didn't mean continue having people denude their hillsides, which has been La Mesa the policy and has resulted in invasive grasses and other weeds. This policy has increased fire hazards, reduced habitat for native species, and caused erosion. I want SANDAG to find new ways to provide public transit alternatives to individually driven cars and trucks. SANDAG needs to find new ways to connect where people live with where they La Mesa work with convenient transit alternatives. We also need to develop a regionwide bike lanes network that doesn't require bike riders to share the streets with cars and trucks. Any increase in sales tax that results in increased funding for TransNet Habitat Conservation and La Mesa Water Quality improvements should ensure these project include the need to protect Tribal Cultural Resources as a high priority and partnerships with tribes and tribal organizations. La Mesa trolley to the airport. I would like to see improved mass transit for the growing number of older adults coming down the stream who will be isolated if we do not add more options. I am also still concerned about La Mesa an adequate amount of clean drinking water if we continue to add persons to our region as it is already a concern in recurring drought years. - Light rail/trolley along I-15 to North County, connecting with trolley: we can't wait for the high-speed train, and new I-15 express buses are useless from East County. Imagine Zoo Safari La Mesa Park accessible by transit! - Trolley/people mover from trolley to Lindbergh Field; in the meantime, shuttle loop from Old Town or Washington trolley stops to airport via/through Liberty Station La Mesa More trolley lines and more bike only lanes. Please expand the trolley and train system! Other big cities have a network of local trains/light rail that connect to commuter rail lines that connect to regional and national railways! San La Mesa Diego should too! We need to build more housing along these rail lines so that people use them. Finish 125/94 connector La Mesa Ease congestion on 52 West at 125 Improved bikeway - users could pay a fee - a license? Desalinization plants. Transportation in rural areas? In Grand Cayman, minivans drive around, identified, to pick-up passengers. La Mesa Making sure that Tijuana cleans-up its own trash - why does S.D. put up with this? I lived near Santa Cruz and houses had huge metal, in ground tanks that contained water runoff and was connected to sprinklers. I always wondered why So. Cal doesn't do this. "Transit" is so important for the future of a city! Think San Francisco...so easy to get around without a car! We need better transit to the military bases & to the military contractor companies. La Mesa "City Projects" it includes roads, bike, pedestrian & transit (Active Transportation) & water quality, open space & beach (Water Quality) All are important to San Diego. Habitat the risk of wildfires is important to all of San Diego people, the ecosystems & environment. More transit options in East County. I work in Lakeside and live in La Mesa. I would need to walk La Mesa 1 mile or longer from the nearest bus stop to my job.

84 Place of Comments Residence I would like to see sidewalks and traffic calming in my neighborhood. Big commercial tractor trailers coming down our little two lane residential street when a four lane commercial road is a La Mesa few blocks away. Also, mountain biking trails should be added or included in plans for hiking, biking, walking, etc. trails. I would be happy to see our water quality improved such as clearing storm drains and channels that carry runoff. Many are clogged with plants, trees and rubbish. Upscale Logan Heights, National City, Mountain View, Lincoln Acres, Bay Terraces, Encanto, Oak La Mesa Park & City Heights to become vibrant and interactive with Downtown and linked with East County. An opportunity for the region is to develop Mountain Bike Trails that connect Cities and Employment centers. As an example, SANDAG could work with the Marines to open Sycamore Canyon to hiking and biking. Santee residents could commute by mountain bike to employment La Mesa centers off Scripps Poway Parkway. Other similar trail systems exist from East County to South County; however, there is significant pressure to close trails rather than encourage this efficient transportation option. Why does the west bound i8 2nd Street over-pass in EL Cajon dip Down so much compared to La Mesa the nearby surrounding over-passes? And no I don't mean before or after literally on the bridge itself. The San Diego Forward report claims that SR125 between SR94 and I8 is currently “8F,” but in fact, for a very brief stretch under the Mariposa St/Merritt Boulevard bridge, there are only 3 lanes in each direction. It appears that SANDAG is not planning to fix this until 2050. Increasing La Mesa this stretch to 4 lanes in each direction (which is the number SANDAG seems to think are already there) would eliminate this bottleneck and significantly shorten the commute for me and thousands of others. Continue with the ongoing freeway expansions/ DAR/HOV projects. Finish incomplete La Mesa interchanges like the 94/125 (SB to EB connector, 5/56 (SB to EB connector), etc. It is crucial community input to shape the investment priorities SANDAG is considering for the ballot measure to increase our local sales tax. SANDAG's investments will only move our region La Mesa if it prioritizes clean air, better transit, and good jobs. NO project does that better than the Youth Opportunity Pass (YOP) Program, which would provide no-cost transit passes to all students in our region. Please invest our tax dollars wisely and invest in YOPs! La Mesa Better transit transportation, help for the homeless, affordable housing. Express buses that utilize existing freeways would be an efficient way to increase the use of public transportation at a minimal cost. Buses would run the length of each freeway in the county. There would be a terminal at every freeway junction. The overpass would provide basic La Mesa protection from the elements at each terminal. The cost of a slow speed bus ramp to each terminal would be minimal. This would be a very simple system to complement the existing bus/trolley system. Bob Barnard I'm a retired school teacher. Is there a curriculum developed that can teach children about La Mesa different systems of transportation and how important it can be for their future to learn not to depend on cars? La Mesa Easier foot and bike access to trolleys. I would definitely like to see the trolley lines improved. either by providing faster transit times between El Cajon and Downtown or by creating alternate routes. It would also be helpful to La Mesa link the trolley system to different parts of the city such as mission bay or La Jolla. As a biker I would also like to see bike routes that are parallel to I8 that provide safe transit. Widening of 125 through the squeeze in La Mesa - but as a La Mesa resident, ensure neighbor La Mesa "connectivity" by ensuring the existing Mariposa Avenue bridge is replaced. More protected cycle lanes. There are too many roads with bike lanes that end or begin abruptly without giving motorists a chance to react to being forced to share the lane with a La Mesa bike. Too much parallel parking on routes that are bike routes leading to dangerous bike travel lanes with door opening.

85 Place of Comments Residence We need transit circulatory that reconnect our urban neighborhoods. Please fund historic Class 1 streetcars. Also, freeway mitigation, not expansion, is needed. Please fund freeway decks/caps, La Mesa traffic calming, road narrowing, and active transportation. No more induced traffic and sprawl through highway widening!! Regents Road Bridge including bikeway La Mesa Light rail connection to the airport La Mesa Return of streetcars I think there should be more investment in public forms of transportation, expanding the trolley La Mesa lines to service more people and making cities more walk/bike friendly. Protected bike lanes on roads that are bike routes throughout the cities. Ways to link areas La Mesa together. To have actual sidewalks in La Mesa and actual bike lanes. It’s so hard to walk, run, and bike La Mesa around La Mesa because of the lack of bike lanes and a lack of consistent sidewalks. La Mesa And expanded parkland! I would like to see the individuality of our local areas preserved. They are what makes our larger La Mesa area of San Diego unique. Safety must be #1. Infrastructure for non-auto commutes is behind what exists in other major cities & abroad. Bike routes exist & are being designed which are too narrow for grade & speed. IE Hwy 52 from Santee or bike lanes in door zones. Another concern, why is there no cycling La Mesa access to Coronado? With the toll now gone, it's time to look at an alt. route for cyclists without taking the ferry or riding 25 miles around. At least the ferry should be free to cyclists as the bridge is for cars. Would love to see single-track trails. I'd commute to work if I could do it via mountain bike. Fire La Mesa roads are NOT trails. Would be fantastic if the trolley went to the airport! Wondering why that wasn't in the original plan....? La Mesa Traffic is so ridiculously HORRIBLE, not only during rush hour, but anytime there's a minor little accident. Some kind of reminder on the freeway message boards for people NOT TO FOLLOW SO CLOSELY to the car in front would reduce the amount of accidents. San Diego needs rail that actually goes where people live - right through the heart of Hillcrest, Lemon Grove North Park, City Heights - not just along freeway corridors. A wider network of trails that includes more urban and suburban walking trails. Please connect Lemon Grove the trails as much as possible. Please improve our streets. There are so many streets throughout the county that are buckled or cracked. Lemon Grove Make it safe for pedestrians to cross streets with perhaps better signals(not a cross streets) perhaps with something that makes a sound. And please protect our wildlife. Make the water clean. Fix the damn streets ,they are in worse shape than they are Mexico ! And get rid of the Union in Lemon Grove the public sector. Lemon Grove Fix the potholes. Finish the freeway improvements. The roads in Lemon Grove are in dire need of resurfacing. Major pot holes and cracked in nearly Lemon Grove all parts of town. North/south public transit (train or trolley) along 5, 805. A trolley route to UCSD has been planned for over 10 years and is still not anywhere near completion. While additions to Lemon Grove freeways are ongoing (805/5 merge, Genesee bridge over 5), but will do little or nothing to alleviate traffic on the 5/805. Can't ride our bikes or skateboard if roads are full of potholes. Makes it very unsafe driving too. If more two way streets were turned into one way then we'd have room to ride bikes. Parents Lemon Grove would feel safe letting their kids bike and walk in streets that are calmer and have designated bike lanes. Bike lanes on busy streets is not enough-barriers are needed. Lower speeds need to be enforced.

86 Place of Comments Residence Better handicap accessibility for public spaces/venues. Lemon Grove Library prime example. Inaccessible to many mobility-challenged patrons unless in a motorized chair. Ramp is dangerously steep and narrow with hairpin turn. Many other venues/parks/buildings/restrooms Lemon Grove throughout County meet 'legal' requirements per se, from parking area to entrances, but not in any user friendly, easy maneuver sort of way; especially not practical for those using walkers, canes, or crutches. transit has to compete with my car. I rather take public transportation to go to work but I rather drive half hour than two and a half hours to get back to my kids. also, transit is way more National City expensive than me driving my car. but whenever my car breaks down I’m thankful that we at least have a way to get to work and back by using transit. It is crucial community input to shape the investment priorities SANDAG is considering for the ballot measure to increase our local sales tax. SANDAG's investments will only move our region National City if it prioritizes clean air, better transit, and good jobs. NO project does that better than the Youth Opportunity Pass (YOP) Program, which would provide no-cost transit passes to all students in our region.

Cleanup beaches; remove invasive exotic plant pests; protect water quality at border; get PCBs out of Convair lagoon; utilize infiltration basins to allow pollutants to settle from highway National City runoff, new construction must have a way to allow rainfall to infiltrate the ground and not cause flash flooding of runoff into storm drain; stop channelizing rivers, keep corridors natural, remove concrete channels, restore to natural habitats to slow runoff. More station buses and trolley station. I want that students have free transportation buses National City because there too expense and we can’t not be afford and we don't want to contaminated the city. National City free passes and help reduce pollution by stop creating more freeways and highways. One of the projects I got in mind are for all the city vehicles to be electrical cars to reduce the National City city pollution. Also for youth and senior peoples to have free bus passes http://www.sdyimby.net/ Any of these projects completed in less than a lifetime: Oceanside http://www.keepsandiegomoving.com/RegionalBikeProjects/Introduction.aspx NO MORE FREEWAY expansions. Make local streets better for walking, biking and healthier Oceanside environment. Complete rail to trail as a priority! Way too much money is spent on transit, bike lanes and such, not enough money is spent on Oceanside roadways. Too much is spent to benefit too few people, I don't believe TransNet is being used as was marketed, I will vote NO on any further taxes .. Faster access between 76/College in Oceanside and CA-78. It takes 30 minutes to get onto the 78 Oceanside from Camp Pendleton/Eastern Oceanside. I-5-> CA-78 interchange backups up I-5 on a regular basis due to design of transition roads

87 Place of Comments Residence I would to see more restrictive fishing laws introduced, such as mandatory Catch-and-Release on the Oceanside Pier. It's embarrassing how many tiny fish are pulled from the ocean into buckets, Oceanside destroying our local marine food chain. I love fishing as a sport, but the current activity on the pier is too much and the city appears to be doing nothing about it. Less dependency on cars/freeways, more bike lanes throughout the county (particularly north Oceanside coastal) Oceanside Make more bikeways. Oceanside Coast Highway from north the 76 off ramp to south Carlsbad Two Lanes, bulb outs, Oceanside round abouts, center turning lane when deemed necessary. Including a safe & quot; practical & quot; route to school for those living north of Oceanside Boulevard. Initiate a NO right hand turn in the morning on Papagallo at Vandegrift, last intersection prior to the back gate of Pendleton. Folks take a short cut up Douglas, Village, Championship, Straightaway, and Papagallo to get around other base traffic. Most rarely stop at signs, cut the Oceanside turns, and exceed the 25 mph speed limit. Safety is a main concern. Being able to back out of our driveways, kids waiting for school transport playing, and increased chance of accidents further amplify safety. More frequent rail transportation from North County to SD on the weekends. Having more (and later) train service available would be a boost to SD economy; as it stands now, it is impossible Oceanside to take the train from North County to SD for dinner on the weekend - no way to get back! Also, please finish/improve bike trails from North County southbound! Use our money to fix the current infrastructure. No new bike lanes unless bikes start getting taxed to cover the roadways they are taking from drivers. Stop projects like giant flyover Oceanside overpasses suggested for the 78/ i-5 interchange. Tunnel it so the homeowners are not affected. More transit options to get (from the Coaster stations) to Kearny Mesa transit depot. Oceanside Neighborhood shuttles to take people quickly to Sprinter and Coaster stations. Oceanside The create more wild life corridors, especially accessible to water. I'd like a leadership that doesn't fish for new ways to raise taxes. How great would it be if government worked within their means and in the best interests of its constituents? I vote for Oceanside leadership that doesn't need to put every decision on the ballot. Also, don't want to see any more highway widening and leave the I-5/78 interchange as is. Imagine living in the impacted area before dreaming up your projects. Oceanside SR78/ I-5 interchange We need less investment in building more I-5 freeways lanes and more focus on regional non- car transportation planning. Oceanside borders Carlsbad, Camp Pendleton, and Vista. Instead of Oceanside being contentious and competitive *ALL* of these city governments/military establishments need to get to the table as our transportation infrastructure does not stop at city boundaries. There is a need for quicker response to street repairs. Certain times of the day street light coordination needs improvement. Some bus stops interfere with the flow of traffic. Improving Oceanside our habitat improves our local quality of life, especially during drought conditions. Underground collection of the runoff could be another local source of water for irrigation or drinking and reduce pollution along the shoreline. More frequent service on the Coaster and bus routes, especially Coaster connection in Sorrento Oceanside Valley. I wouldn't be able to take the Coaster without the 979 connecting me to my workplace. I would also take the Coaster more for nighttime activities if it had a late train to take me home. Oceanside More rail and bus rapid transit project. Put more funds to MTS and NCTD. More reliable rail and rail schedules from North County, East County and South County in San Oceanside Diego city center. Oceanside Widen I-5

88 Place of Comments Residence finishing in a timely manner 76 Oceanside cleaning and landscaping our weeded garbage filled highways new flyover between 78 and I 5 now not in 20 years San Diego has great rail service. But how do I get to places from a railway station. We need Oceanside more busses with better schedules going to more destinations. I don't really have a silver bullet to fix things. Our mass transit system is okay, but highly under used because it takes too long to get to your destination. Improving our highways and Oceanside secondary streets to move traffic more efficiently is currently the best bet, which includes traffic signal coordination. Nothing more frustrating than setting at a stop light when there isn't any cross traffic. Good luck ! Improved ticketing and convenience of public transit. Ability to load a card with cash for occasional trips, not just monthly passes. More consumer friendly bus and trolley/train stops with Oceanside shade from sun( and rain!) and "sit bars" to sit on, like in Europe . (not enough to sleep on but some comfort to take weight off weary feet!) Make it an easy pleasant experience and more will use it! The beaches are critical for our area... Oceanside seems to lose more and more sand... we need Oceanside to come up with a way to keep the sand... jetties, or other creative ways would help. We have to put a stop to the sand erosion. Oceanside more lanes on freeway or double decked (one lane for through traffic) I would like to see the Coast Highway in Oceanside have "traffic calming" traffic lanes that are Oceanside more bike and pedestrian friendly. I think this would improve the financial success of businesses along this corridor and would make it safer. We need an expanded convention center. Comic con is the real money maker for restaurants Oceanside and hotels in San Diego, and a large convention center would attract more events and ease our reliability on Comic Con for businesses to get into the black. Quiet the train by creating crossings along coast that don’t require horn blasting. Stop wasting Oceanside money on endless projects that have little benefit. Improve traffic flow on 5 freeway between Oceanside and Carmel Valley. Prioritize building HOV lanes and incorporate reversible directional HOV lanes during peak flow times between Lomas Santa Fe and SR 78. Incentivize the contractors with early finish bonuses for this project. Oceanside Don't wait until 2030 for completion, we need it now! Consider in-and-out HOV lane access to allow access between Del Mar Heights Road and Lomas Santa Fe Avenue in both directions, and for all HOV lanes in the county. Completion of the Sea to Sea Trail, and a bike path along the Sprinter corridor. I don't want a Oceanside tax increase, CA residents already pay exorbitant taxes. Controlling wasteful spending and reforming CALPERS pensions would go a lot further than another tax increase. I want fewer freeways and better public transportation in the North County. Don't widen I-5. Oceanside Put a fast rail system in the center of it instead. There could be a quick stop in each town, with good bus/bike/Zip Car options from those hubs to frequently used locations locally. Affordable housing (good quality). Oceanside 1br 1ba rentals at $600 to $800 4br 2 ba homes at $350k New general use lanes are more important and would help more people than HOV lanes. I will not support a sales tax increase that doesn't include them. Stop trying to make life miserable for Oceanside people who drive solo. We also need to move to desalinization for a stable, local water source and create more reservoirs to store it. That would create more lakes and rivers plus have the added advantage of lessening the impact of rising seas caused by global warming. Traffic calming on PCH through Oceanside to make this a more bike- and pedestrian-friendly Oceanside area, including designated bike lanes, round-a-bouts, planters as traffic dividers, multi- directional pedestrian crossings [e.g., Carlsbad Village Drive]. Oceanside Extend bike/walk only pathways around San Diego County

89 Place of Comments Residence Make roads safe for kids to bike or walk to school and educate the families to try it. School pick Oceanside up and drop off is NUTS! Stop building homes until transportation is in place. Everyone is tired of gridlock. No one is Oceanside complaining about a lack of housing except developers. Oceanside widen interstate 5 Oceanside Build more all-purpose freeway and highway lanes. Number one need right now. keep south Oceanside quaint and beautiful, no flyover fwy on/off ramps at 78/5 interchange. find a better way to keep traffic flowing without destroying the ocean view and neighborhood Oceanside by closing the fwy "end" to Vista way and making it just an interchange/normal exit with traffic FLOWING instead of stopping! get rid of the traffic lights and just turn the south 5 lanes like the north 5 lanes and an exit toward Vista way. Oceanside A sound barrier wall along the 56 bike path. Revise bike lane/street design to flip-flop bike lanes with parking. Current design has high exposure to vehicle/bike accidents due to the necessity of cars crossing the bike lane to park. Oceanside This is a fundamental circulation/zoning organization correction that should be addressed prior to any commitment to expansion of the dedicated bike lane concept. I would like to see the bottle necks resolved on Hwy 5. More lanes (both ways) should be added from Del Mar up to Hwy 76. This has been on the books for 40years Secondly the HOV lane between Hwy5 & Hwy805 "Y" through to Manchester Ave is a Glorified Oceanside Joke. Frequently I have witnessed only one driver in a vehicle using the lane & the CHP are nowhere to be seen. They are a Joke also. PS I do know that some fuel economy vehicles can use the HOV Lane. I'd like to see less cars on the roads and San Diego push commuting efforts, include creating safer bike and pedestrian paths that connect business areas to residential areas so there is a Oceanside potential to reduce car transportation. I’d like San Diego to continue its driving force in being a clean energy and environmentally driven city. Oceanside Fix the I-5 in North County with additional lanes and HOV I'd like see changes to the traffic laws so that buses have "right of way" privileges like Oceanside emergency responders, so that they can make it to transit stops on time. I think this will increase the use of public transportation because it'll make public transportation more reliable. A shuttle, bus, or transit that can deliver North County commuters from the Sorrento Valley Transit Station to the business/ industrial parks in Kearney Mesa. Currently, people who live in Oceanside North County and work in Kearny Mesa/ Claremont Mesa do not have an incentive to take public transportation b/c available public options are very expensive and take much longer than driving. Shorten the coaster/Amtrak commute by building a direct connection along the I-5 corridor just south of the Sorrento Valley station. This would increase ridership dramatically and provide a Oceanside direct connection to UCSD employment and the Blue Line Trolley Extension. Double track the sprinter in north county to allow for more frequent service. Extend hours on Thursdays to promote transit to the very popular Sunset Market in downtown Oceanside. The 78 corridor is overwhelmed; specifically inland Oceanside. Tens of thousands of residents are being held captive by a very small and vocal minority who oppose a new off ramp at Rancho Del Oceanside Oro Road. Development is NOW impacting public safety. A new FedEx facility opening in the area will only add to this burden. Oceanside is accepting the tax revenue but are shifting the blame to SANDAG. Who's accountable? Please help! I'd like to see SANDAG's administration and its plans and projects limited to currently available Oceanside funding. No more mission creep and NO MORE tax increases - for any reason. Oceanside Get the Rail Bike Trail completed! I would like to see these three projects as the most important resource to keep San Diego Oceanside County to move forward regarding (City Projects, Habitat Conservation and to improve water quality) and reduce our drought in California.

90 Place of Comments Residence I would like to take one trolley to Balboa Park without having to transfer or take a bus or walk Oceanside the last mile or so. No more than a two block walk, so it works for most people. Definitely the most important project for the East Oceanside area would be to dramatically improve Highway 76. This highway has been a major screw-up since it opened. It is unbelievable Oceanside at how short sighted the planning for this highway has been from the start. The amount of money wasted on piece-meal planning is disgraceful. It should of been at least 6 lanes from the start. Just LOOK at the amount of traffic and accidents over the last 20 years. highways need priority especially I-5 Ca 78 interchange and I-5 widening from Oceanside to SD Oceanside City Transit is a waste of money for the number of people using it . The most important thing we can do for our region is expand our freeways to provide space for us to drive. We are not like other major cities in terms of our geography, population distribution Oceanside or lifestyle. We shouldn't keep wasting money on rail projects, but rather should acknowledge the important role of motor vehicles. By fixing our freeways we will expedite the commute and make the entire region more productive. We must reduce driving enough to achieve climate-stabilizing targets, given reasonable assumptions of fleet efficiency, in target years. We will need bike riding education, transit, Oceanside complete streets and improved methods to pay for the use of parking and driving. Subsidizing driving is terrible public policy. The trolley has too many stops through downtown. Add a Naval Base San Diego stop to the Coaster to increase ridership and decrease the heavy traffic. A public transit connection to the airport is also extremely important for residents and visitors. A BRT system like Melbourne Oceanside Australia has implemented is also an idea worth investigating. For water quality and conservation harvesting storm water runoff and toilet to tap concept are things San Diego County needs to consider. Re-do the connection between highway 78 and 5. Extend car pool lanes on highway 5 to Oceanside highway 76. Increase frequency of coaster on weekend. Oceanside More frequent rail trips on the Coaster corridor - accelerate I-5 improvements It would be great if the Coaster ran early enough in the morning for first airport flights Oceanside (connection bus arriving at airport 5am ish)and hourly after rush hour so air passengers coming from the north could take the train both ways instead of driving and parking. Please preserve the open space that is left! That's what has brought most of us and the tourists to San Diego. No unexamined, unregulated "bought" projects like the Caruso 85/15 in Carlsbad Oceanside - shopping and dining abounds in San Diego county, lets protect and enhance our environment for all living things! Oceanside Beach sand replenishment: ensures tourism revenues and amenity for residents Restoration of the land across from the Buena Vista Nature Center. The land was recently Oceanside acquired by Buena Vista Audubon Society. I want an END to this evil agenda of yours. I want my city of Oceanside to withdraw from your Oceanside totalitarian organization. Take your rotten Agenda 21 and shove it.

Installing footbridge and walk ways for schools and communities to encourage walking \ biking Oceanside rather than driving. Develop more mass transit options

Oceanside Mass transit is of paramount importance. Water Quality and Water Security needs to remain high on the list. Add more security to protect our water resources. All waterways must be protected but here the battle is the proposed Gregory Canyon Landfill. No matter what they claim, there will be leakage at some point in the Oceanside future. Vote to kill the Gregory Canyon Landfill project. Regarding highways, move the construction date of the Interstate 5 Freeway and 78 interchange sooner. It's way overdue. Thanks!

91 Place of Comments Residence Take steps to increase water quantity and quality for residence. Stop illegal immigration which Oceanside creates a drain on our Cities, State and county resources. North County needs more and expanded major east-west corridors connecting the 5 & 15 Oceanside freeways. Improved frequency, reliability, and affordability of public transit between North County (Oceanside in particular) and San Diego. I currently do not take public transit because of poor Oceanside schedule (the minimal frequency allows for little to no flexibility in my schedule) and reliability problems (I was made late to work on multiple occasions over a 3 month time frame, which is unacceptable to most people with regular employment). NCTD additional schedules needed. When it comes to reducing vehicular traffic downtown, one possible improvement would be adding late night COASTER schedules northbound, especially on weekends. The 9:00 p.m. Oceanside AMTRAK is the last train north, and that's far too early to allow enjoying the downtown nightlife. Perhaps more people would frequent downtown establishments and stay off the highway if a late train or two was available. Moving the spent fuel rods from San Onofre to lessen the possibility of a need for massive evacuation. Oceanside What are the evacuation plans for those of us within a fifty mile radius of the stored fuel rods in the event of radioactive fallout due to natural disaster or terrorist attack, anyway? I would like to see the Coaster run more often. the current schedule makes it near impossible for me to count on it to be available when I need it. Currently it takes about 2 hours for me to use Oceanside the sprinter and coaster to get from my home in Oceanside to my office. And that is if I catch the trains I try for. driving is approximately one hour. 1. motivate and support citizens change of habit TO public transportation 2. support Buena Vista Lagoon clean sea water flow & mosquito population decrease 3. influence Cal Trans I-5 & 78 interchange plans that: retain inland ocean views (low profile, not Oceanside a towering eyesore); support/improve Buena Vista Lagoon water quality (above); retains South Oceanside community 4. retain rainwater to: replenish aquifers; landscape irrigation; fill reservoirs 5. increase grey water home use Podcast went leave message when abruptly cut off, My? O'side - So Coast Hwy child on bike/senior-scooter killed bike lane/City said U have no $ to fund public safety improvement. Oceanside How many Kids/seniors die before U worth attn.? Funds requested 4 years, told repeatedly, NO! Community livid! Please help Jimmy Knott III I would like to have SANDAG help with the restoration of the 3.5 acre parcel of land on Buena Oceanside Vista Lagoon recently purchased by Buena Vista Audubon Society. I would like SANDAG to look into the new Hyper loop train project of Elon Mask. http://www.theverge.com/2016/1/29/10863232/hyperloop-pod-competition-texas-elon-musk- spacex-hover-engines One alternative instead of the construction of new lanes, could be to Oceanside building a transit system in between the highway lanes as they did in other cities (Washington DC). There's good example out there. You guys are making the future today and people trust in your decisions. I think the addition of the Sprinter commuter line was a good idea, I would like to see a similar Oceanside line going from Temecula/Escondido to San Diego to offload I-15. Complete the Coastal Trail. complete the Inland Rail Trail, build protected Safe Routes to Oceanside Schools including funding and supporting Walking School Busses and Bicycle Trains. Oceanside Compass Cards where the balance doesn't expire in a short period of time. Oceanside Make absolutely certain that our water is safe to consume. Oceanside I would like to know what the status of the Harbor Drive HOV project is; to include a time line. Improving the quality of infrastructure in San Diego, north county in particular. There are plenty of roads that are falling apart and it takes a very long time to get them fixed. There has to be Oceanside something to do about those: using better quality material, finding better ways to decrease wear, etc. The next thing is decrease traffic on our freeways.

92 Place of Comments Residence More gasoline is burned / emissions are caused by cars sitting at the stop light from Highway 78 Oceanside to I-5 than any other intersection in California. I will not vote one dime for any measure that does not include this project being fast tracked. Oceanside Restoration of Buena Vista Lagoon to salt water tidal flushing. I live in coastal Oceanside not far from I-5. Freeway noise is the number one quality-of-life issue for me. I would love to see a noise abatement project at and around the Oceanside Boulevard Oceanside bridge. The noise is disturbing and life altering. Train noise is also an important noise source in the area but is not nearly as onerous as traffic noise, particularly freeway traffic. Every city should be focused on a more bike friendly infrastructure in order to prevent pollution and promote healthy living. Los Angeles is a perfect example of a city that failed in public Oceanside transportation. They got rid of cable cars and bike lanes in order to make wider freeways and they still have constant gridlock. By creating safer bike lanes, more people will commute by bicycles which will reduce traffic, reduce pollution and reduce our dependency on oil. I would like to see more times available on the Coaster. I would like to partake of the options Oceanside available in San Diego but the times on the Coaster are very restrictive. Oceanside 78 is not big enough at the I-5. Glad to see 76 widening to the 15. A-rail connection to the new state high-speed rail system Oceanside B-more real hiking trails Priorities: 1)Light rail service to the coastal cities & the airport from Oceanside. Like Bart service in the Bay Area. 2)SAFE BIKE LANES running east (from outside I5) that connect to coastal rail Oceanside stations and beaches. We live in the greatest city in the world for biking but doing so is extremely risky. I would bike daily for shopping and dining but it is just too dangerous. 3)No more highway lanes. Oceanside more legal MTB single track Upgrade and maintain capacity for people to get to work. If we can't get to work, we don't Oceanside have jobs or pay taxes. The employment centers are so dispersed that mass transit serves only a small fraction of potential trips. Oceanside I think children should learn knowledge as they want to see our belief next w/o jealousy. I want the greenbelt and trails described in the San Diego River Park master plan to be Poway implemented. As part of that effort, any stadium project should include a generous allocation of open space and developed parkland at the current site of Qualcomm stadium. Widen freeways with lanes that ALL DRIVERS CAN USE. No more bicycle or HOV Lanes, No buses and trolleys, or Trains To Nowhere. I HAVEN'T SEEN A PENNY SPENT ON ADDITIONAL FREEWAY LANES THAT EVERY DRIVER CAN USE FOR DECADES, yet they get the bill. NO MORE TOLL Poway ROADS! EVERY DRIVER PAYS FOR THE FREEWAYS, let them have wider freeways. None of us are leaving our cars! SANDAG is little more than an agenda-driven money vacuum countering the needs of SD County. Charles & Vinh Ross We need more bus service in North County. A route I would very much like serviced is quick bus rides along Highway 56 from Poway all the way to Torrey Pines Beach and on to beaches in Del Poway Mar and in La Jolla. The beaches attract so many visitors, they should be well-served with public transportation to ease the car traffic and parking issues in those communities. Build and repair city streets, highways and freeways. NO MORE HOV lanes. NO MORE trains, Poway bike path, high speed trains, trolleys, etc. NO MORE taxes for transportation, use the money you have more efficiently. Improve major interstates to reduce congestion and improve traffic flow during all major traffic times. This particularly applies to I 15 areas from 8 to 78, as completed projects have not Poway adequately done the job. Also applies to I 5, 78, I 8 and 56, all of which have major bottlenecks, and have not been adequately designed to accommodate existing traffic, not to mention the future challenges of traffic. Won't be solved with transit services.

93 Place of Comments Residence HOV lanes and public transportation options to get from inland north county to the high tech Poway business center in Sorrento Valley/La Jolla. Huge increase in home bldg along I-56 corridor means traffic increases daily Make San Diego more bike friendly with safe ways to commute on bike separate from high car Poway traffic roads. Poway Build a reservoir in every slot canyon we have. Capture all the rain we get!! widen interstate 15 southbound from the SR163 split to I8. This should be fairly easy as the median is open and the project will have a good benefit to cost ratio. Another idea to install Poway intelligence into the stoplights at major surface street intersections so lights can be synchronized across a community. The algorithms should be made to be easily changeable to optimize traffic flow based on the actual traffic load at a given point in time. We need to make San Diego beautiful! We can do it by getting people and organizations to plant 500,000 Bougainvillea plants...SANDAG NEEDS TO MARK THE LOCATIONS FOR PLANTING Poway AND SET THE OVERALL PLANT LAYOUTS. For a small amount of money we can make San Diego colorful and interesting and world famous for beauty. #1 reduce drivers speed to no greater than 10 over speed limit, and following distance 1 car Poway length per 10 miles of speed not the current 6 inches most commonly employed We need better control for storm water runoff. The fact our beaches are unusable after a Poway rainstorm is a travesty. Better bike routes would help both recreational and commuting opportunities. We're also see that improve commercial districts. promote bike/hike trails work w orgs such as rails to trails connect existing trails to network . Example is 56 trail which just stops in a swamp at I-5-- connect it to the coast. Poway collect runoff into drywells to replenish groundwater rather than pollute ocean add 3rd lane to 56. fix ted Williams onramp bottleneck at I-15 avoid costly carpool projects like I-15 HOV w overpasses and separate lanes. just add more lanes to existing and restrict rush-hour access, see bay area traffic policies All new roads and major upgrades should require the development of an adjoining bike path Poway like Route 56. A major opportunity was missed when that was not done with the I-15 upgrade Poway Fix the crumbling roads. Dedicated bike/pedestrian walk way across Coronado Bay Bridge. This could be as popular as Poway Sydney's walk across their bridge! A true water recycling project. The technology is there; we just need to commit to it and commit Poway to a public outreach campaign to change opinions. Poway Replace utility lines w/ underground services in fire risk areas. Poway Trolley rail up the I-15 corridor to provide easy access to Mission Valley & downtown. Public transit east/west- bus service would be fine- in mid county. e.g. running along 56. Route 56 BADLY needs a 3rd lane in each direction. rush hour is already bad in this corridor and there Poway is still a lot of building of reasonably high density homes. A bus along this route with stops from the transit station at I15 through I5 and ideally all the way to the science park area of Torrey Pines past the med center down to UTC would carry a lot of commuters and shoppers. I know it is no longer politically correct, but I would like to see new reservoirs constructed and projects to collect storm water runoff & direct it into Lake Hodges and existing reservoirs. One Poway of the important reasons we are always being told there is a water shortage is because no one makes any effort in the areas mentioned in the first sentence of this note. Instead we are told we have no choice but to rely on Colorado River Water and water from the Delta. The most important project for our cities and counties is the repair of infrastructure and care of the environment. The least is to spend money on a football stadium. SANDAG can help Poway considerably in encouraging cities/counties to spend their dollars where it is needed most for the safety and welfare of its residents and the environment. Poway Trolley line up I15 corridor to Sabre Springs Transit Center

94 Place of Comments Residence Poway Capturing storm water runoff. De-salinization plants to produce drinking water. The trolleys are longer than a city block so when they are stopped at a traffic light on "C" the trolley cars block the intersection of the block behind them. MTS buses stopping in a lane, but not close enough to the curb so the bus blocks the entire lane, causing cars to get stuck. They Poway also stop MTS buses at intersections and cars behind think they are waiting for the pedestrian crossing to be clear when the bus is actually stopped for some reason (and up to 10 minutes at a time). I would like to see a program to license bicycles and tax them to pay for their bike lanes, Poway especially when I have to give up a roadway that is supported by my vehicle license fees and gasoline taxes for the use of a bicyclist that impedes the orderly flow of traffic. Poway Build a new stadium!!!!! The traffic impact on 56 can be improved by a trolley connecting the I-15 and I-5 (Sorrento Valley), with "park and ride" at the points of feeding to the trolley. At both ends of this route Poway have buses station so people working at key places like UCSD, QUALCOMM, green hospital, etc. can move easily and does not have the need to drive. Poway Trolley or rail services more integrated between I15 corridor to UCSD/Downtown Poway Would love to have the trolley come to Poway directly to the airport!!! I would like to see you accelerate the regional plan and I would like the local governments work Poway off the deferred maintenance on all of the infrastructure. The next step in highways should be Express lanes along highway 78 beginning in Escondido and going west to Oceanside. That plan should include a connector ramp from the I-15 Poway Expressway north to the 78 Expressway west and 78 Expressway east to the I-15 Expressway south. Supporting MSCP objectives to create habitat corridors and open space. More access to trolley Poway system by connecting more areas in region. Safe bikeways and sidewalks. It would be great to have light rail service that runs anywhere near Poway. There is no rail or Poway trolley service anywhere near North County Inland. Only spend the taxpayer's money on highway and local road maintenance and improvements. Poway Upgrade Hwy 56 to 3 lanes for the full length between 15 and 5. Poway Increased access to public transit; more frequent service over a much wider area. Connect the Trolley from UTC at Genesee/Nobel to Sharp Medical at Genesee and 163 FWY. Poway Connect the Trolley from Genesee/Nobel to Miramar Road and 163 freeway. Replace Sidewalks. Build Trees. Help people meet each other face to face and get around. Let's start moving to future technologies! Please take a look into replacing asphalt (starting with driveways and parking lots, then roadways and highways) with solar roadway panels Poway http://www.solarroadways.com/ this would solve a number of issues and pay for itself in a short amount of time. This solution will modernize the infrastructure with modular, intelligent panels, while producing clean renewable energy for homes and businesses. 1.With rainy weather, potholes are appearing in large numbers. SANDAG needs to maintain adequately funded program to repair roadways and minimize potholes and repair them before they get too large and cause car damage. 2. Continue to ensure use of HOV lanes on highways Poway by non-HOV qualified drivers when accidents/ major traffic issues stall other lanes, but HOV lanes are open. Interstate 15 does this. Amber alert signs can provide message that HOV temporarily open to all drivers. Bus, train/trolley system that works without taking 90 minutes to travel 20 miles due to transfers /lack of connections to bring people to work that is not only downtown. Must be affordable. Constantly building new condo's/apartments/business developments we can't afford when older Poway ones are available / just need rehab. Bike/walking paths that connect to each other all over San Diego County not just city. Need to take care of the homeless / get them off the streets and beach's . timely road repair. freeways and surface streets need to be better maintained. too many pot Poway holes. Poway, where I live does a good job, but in the city of San Diego roads are in poor repair.

95 Place of Comments Residence Poway We need to save and enact more safe open space for equestrian trails, and equestrian activity. I think it would be great to have more bike paths that go directly to downtown San Diego. I work in Coronado and commute everyday via the express bus but the biking portion feels so Poway unsafe with cars running fast and cutting into helpless cyclist. Something similar to the path next to fwy 56 please. We need mass transit to be convenient. We may need more parking lots near bus, train and trolley lines for easier access to mass transit. Include parking And transit access at freeway Poway entrances to San Diego so visitors can park then use transit during their visit. Need more Uber, taxis, etc. for individuals and groups to get to entertainment safely. This would decrease drunk/impaired driving too. Poway North County Inland needs to be included in transit planning.

Poway Create good shoulders along existing roads, like the 78, to make them safer for bicycles. Active transport includes horses! Integrate Cty trails & pathways plan into planning. Habitat in MSCP areas should have many trails. Our SD trails r overused, due to limited amount of trails avail in open space & MSCP area. Connecting these areas with the trans Cty trail, SD Riverpark & Poway Dieguito River Park helps access & reduces congestion @ trail heads. Were nearly 1000 people @ Mt. Woodson & Iron MT trail heads a couple weeks ago. Hard to enjoy nature when your trail is a line of people! Poway Mountain biking trails and dog parks, filling potholes More mountain bike/hiking specific trails throughout the open space areas. These could be used Poway for commuting as well as recreation. San Diego Light rail down middle of freeways San Diego We need a Coaster/Sprinter like mass transit on an inland corridor, such as I-15 We need more bike projects - especially ones focusing on safety (i.e., protected bike lanes) and connectivity (Let's make an actual bike network!). Similarly, we need to enhance our transit system. People need to get to more places and faster on transit. Transit oriented development San Diego (TOD) is needed. And not just strategies or policies; we need TOD in action! Let's create walkable communities where it’s only a short trip to work, restaurants, shopping, recreation, and medical facilities. San Diego Expand trolley to more areas, balboa park, beaches

Upgrade Seaport Village, but don't change it. It is a great tourist attraction as it is and it would be a shame to change it into something else just to make more revenue for the city. Locals also San Diego use the Village all the time and we love to be able take friends and visitors there to eat and enjoy the various shops. Sometimes change is not a good thing. Biggest focus should be to highlight the city's brightest attractions, namely the areas surrounding and including Balboa Park, like Golden Hill, South Park, and the city, which seem to San Diego have high density of night life and arts. I think a lot of infrastructure exists around here but not enough buzz about alternative, public ways to get there. The routes that service nightlife areas should run very late as well. San Diego BRT the Stroads network. Only viable way to go. More mass transit, less highway construction. Stop putting transit in the “someday when we've San Diego paved every last acre in the county” category. Replace some large buses with smaller circulatory rail link shuttles in dense, older San Diego neighborhoods; areas like Ocean Beach, Hillcrest, Logan Heights, etc. The scale of transit ought to match the neighborhood character. A region-wide bicycle network is badly needed, especially if San Diego is to make any San Diego meaningful progress toward climate action goals.

96 Place of Comments Residence Safe modifications to University Avenue to protect vulnerable road users from the tyranny of the majority. Read Madison's Federalist No.10 to see how important the Founding Fathers San Diego thought this concept is. Consider the needs of the people before knuckling under to the economic corruption of paid lobbyists. Local and regional transit should be priority, along with active transportation. Absolutely no San Diego new road capacity should be considered. Priorities: City should tackle homeless issues by creating housing for them. I'd like to see some attention given to affordable housing/density, or figuring out how some corridors could be San Diego developed over the 30' height limit. Areas like Sports Arena, and Midway are screaming for density but the 30' height limit is really a big constraint that should be revisited. These areas would clearly help any transit options by orienting around transit stops. We need dedicated, protected bike lanes throughout San Diego - enabling bicyclists to get anywhere in the city in a guaranteed safe manner, without being subject to getting hit by a car San Diego in the event that a driver is not paying attention or fails to see a bicyclist When this long- overdue basic necessity is finally made a reality, bicycle use will start to greatly increase, with corresponding reductions in vehicle traffic and increased quality of life for everyone Put a stop sign/light at intersection of Florida Ave and Zoo Place. Florida bisects Balboa Park with 50mph traffic, with no safe place for pedestrians to cross between the naval hospital and Morley Field Ave (more than 1 mile). There are trailheads on both sides of Florida at intersection San Diego of Florida and Zoo Place. Sharrows on the Laurel Street Bridge would also help-with oncoming traffic, the bridge is too narrow for vehicles to pass with the required 3-feet clearance. More bike lanes/sharrows! Expansion of the Trolley network to actually make an impactful change for San Diegans. Expansion without fear of tunneling, building skyways and using eminent domain. Grade San Diego separation is nice for everyone. Also, let's not forget us folks in the northern neighborhoods like Rancho Bernardo and Mira Mesa. Having a legitimate second option for commuting would be a serious quality of life bonus. Well worth the meager tax increase SANDAG's asking for. 1)Purple line trolley. 2) Bicycle lanes on university Avenue in Hillcrest San Diego 3) Bicycle lanes downtown San Diego 4) Implementation of entire city of San Diego bicycle plan We need more frequent bus service, especially on weekends. In order for people to get to work San Diego or get around San Diego, bus service is needed to get to the Trolley service, which seems to be the focus of all the MTS. San Diego No more freeways, only transit and active transportation.

prioritize transit projects to take place earlier than in the current regional plan. fund safe routes San Diego to transit for current transit stations. Turn the area in and around Balboa Park into a World Class bike commute highway. If San Diego Minneapolis can do it , we can. Trolley is a good step, mass transit is needed on 15, 163, 805 to reduce cars. Connect vans with south UC & N. UC. Cannot take train; no place to park for several days at train stations. Look at San Diego cities like D.C. those outside the city can take train to work & parking is available at the suburb station. Put on special event buses for direct connect to Del Mar Fair in June. Coordinate MTS and N. county bus systems. More of us would use transit if it were available & convenient. I'd like to see SANDAG make a greater effort toward encouraging communities to build transit- San Diego oriented developments, including funding to help rewrite community planning documents. This is critical for addressing climate change issues. Plan Bay Area is an example of such a program.

San Diego I'd like to see a comprehensive network of bike lanes around Urban San Diego.

97 Place of Comments Residence Respect of the original projects promised in the 1988 & 2003 ballot measures is paramount. SANDAG made a covenant with taxpayers. A nearly 30 year brand of trust. Any inclination to break that covenant would not be received well. I believe that something should be done to San Diego abate the awful effects of climate change. It is real. However, those to advocate for action locally have fallen prey to narcissistic & selfish means, which is a tragic irony of such a progressive ethos.

San Diego Buffered bike lanes, dedicated bus lane on El Cajon.

dedicated bus lanes throughout uptown San Diego faster construction of blue line trolley SANDAG needs to prioritize mass transit and local transportation projects. The region cannot build its way to a more sustainable future if it relies on highway expansions and toll lanes for paying single occupancy vehicles. The region has paltry transit options. We can do more and do San Diego better. SANDAG also needs to promote more bike and pedestrian friendly policies, and not abandon necessary projects in already established urban neighborhoods (like Uptown) when the politics get heated. A trolley to Balboa Park/Zoo. Closing Florida Drive to thru-traffic. Closing the Laurel Street bridge to vehicles on weekends (via removable bollards). Protected bike lanes in North Park and San Diego Mid-City, especially the Landis St./Robinson St. corridor, with traffic calming measures at the Florida St. and 30th St. intersections. Protected bike lanes on Pershing. Light Rail or Rapid Bus connecting Downtown to North Park via Pershing.

San Diego Protected fully separated bike paths along all freeways & major roads

San Diego We need more protective bike lanes and more trolley lines that go to our neighborhoods.

Building the Regents Road Bridge over Rose Canyon thereby connecting both sides of Regents San Diego Road and providing a second surface street connecting North and South University City. This would provide for bikes, pedestrians, & disabled. San Diego I-805 trolley line Completion of the connection between Regents Road North and Regents Road South in the University City neighborhood of San Diego. This link has been promised, and already funded, for San Diego almost 50 years, and is more vitally important than ever to alleviate the greatly increased traffic in University City and the UTC area. $50 million for small business incubators; $10m each: 1) wholesale food businesses using local food 2) manufacturing businesses 3) businesses offering half-time jobs for unskilled residents San Diego 4) businesses building & installing clever pre-fab housing 5) fashion businesses using local designers/seamstresses under one roof to make high-end clothing. [NOTE: All jobs must be at living-wage, pay min. $15/hour with employer contribution for health insurance] Less freeways. It’s rather annoying that I have to use my car to get EVERYWHERE outside of UTC/UCSD. A decent transit system linking northern SD to downtown would be practical. LA and San Diego SF are doing it, and doing it way better than SD. Of course, those cities also realize that SB 375 wasn't setting what you refer to as "comparison points". -disgruntled UCSD student

San Diego More dedicated bike lanes as well as better pedestrian-improvements.

San Diego more bike lanes

San Diego More routes for buses and more buses on weekends.

98 Place of Comments Residence Create new airport, move SAN out of downtown. Sell existing airport land to developers with condition that they can begin building once SAN finds a new home to relocate and a master plan for the area is created. With billions paid in advance for prime waterfront land, SAN will San Diego have ample resources to find an optimal place to relocate and expand. SD will be able to double the size of downtown and allow for dense tall development in uptown were is height is restricted due to the flight path. the completion of the Regents Road north of Governor Drive and through to Genesee, including San Diego the construction of the bridge over Rose Canyon, is absolutely vital to the traffic flow in our community. San Diego Fix the horrible crowding on the 805 and on Mira Mesa Boulevard

Dedicated bike connections through Pacific Beach to allow families and children bike/walk safely San Diego in an area that is conducive to the activity (flat, beach connections)

The most critical project is connecting Regents Road over Rose Canyon. It is imperative to improve emergency response times, improve traffic on Genesee Ave, the 5 Freeway & 805 San Diego Freeway. By completing this north south thoroughfare it will allow cars to gain access to the 52 freeway and access the 5 and 805 with transitions designed for the high traffic flow rather than funneling vehicles on at La Jolla Village Drive and Nobel Dive on/off ramps. fully connected class one bike paths. university Avenue needs to be complete 10th Avenue San Diego westward, Robinson should not be used at all - all funds from Robinson dedicated to university Avenue. Subsidize EV charging or find alternative solutions to make electricity costs less expensive such as creating regional CCAs. The current rates for electricity at $0.17 per kWh disincentives the use San Diego of PEV's. The current state of the market makes it cheaper to fuel my Prius plug-in with gasoline than it is to charge it. Major transit line along 805 corridor to Sorrento Valley, preferably rail. Current lines on 805 only San Diego go as far north as UTC/Miramar, requiring transfers to reach SV despite it being a major employment center. San Diego More forms of public transportation. San Diego needs a complete transportation system that includes alternative modes of transportation. Freeway expansions should be tabled in favor of plans like the Uptown Bicycle San Diego project and the Blue Line Extension. Priority should also be given to dedicated Rapid Transit lanes. Whether you take transit, ride a bike, or drive on the highway, one common area that needs San Diego extreme improvement for all modes of transportation, is local streets and roads. More transit that clearly connects low income residents to job centers in an efficient and reliable San Diego manner. Southeastern San Diego to Sorrento Valley for example. A Rapid that takes them to jobs. San Diego I would like to see better transit connectivity and active transportation in San Diego.

The number 1 priority should be to address commute time congestion. Programs should be focused on relieving the regional reliance on automobiles during rush hours. This might include San Diego frequent rapid transit buses with lane priority or dedicated lanes for predictable and short travel times. Bus stops should be located so that final destinations can easily be reached by walking, biking, or kick-scooter (including electric bikes and scooters). Better citizen notification of pending projects, poles that are designed to get real input, more public meetings broadcast on TV and web, and ability to obtain copies of meeting minutes. And, San Diego telling our city leaders, we don’t need overpriced, primarily single user stadiums that cost us monies that could be better used to fix our infrastructure. Additional protected bike lanes would be very beneficial to the community by minimizing San Diego danger of car/bike accidents, providing opportunity to improve health, and reducing vehicular traffic.

99 Place of Comments Residence Please, for God's sake, produce a single complete east-west bikeway through Uptown that San Diego doesn't involve sharrows on high-speed arteries. Don't let business interests take priority over people! Improve the homeless issue downtown. That's your number one priority. They need help and San Diego having homeless shows that we don't care for one another and it makes the city look bad. I would like to see any new sales tax revenue applied to high impact transit and highway projects specifically supporting smart growth and reducing commute times, that otherwise are not expected to be funded for many years. For example, projects such as the accelerated San Diego expansion of SR 56, new trolley lines and completion of all phases of the SR 163/Friars Road interchange would take priority over "mega regional" projects, such as managed lanes for I-5. San Diego A better Transit network that is fast and low cost.

San Diego More focus on transit and pedestrian/biking earlier on in the plan, please, less on highways! Improve pedestrian experiences by creating wider sidewalks in commercial areas in the City of San Diego San Diego. San Diego Cross jurisdictional water quality program to satisfy the requirements of the MS4 permit.

San Diego A direct transit connection from Mission Valley to Balboa park and downtown. Thank you for the opportunity to offer input. Improving bicycle and pedestrian networks in the central city offers the biggest return on investment of public tax dollars to improve quality of San Diego life. Further development of highways encourages mindless sprawl and offers only short-term relief to congestion. San Diego Safe bicycle routes throughout the County!

San Diego Build the Regents Road Bridge. bio-swales to keep water on land, not flowing to the sea. pesticide-free native habitat for pollinators who provide our food. San Diego separate bike lanes so more people will ride their bike. replace all dead trees with low water fruit trees, fig, pomegranate, jujube, mulberry, desert peach. We moved to THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE in 1975 and were assured there would be a bridge across Rose Canyon to connect UC South to the quickly mushrooming UC North which would facilitate San Diego the increasing traffic load. 40 - FORTY - years later there is still no bridge! UC North is huge and Genesee is a traffic nightmare. How about that bridge? We have invested far too much money in highways already and far too little on the other needs San Diego on your list. Please let this TransNet be the start of correcting this investment imbalance. If we do, development patterns will change and reduce our dependence on highways. We have invested far too much money in highways already and far too little on the other needs San Diego on your list. Please let this TransNet be the start of correcting this investment imbalance. If we do, development patterns will change and reduce our dependence on highways.

San Diego Improved transit to/from neighborhoods like Mira Mesa and Poway.

San Diego East - west bus along the 56!! A. Any ballot measure should fund advancing transit faster than the recently adopted 2015 Regional Plan. B. Any ballot measure should have funds for active transportation, including bicycling and safe San Diego infrastructure. C. Any ballot measure should help fund affordable housing near transit, which has been shown to reduce greenhouse gasses.

100 Place of Comments Residence I'd like to see better connectivity between our population centers and business and tourist San Diego districts via light rail or cable car. The I-5 corridor needs improvements like the I-15 received. Adding trolley service north is also San Diego important.

San Diego More ev charger at all park and ride lots ,

Please build regular freeway lanes and stop dedicating all highway funds to carpool lanes that San Diego barely get used.

San Diego The Purple Line!!!

San Diego More BRT lines. Mass transit down 15, 5 and 8. NOT tired last century buses that take longer than cars for the trip. More like the quickways that makes mass transit fast and doable. Also no more trolley lines. San Diego Cute but slow so people don't take them. We are at the point where highways are no longer the focus, and mass transit is. Battle with Sacramento to reduce our water costs by allowing us to use water WE HAVE! San Diego Fix the damn potholes! More trolley lines. Also extend the coaster down to the San Ysidro border for a much quicker San Diego trip to downtown, and a one seat connection up the coast. San Diego I use a wheelchair. Getting to and from a bus stop is impossible where I live: Point Loma Heights

San Diego Build more light rail and get the city to build affordable housing along transit lines. Would love to see the Carmel Valley Bike path extended on its western end so that it hooks up San Diego with the 101 (or at least has a much smoother link up to Carmel Valley Road west of the 5.) MTS: revise compass card system to allow for "virtual money", see NPR story on 1/15/16. Extend walking/biking network along river beds etc. I'd like to see separated trails, like a dirt trail for walking and a paved trail for biking so pedestrians (and their dogs) don't get in the way San Diego of bicycles. Improve the taste of the tap water. Not to be harsh but it tastes absolutely disgusting resulting in the need to purchase bottled water. San Diego Florida canyon lake project. 1. fix the roads, broken pipes and general maintenance past due in our city 2. keep the water clean and sufficient for all residents: increase rates for those using too much San Diego water, educate the public about efficient water use, continue w/ drought tolerant landscaping incentives 3. manage habitat areas so that wildlife can flourish and residents can enjoy the environment Under city projects: I support fixing and paving the City of San Diego's run-down streets, but not water quality, open space or beach sand projects. San Diego Under active transportation: I support the painting of more crosswalks and the building -- or widening -- of sidewalks where none exist ... i.e., things that enhance the pedestrian experience, not just pedestrian safety, as important as that is. Transit options in the central city area (North Park area) such as light rail and re-fillable card- based bus passes are essential for increasing transit ridership. I also think it is important to San Diego recognize the role transportation and land use plays in air deposition, storm water runoff, and other water quality issues. I would support a ballot measure that prioritizes transit infrastructure and water quality projects. I'd like to see crosswalks placed on Crown Point Drive exiting the parking lot near the bay where the parking lot ramp intersects with Crown Point Drive. A cross walk would be ideal stretching San Diego from the park exit to Moorland Drive, and then another one from Moorland Drive across Ingraham St., thus making one large circular loop around the bay that conveniently intersects with domestic neighborhoods where residents begin and end their biking and walking.

101 Place of Comments Residence I appreciate the improvements to the rapid transit (like the 215 bus & smart stops), but it would be nice to have more frequent & more reliable public transportation. Right now, when I San Diego commute to work at UCSD, I have a 3-hour commute (1.5 hrs. each way). I WANT to be one less car on the road, but the system is not efficient. San Diego Repair of surface roads needs to be addressed. Planning for habitat corridors and over/underpasses are necessary in maintaining and improving vital habitat connectivity for wildlife. The time is NOW for key components of our delicate local San Diego ecosystem (including top predators and native habitats) to be of the upmost priority. Please, we need to buy, preserve, and connect wild lands + mandate that wildlife's best interest be a component of future development I live in 92101. The trolley/Amtrak needs to expand north. The traffic on I-5 north during commute times has increased significantly in 3 years. It takes me 45 minutes to get off at the San Diego Genesee exit (12 miles). With all of the commercial construction on I 5 this will only get worse. Focus needs to be on mass transit rather than widening of freeways. More ecofriendly. Trolley service or a tram to Balboa park too. Please run a trolley from the new trolley station at UTC to Qualcomm in Sorrento Valley, then east through Mira Mesa to the new Miramar College Transit Station behind Home Depot. This San Diego would give Qualcomm and Sorrento Valley a direct rail link in place of the circulator buses to the Sorrento Valley station. Maybe Qualcomm would be willing to help pay for it in exchange for naming rights. It would be great to have a FREE rail day ...like Sundays might be free for the trolley and San Diego 1/2price for buses... Complete historic trolley line between downtown via Park Boulevard for Balboa Park, then to San Diego University Ave. to 30th. An express bus/trolley from University & 30th to downtown via Pershing Drive with limited San Diego stops. Right now the #2 bus takes way too long in comparison to driving (~35 to 45 minutes). A bus that cuts through Balboa Park would speed up the trip considerably. We live in Normal Heights along the 805 north. Our neighbors and we would like a noise abatement study done in our neighborhood. The sound walls built in Kensington would benefit San Diego our neighborhood too! We have 2 2 story buildings on our block and I believe that requires noise abatement per the city codes. Please, please help our beautiful urban neighborhood stay quiet and safe as the traffic on the 805 increases!! Expand I-5, Highway 78 and other freeways to accommodate automobile traffic. At the same San Diego time, set aside open space and habitat areas, complete the San Diego River project and protect our beaches and water quality. A trolley that went from central areas (i.e., downtown, North Park, Mission Valley) to areas where the tech businesses are (Mira Mesa) could be huge for reducing congestion on the 805 & 15 freeways. Also I know that people like myself that live in North Park/South Park would gladly San Diego bike to downtown, Hillcrest and Mission Hills if there were safer bike lanes. People in these areas love to bike & are environmentally conscious. It could do a ton to reduce congestion and need for parking. Any ballot measure should: 1) fund advancing transit faster than the recently adopted 2015 Regional Plan; 2) have funds for active transportation, including bicycling and safe San Diego infrastructure; 3) help fund affordable housing near transit, which has been shown to reduce greenhouse gasses. San Diego needs to move forward now to implement improved transit (i.e., streetcars) in the San Diego urban core. These projects should begin project development now--with LPA adoption, environmental clearance, followed immediately by design and construction. I would love to see generally denser mixed-use residential/commercial development both downtown and in the uptown areas south of the I-8, and providing the adequate public San Diego transportation infrastructure. This would make these places more vibrant, walk-able, and safer, while expanding the tax base and making San Diego a place that attracts world-class talent and people.

102 Place of Comments Residence 1. Bus from Santa Fe Depot or Old Town DIRECTLY to AIRPORT. 2. The Rapid Bus SDSU to downtown lacks the promised special lane, should begin at La Mesa city limit-73rd & El Cajon San Diego 3. Coordinate between Coaster & METROLINK so schedules mesh better. AMTRAK too $. The only way to avoid my many car trips to Rancho Cucamonga is via Coaster, Orange Metrolink, Rancho Bernardino Metrolink. Should be able to buy COASTER & METROLINK tickets online. I would love to see a vast network of Amsterdam-style separated bike lanes instead of so much San Diego parking and multiple lane local roads. Everything's just SO car-centric. San Diego I support the Quickway Proposal http://www.quickwayproposal.wix.com/proposal Expand the Jewish GoRide Service to downtown and mid-city senior residences if not for all day, San Diego for evenings and weekends. If this is a duplicate, my regrets. San Diego Let's focus on public transport and less on highways.

Restrict car access in the downtown area or create one street (e.g. Fifth St) that is pedestrian San Diego access only. Increase/improve access for walkers & bicyclists. Walking and biking with car traffic has become more dangerous. Sidewalk improvements to encourage walking. I do 3-4 miles per day and often resort to San Diego walking in the street. Sidewalks are often in poor conditions and homeowners also allow vegetation to encroach on the sidewalk.

San Diego I would like to see the streetcars restored in the mid-city and uptown areas.

We should have a better bike system. Our weather is perfect but any serious commuting by bike is dangerous. Places like Ottawa have a bike system like a freeway system. IT is easy for people San Diego to choose to bike or walk to work. This would eliminate having to build more highways or worry about transit. Places that have put more money into a bike/walk system have found added advantages to health, safe family recreation etc. I am opposed to public transportation. It is a huge waste of public tax funds. The funds are San Diego better used to develop and maintain new and existing public roads and highways. Highways and streets for cars, trucks and buses. Do not take lanes or parking spaces and make them into bike lanes or bike parking. Make bike San Diego riders obey stop signs and red lights. Bikes should use side streets, not the busiest streets they can find. Projects to manage storm water so we can avoid flooding during heavy rain years. Projects to store water for dry/drought years. Beach sand replenishment is important for keeping tourists San Diego coming (and their vacation dollars!). Keeping the wild environment low on combustible fuel is very important for fire prevention.

San Diego trolley to airport

I'm interested in making our neighborhoods more walkable. That is, ensuring that there are San Diego sidewalks and safe crosswalks at major intersections. For instance, there is no sidewalk on Canon Boulevard between Point Loma Ave and Talbot St. in Point Loma. I support any local transportation projects EXCEPT any more of the bike lanes that you keep insisting on creating at the expense of existing car lanes, i.e., Hillcrest and Clairemont, and now San Diego the proposed closure of two lanes on University between College and 70th. These bike lanes are getting very little use and are not improving traffic at all. Synchronizing our traffic lights is a must. The congestion at our busy intersections is deplorable. Motorists sit through two and sometimes three light changes before they can advance through San Diego an intersection. Some of the intersections are near freeway on/off ramps. It is imperative that the City of San Diego work with Caltrans to resolve the congestion issue. Traffic on our streets increases with each passing year. It is imperative that this issue be addressed in a timely manner. San Diego Repair roads, repave. San Diego I would like to see a dog park in the Chollas Lake area.

103 Place of Comments Residence City streets, especially in the Mission Valley /163 area are in dire need of attention with all the San Diego new residential and commercial building. The high speed rail system must be finished including a path to San Diego. There should be a train station at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. The county fair, two racing seasons and many other events make this an important project. San Diego Highway projects to ease congestion must be evaluated. One candidate is to close the on ramp to I8 West from Texas Street or closing the exit to Mission Center road. Widening highways is a waste of money.

Bike lanes should be abolished unless the police departments start enforcing the laws and giving San Diego tickets to bicyclists who blow through stop signs etc.

San Diego Quality senior centers in every community. I believe that water purification is of major importance here. We have all the water we can use right here we just need to desalinate it. I understand that what was supposed to come to San San Diego Diego went to Guantanamo. Why can't the federal government replace it when it is so vital to San Diego a major military town that can use it to keep water rationing and price down. More frequent and ubiquitous transit along with an education plan. Even if there is a San Diego convenient bus going from their house to their office, most people would be unaware of it. Drainage control Sandbags from SANDAG San Diego Pothole control DESAL plant(El Nino won't last) Making biking from Hillcrest to North Park easier and safer on Robinson. Robinson is great to San Diego cycle along until Florida because Robinson does not go all the way through to North Park. Having to cut over to University is not ideal. More protected Bicycle paths. Installing sidewalks in neighborhoods that don't have them. Installing stop signs on West Point Loma Boulevard, at the Famosa Boulevard and West Point San Diego Loma Boulevard intersection. More buffered ( barrier between motor traffic and bike traffic) Bicycle lanes. Can you guys get MTS to adopt easier ways to pay for fares? Push the smartphone app please. San Diego And if there was a rail system along the 805 as an alternative to taking the 805 someday I would appreciate that. reduce noise for homes next to freeways, i.e., walls etc. air quality is bad during hot season your San Diego tourist trolley is awful. Not reliable for work does not go to enough places Love the idea of more bike lanes, less cars. Better trolley access to more places. Encouragement San Diego to leave the car at home and walk bike, bus to places. Add east-west public transit from Rancho Bernardo/Carmel Mountain to Del Mar/Torrey Pines, along 56 or Carmel Valley Road/Del Mar Heights - commuter options and local route. Facilitate integration in this area between MTS and NCTD routes. Add shuttle from Del Mar Heights to San Diego Solana Beach train station along Camino Del Mar connecting Del Mar Heights business park and Cathedral HS/Torrey Pines HS Invest in regional water supply projects like Advanced Water Purification, also connected to wastewater. Use a hub and spoke system (a la airlines) for transit with more express buses and better weekend service. Renumber bus routes using the customary south- and east-bound odd and San Diego north- and west-bound even. Assign the 120 terminating at Fashion Valley a different number from the 120 going on to Kearney Mesa. San Diego More rail transit via light rail, streetcars & purpose built access to airport San Diego SANDAG you are illegal there was no vote for you to get 1/4% sales tax

San Diego Trolley connecting liberty station, mid-city, and Clairemont

104 Place of Comments Residence Transit is nice, but outside of commuter corridors will always need subsidies. Working on the San Diego airport and stadium questions are important, but I'd like to see infrastructure improvements to emergency services and communication in the back country. I support managing the habitat, not by clearing areas of shrinking native plant habitat which San Diego we often do in the guise of protection from the rest of wildfires, but by preventing people from building in areas where homes are not defensible and where access routes are limited. To alleviate current and projected transportation issues in the University City community, as well San Diego as providing improved fire/police accessibility, the construction of Regents Road Bridge should be included in future bond issue projects. To see the trolley go to more places. To know you could get on the trolley and be in an area and San Diego if do not want to use the bus. There a bike share in that area to get to more areas. The bike share should be tied into the monthly passes or the daily passes. LA is doing this. I am concerned about the quality of street repair, My street was resurfaced four years ago and within two years cracks started showing up. Now there are cracks every few yards. Big cracks, San Diego most at least an inch or more wide. It's been that way for well over a year. Low bidding Contractor I guess. San Diego Do not raise our taxes, we pay enough. I'd like projects that manage storm water runoff & reclaim water for irrigation. Better use of lakes, streams, the SD river, & catch basins can accumulate & control runoff. Projects could be San Diego combined with habitat conservation projects to reduce wildfires, improve water quality, plant ocean friendly gardens & drought tolerant plants. Existing open space could be used for some projects. I'd also like a significant improvement in the street pothole situation. planting more native plants along freeways, to save water, integrate with the natural areas. and they are more beautiful... San Diego Also, I oppose highway expansions into undeveloped areas, you accommodate the needs of a few, who require infrastructure that helps only them and that encourages developers to cram in more people in our the back country, plus there is the cost of extending fire protection, etc. San Diego Connecting a pathway for the native animals to migrate through. 1. Have city inspectors follow up after any street surfaces are dug up for any reason and patched by contractors. San Diego 2. Underground all existing overhead lines. 3. Start piping reclaimed water for industry, irrigation and toilet flushing separate from drinking water. I would like to see better maintenance of existing infrastructure. India and Sassafras Streets are very dirty and the landscape is overgrown or dead. It would be nice to better maintenance of San Diego the roads. Recently there were a number of bike lanes set up, which are rarely used. More people walk or drive the streets and would appreciate a clean well maintained City. Thank you Improvements is the public transportation system, so that a destination can be reached in the San Diego city from the South Bay without leaving extremely early. I would like to see extended trolley or mass transit service of some type extended up the I-15 corridor. The trolley would stop near transit centers so that people could board and would drop San Diego off at various transit centers along the way down I-15 and eventually meet up with other lines that go downtown. - Cycle tracks and separated bike lanes in central San Diego. - We need a *serious* transit network that will get people to work and school on time, in a reasonable amount of time. San Diego - Light rail to airport. - Clean water for the tourists and residents. People come here for the beaches; let's make sure the water is swimmable and fishable. San Diego n/a I'd like to see San Diego look into employing a lane zipper up the 805, which is always San Diego completely jammed one way and completely empty the other way.

105 Place of Comments Residence Infrastructure maintenance/repair...replace old water mains and repair streets. Improve ways to San Diego keep and store storm water run-off. The Clairemont streets are so full of potholes that need repairing not just temporary patches San Diego that become potholes with the next rain. More frequent bus service on weekends and early evening. 30 minutes to an hour is an awful San Diego long time to wait for the next bus when a bus is missed by a minute or two. As a regular trolley rider, another trolley route would be nice to an area or areas that are currently not serviced. Create more programs to provide the county of San Diego with a reliable, renewable source of fresh water. Build a second desalinization plant either on Camp Pendleton or in the South Bay. San Diego Increase the use of recycled water for drinking water. Get ahead of the traffic gridlock problem by expanding freeway capacity by 2 or 3 lanes at a time, rather than the current one-lane-at-a- time program, which can't keep up with the county's rate of population increase. We do not need highway widening of Hwy 5!! What is needed is enforcement of traffic laws, San Diego e.g. driving in correct lane, speed laws and distracted driving. Although it is mentioned as part of "active transportation" above, I would like to stress that San Diego needs to have safe bikeways to encourage more use of cycling as transportation. It seems San Diego strange that cities with much worse winter weather have superior bike paths. We also need to ensure easy transit with a bike on trains, buses and trolley. When the San Diego - Coronado bridge is refurbished, a wide, safe bikeway protected from cars needs to be included. San Diego Please DO NOT widen I-5, which will only encourage overcrowding and postpone gridlock. San Diego streets are a mess and they cost us a fortune in front end repairs and the like. The City is transferring the cost to each of us rather than developing a plan and implementing it to San Diego deal with issues like the streets, water reuse, and Balboa Park infrastructure. We hear what can't be done. We need some leadership that shows us what can and will be done. Stop chasing the Chargers - fix stuff. Public transportation in the coastal north county and slightly inland is abysmal when everywhere one has to travel is by car. How can SD attract big business if public transportation San Diego via bus, trolley, train, subways/BART is just about non-existent? The city just voted for climate control - how is that feasible what with all the cars on the road. We have a growing senior population - it would be nice if there was more public transportation options. How about using smaller buses during non-rush hour times so motorists don't have to compete San Diego for space with the double buses that have only one or two people on them? 1.) Deemphasize highways to greatest extent possible with more resources into all alternatives. 2.) redesign our water runoff infrastructure to divert and return to water table San Diego 3.) continue to support solar expansion; encourage use of solar cells on flat roofed buildings plugged into grid, etc. 4.) encourage R & D in grey water filtering with goal of mandatory use on new construction. expand the trolley to Sorrento Mesa San Diego add better dedicated bike routes, also to Sorrento Mesa (hard to cross the freeways to get there) Start with transportation and streets. Short term: fix potholes and streets that are caving in. (Use money that will not be used to build a new stadium.) Long term: create and implement San Diego countywide, affordable, efficient public transportation. Get cars off the overcrowded streets and highways and get the public meet each other on buses and trolleys. Create a walkable, bikeable, public transit city of the future. And get rid of plastic bags. Convenient multi-weather way to move between home/work/office via transit and off freeway. How about computer driven modules? Transit will not be fully utilized without a resolution of San Diego this problem. The past history of low density zoning and the resistance of property owners to accept high density is greatly minimizing the value of mass transit. I would like to see a viable solution to the traffic issue in University City. I would like to see the San Diego Regents Bridge built. Genesee and the 805/I5 are not the answer.

106 Place of Comments Residence San Diego Improve overall ability to get around San Diego without a car Continue to provide, improve and maintain bike lanes throughout the city/county, including San Diego segregation from traffic wherever possible in order to improve the safety of cycling. The Regent's Road bridge was in the original plans for UC and now is desperately needed. It will be considerably worse when UTC finishes their remodel and more people go there to shop. This San Diego is the problem that most affects me. The problem that most worries me is sewage, contaminants and trash going into the ocean. Plastic bags have to go. Old, corroded pipes need to be replaced before they break, causing damage and costing even more money. San Diego Stop the focus on Chargers stadium and focus on improving city streets and transit services. Dealing in an honest, open, and long-term way with climate change and sustainability, San Diego including helping the region switch away from fossil fuels in all aspects as swiftly as possible. If you do nothing else, please fix our streets . Not the HOV's , not the bike lanes, just fix the San Diego roads we drive on.. Thank You... I don't know of any active project that's actually taking place in San Diego. But I would very much to see a way to relieve the congested traffic, build more public transportation, train, trolley or light rails. San Diego I hate to say for a big city, San Diego is the most behind in the world as far as public transportation goes. If we have a better transportation network, we can attract more visitors to visit San Diego. End the use of combination on-ramps/off-ramps on the highways and impose mandatory merging points. The concept of "zipper" merging is the most efficient type of on-ramp and San Diego both drivers are naturally compelled to do the right thing. Merging is easier and safer than today's required lane change style (especially in heavy traffic).This improves the flow of traffic. The contaminated runoff that pollutes our beaches constantly is a crime against man and nature. We need a focus on infrastructure to insure sewer leaks and spills don't happen, and San Diego storm drain runoff diversion projects are improved and extended. The beaches and bays are one of San Diego's most precious resources. I believe that a trolley line to service to Hillcrest/Uptown should be explored instead of low- density streetcars. The area has a population and commercial density that needs a faster, higher San Diego capacity, reliable service that only full-scale light rail can handle, especially if we want to get people out of their cars. I live in Oaks North, Rancho Bernardo. To get to Pomerado Road I have to take Paseo del Verano Norte. Have called regarding the cracks and potholes to no avail. Driving here is like an obstacle San Diego course. With millions of dollars being spent on the Chargers, wouldn't it be nice if the taxpayers for once could get something done for them. PLEASE, FIX the streets! Overall, improve roads, get the trolley up to North County. Think about some new roads to San Diego handle all the traffic. San Diego Trolley to the airport!! Make it more affordable for people to get out of their cars and onto a bike or a San Diego trolley/train/subway, and this place will be a much better one. Transit from downtown to the beach areas is necessary. Visitors to San Diego cannot get to the San Diego beaches directly without a car or expensive cab ride. Bus with transfer is too long, difficult and not enough times. I use door to door "MTS ACCESS" services and want to use to go to the Sorrento Valley train San Diego station from Scripps Ranch but am told that no service is available to that location. Please make it available. Would like to see tax money spent on roads that 80% of the citizens can actually drive their single occupant car on. Quit building HOV lanes, Bicycle paths(that restrict MANY city streets), San Diego and .other HIGH COST / LOW USAGE projects. Whatever new or increased taxes you put on the ballot will probably pass since some people are too dumb to remember what you spent the money on from the last increase. Some of us will REMEMBER.

107 Place of Comments Residence San Diego Protect our drinking water from contamination by terrorists. Establish a form of parking enforcement in Balboa Park for the office workers who park their cars for free there starting around 7am and then walk to work downtown. I see them every day San Diego when I use Balboa Dog Park. If there was a two hour limit from 7 to 9 am this problem would end and leave open spaces for park visitors. REDUCE the bikes lanes! They are under-used and slow commuter traffic. San Diego Expanded public transportation system and bicycle paths. We need more and better highways, including wider highways. Roads need to be improved also (such as filling potholes). We DON'T need more carpool lanes, HOV lanes, and bicycle lanes. We DON'T need more trolley and rail service. These last two require sufficient population density to San Diego be economically viable. We do not have high enough density in San Diego for these. They are a waste of taxpayer money. They sacrifice taxpayers by forcing them to subsidize the use of these services. Let's get the residential roads, potholes, etc., fixed up, and let's start planning on adding some lanes to our most crowded freeways. Start rewarding those households who have significantly San Diego reduced their water consumption....to the many that have not reduced, make them pay penalties. I wrote a long comment but your idiotic limit on this box made me reduce it to a meaningless statement. Tell your dumb webmaster to put a word counter on the edge of this text box so we San Diego can know when we run out of space. I will save my comment until I get an email address that accepts a reasonable comment from us, your San Diego residents. Why oh why doesn't our politicians see the problem of water reserves, but let all the rain water San Diego wash into the ocean. Can't you put a reservoir as top priority in our county. Does our lives mean anything to you. Oh yea, those pensions come first. That's why I'm fed up with you politicians. There is more and more construction coming up on Carmel Valley and Rancho Peñasquitos. SR 56 is already at capacity and there are several bottlenecks on that route. It is congested from I- San Diego 15 to I-5 during morning commute and vice versa during afternoon commute. It will desperately need 3rd lane for both directions. Do a pilot project for round-abouts. Test their energy conservation (no stop lights, no cars San Diego idling, etc.). Complete the connection to the 15 north from the 56.Trolley down Miramar and Mira Mesa. No toilet to tap. Replace old pipes, prevent water loss. More trolleys, shuttles, connections, to buses San Diego and more bike friendly pathways. Buses need more frequent stops. Also, in Europe they have a designated lane for buses so they don't caught in traffic. There would have to be a patrol and steep fine to keep cars out of the lane.

San Diego bike routes. dedicated, safe, bike routes.

Aqueducts need to be built so that rain water can be channeled to be saved along with a purifying system of waste water to purified water as Orange county has done. Mandate the San Diego water companies to not raise rates as their executives get the bonuses which is OUR money. High speed transit needs to be considered for the near future to go from Lindbergh Field to LAX to SJO - SFO. NOT from nowhere to nowhere as is now considered!!!! I'd like to see the Tijuana River Valley cleaned up. It's full of trash from Mexico, and every time it rains it gets worse. Seriously, instead of a beautiful wildlife habitat and recreation area, it's San Diego becoming Tijuana's overflow sewer and dump. I'd like to see some way to prevent or divert the pollution coming across the border every time it rains. Also, Monument Road west of Hollister badly needs to be repaved. San Diego Trolley to airport 1. Rapid transit to down 30th to downtown via Pershing. 2. Improved bike/walk access to Balboa Park (zoo/museums)?from North Park and South Park - a San Diego better, safer way to get across Florida canyon! Zoo Drive up from the canyon is effectively unbikeable because it's so narrow and Morley field drive is no better. San Diego fix the city streets and that does not mean more bike lanes !!

108 Place of Comments Residence All "Bike Routes" that do not feature protection for cyclists should be removed from SANDAG's maps of its bicycle infrastructure to better represent the state of active transit here. I am from San Diego Minnesota, which has much more robust active transit options than San Diego. That just doesn't make any sense. We have the best weather in the country and a serious unfolding health epidemic. We need higher standards here for expectations of non-car, active transit alternatives.

The trolley locations have to be though the neighborhoods so people can walk or bike to use San Diego the trolley. More trail usage though open spaces for bike commuting. Affordable Housing and Homeless solutions. Move Airport and Port CIP CEQA-level projects to SANDAG. Then use Federal Airport Revenues San Diego for Regional Infrastructure projects on State Tidelands including Mission Bay and the San Diego River. tinyurl.com/20160113a San Diego The surface streets in our neighborhood (92128) are just disintegrating. All six categories from above are equally important and can we addressed at the same time. San Diego Please address this shortcoming in your polling process otherwise your statistics will have little meaning. A plan much more focused on alternative transportation, especially bike lanes and mass transit, San Diego including bus lanes and service extensions such as Blue Line Trolley to La Jolla UTC and buses to the new Tijuana airport crossing in Otay Mesa. The streets in this city/county are atrocious! Everywhere one goes there's holes, bumps, large cracks and ruts. The road between Carmel Mountain Road and Poway Road (Rancho Carmel Drive, which becomes Saber Springs Parkway) is especially bad - it's a virtual mine field! It's a San Diego main driving route for anyone living in Carmel Mountain Ranch, and is absolutely punishing vehicle suspensions. After the recent rains, it's become even worse, as the inadequate patch jobs just get worked loose. As a cyclist, I would like to have all stop lights work for bicycles. Some no matter how long you San Diego wait do not change. If you go against the light when clear and police officer sees you, you get a ticket. I think something needs to be done about the basic rules of the road for cyclists. An .8 mile stretch of road in the heart of San Diego is a no-man’s land for cyclists and especially pedestrians who have to get from the West end of Hotel Circle South in Mission Valley to Old Town, the trolley station, etc. I live In Mission Village Condos at 1621 Hotel Circle S. and walk San Diego this route almost daily. No sidewalks, no streetlights and rarely any maintenance of shrubbery over growth make this very dangerous. Google map 2317 Hotel Circle S. to 2837 Presidio Drive for perspective. The recent heavy rains have created numerous deep potholes in our streets that are dangerous for driving safety and damaging to cars. I would like to see these problems addressed ASAP. San Diego Secondly, I would like to see continued improvements in handling traffic volume on I-5 and I- 805. San Diego Widen each direction of Route 56 by 1 lane. Neighborhood-wide free WI-FI hot spots throughout San Diego providing intranet access for less San Diego affluent citizens and promoting San Diego as a high tech world leader and attracting/ encouraging leading-edge technology employers to locate in San Diego. I want to establish a "Beautification Project" that would involve small businesses sponsoring given intersections in the city much like Caltrans does w/ freeway areas. Small businesses could sponsor a high profile area, keep it clean themselves or hire a company that specializes in such San Diego work, put there signage up as "Sponsor of this area." No cost to the city, areas are beautified, they get to do some marketing, work is generated for those who do the cleaning and maintenance of those areas. Fix COMPASS cards to make it easier for occasional riders to use. I would like to see a system San Diego that allows me to reload my transit card so I don't need to buy a new one whenever I want to ride the bus or trolley. San Diego Improve traffic flow on Genesee Avenue from I 5 to CA 52

109 Place of Comments Residence Repave existing bike trails that are falling apart. Extend rose Creek bike train from E Mission Bay San Diego Drive to existing Rose Canyon trail. Rose Canyon trail also needs drainage improvements and repaving. I grew up in NYC and with the bus and subway system, rarely needed a car to get far and wide. San Diego More needs to be done in San Diego to enhance the local bus system, making it convenient, frequent, very local and easy to access. Improve the streets and bike paths. Our bike paths are poor, insufficient and repair. Denver and Seattle have better bike paths! Cars suffer from potholes city-wide. Also, our storm drains San Diego cannot handle our storms, flooding in "non-flood" zones due to the drainage system. San Diegans suffer extreme personal loss when the storm drains back-up and flood cars and housing. Imagine this was your home and you would make sure the drainage system was a top priority! Consider a feasibility study for consolidating the City and County of San Diego and SANDAG into one entity to be known as The City & County of San Diego or simply SANDAG thus San Diego eliminating duplication, lack of coordination, and unnecessary duplicative costs. Excess employees after consolidation would not be terminated but rather left in place until they leave voluntarily or retire. 1. Rail service in UTC area. Rail to UCSD from UTC. San Diego 2. Rail service from main line to SD Airport. 3. Grow convention center/combine with Charger stadium Anything to alleviate traffic congestion. Traffic congestion is at an all-time high and will San Diego continue to worsen. We need better public transportation. I would like to see a major improvement in "last-mile" transit options so that what transit we do have can be used more effectively. Our entire transit system needs to become more robust so San Diego that opting for transit over car travel doesn't double or triple travel time. More highway improvements are low on my list; if we improve transit enough it will take cars off the road and reduce the need to keep upgrading the highways. More bike paths. Recycle water. Repair roads. More park space. Improve/enhance/extend San San Diego Diego River walk/bikeway from Mission Gorge to the ocean. Minimal public money for stadium to keep Chargers here. First and most important - extending our Convention Center - and would be for more important San Diego than bringing the Chargers back. The more conventions here means more money coming in and more people introduced to our city for business or residence. San Diego Please take all the money and repair our streets! They are in deplorable condition. Keeping our streets repaired on a regular basis. I travel along Balboa Ave and Camino Del Norte. San Diego Both of these streets need to kept up. Camino Del Norte especially has issues. Connect more open space trails and mountain bike paths. Make bus service more accessible so it San Diego is a viable transportation option. (1) More vehicle capacity (additional lane construction) on highways and arterials is necessary. Government cannot continue to approve open spaces for residential development without providing sufficient vehicle capacity to service those developments. Residents must be able to San Diego travel to and from work, shopping, healthcare, recreation, etc. efficiently. (2) However, HOV lanes are a poor investment. They are underutilized in an environment where more vehicle capacity is necessary. Utility poles underground: As taxpayers paying taxes every year for many years to put all utilities underground. Start this project in 92106. Start as soon as possible! Traffic: 163 south between Balboa and the 8 interchange in the evening has become overly congested and the 8 west exit is San Diego a dangerous design due to the Friars road on-ramp. Congestion and safety need to be addressed; Habitat: Continue to require open space by developers and wildlife corridors to preserve our native species. San Diego fix the wretched surface streets. they are shameful and destructive.

110 Place of Comments Residence I live in Carmel Valley where there is NO public transportation. Yet we are going to get a huge development, One Paseo. The traffic, auto pollution, and backups on 5 will be a nightmare. San Diego Also, for 100 years a link to Balboa Park from downtown has been talked about, but nothing done. How nice it would be to take the Coaster downtown, then have an easy way to get to the park!! No more freeway lanes! We need transit and bike, pedestrian linkages. Balboa Trolley stop San Diego needs active transport linkages to beach area. Balboa Trolley stop needs a dedicated shuttle for beach area (not just a standard MTS bus). I have seen several street improvement projects or repairs with no traffic control creating a huge San Diego traffic mess. Also I do not agree to an increase in sales tax. Enough tax already. San Diego Solving the homeless problem to make downtown living less stressful There has been talk for a long time to develop hiking paths down the canyons into Mission San Diego Valley so they connect up with the river paths. But actual progress has been nil. I'd love to see that happen. Water recycling. Stop dumping reclaimed water into the ocean. Send it to the reservoirs to be San Diego treated like the water we get from the Colorado River. Build more plants to turn sea water into drinking water. Connect the 56 EB to the 5 SB and connect the 5 SB to the 56 EB. Getting off on surface streets creates so much delay in traffic and extra exhaust/smog than if the vehicles could keep moving. Have 2 right-turn lanes from Carmel Mountain EB onto Carmel Mountain SB. (There are 3 left- San Diego turn lanes from Carmel Mountain EB onto El Camino Real NB, at the same intersection. Rush hour traffic gets backed very far along the 5 north bypass from this seemingly simple-to-fix problem. EDUCATING drivers to keep the space cushion from the car in front of you to the minimum .Too much space is the major cause of congestion!! I-15 Southbound needs signage way ahead of the split of State 163. Too many out of towners do not know ahead of time which one takes them San Diego DOWNTOWN!. Balboa Ave along with many other arterial streets need to be pushed through to be able to use major arterials . Downtown freeway access direction signs are woefully inadequate to our tourists. I recently heard a presentation by Alan Hoffman and his Quickway proposal. I think the ideas San Diego are well-thought out and should be given consideration. San Diego Fix the streets! Why isn't there a trolley line that goes to Balboa Park? I have used the trolley many times, and think it would be a great asset to the line to go to the park for residents and tourists. Just think San Diego how that would alleviate traffic during December Nights. Run an extension up Park Boulevard from downtown and have a station near the Natural History Museum/Zoo. I would like to see San Diego do what LA is doing (prioritize transit and move up transit projects so they can be built before transit-friendly housing and businesses come into existence). San Diego Remember, New York built its famous transit system when there were still empty fields in Manhattan and the Burroughs. There needs to be some intelligence in traffic light timing. Traveling Miramar west, I and 5/6 other cars had to stop at almost every single light because a lone car arrived at the next San Diego intersection. Heading north on El Camino from Encinitas, I and 50 other cars had to stop at almost every subsequent light because it turned red right before the group got there. Phoenix, AZ and Irvine, CA time their lights based on the speed limit. Can San Diego? Transit is a chicken/egg issue. Often people have a hard time spending money on something that a lot of people don't use. But a transit system will only experience robust ridership after it offers robust connectivity. I request strong leadership to move transit forward. Any city around San Diego the world with a comprehensive and efficient system, has a well-used and appreciated system. For growth, the environment, social justice, and quality of life SD requires a hugely expanded and convenient system.

111 Place of Comments Residence Our city and county leaders seem much more worried about the Chargers than about the people who live here. It is time we get our priorities straight and spend resources on improving quality San Diego of life for those of us who are already living here. I've lived in this city for over 70 years and seen it go from a WONDERFUL place to live to just a great place. It's time to once again work to make it truly America's Finest City for those who live here. A much more comprehensive public transportation system. Trolley lines going up I-5 to Oceanside and up I-15 to Escondido. I recently visited both Chicago and New York City. In San Diego Chicago I rode the subway (elevated train) from O'Hare Airport into downtown ($3 one way). In New York City, I took the subway from JFK Airport into Manhattan and then rode the subway daily while in Manhattan. Loved it. San Diego is way behind the curve. As a Scripps Ranch resident, I appreciate the clearing of vegetation along open space corridors and along highways to prevent wildfires. I am a runner and also appreciate trails that act as San Diego firebreaks. It would also be nice if people who live inland could easily get to the airport or downtown using transit. I would rather not have a sales tax increase. Some of the categories above might not need a lot of funding but could benefit from volunteers. Just an idea.

San Diego Extend the trolley to Balboa Park

road repair. Mass transit is not working and is draining valuable funds from road repair and lane expansion. Dedicated bike lanes on already narrow and busy roads that replace car lanes is a San Diego horrible plan and will increase auto congestion. Bike traffic does not warrant dedicated lanes and creating them will not magically increase bike traffic Water quality and clearing brush to help prevent the spread of wildfires are the priorities that I San Diego feel are the most important. Better public tran to keep so many peoples cars off the road. Clean up the. beaches before it’s San Diego too late. Much too much foot traffic on them. Plan for traffic congestion. Build more roads, plan with companies to have employees San Diego Live near work or work out in their homes. Build Pickball courts. Our senior populations is growing. And this is agreed sport for us. Make bike riding safer and more efficient throughout the region. More dedicated bike lanes - San Diego free of pedestrian traffic and cars - are needed throughout the region. More people would bike if they felt it were safer. Thank you. Bus service to/in Carmel Valley (San Diego). San Diego More frequent coaster service to/from downtown SD. REPAVE SORRENTO VALLEY ROAD FROM COASTER STATION NORTH TO CARMEL MTN ROAD Let's limit the construction of new high density multifamily housing projects. They cannot be San Diego considered sustainable given that Southern California is in a massive drought. We can't keep asking residents to conserve while allowing more people to build. Please put public transportation in Scripps Ranch. I live 3 miles from the nearest bus stop (near SR High School). Thousands of kids could ride the bus to school and reduce traffic congestion. San Diego Marshall Middle School and Alliant International University are off of Pomerado Road If you ran a bus down Pomerado and around to Scripps Poway Parkway, it would serve SRHS, Alliant, Marshall, and thousands of people who have to drive to work and shop. Increase reservoir capacity. Fix the roads. Expand the roads. NO more HOV lanes. We all pay for San Diego the roads so we all should be able to make use of them at all times. Widen the CA-56 to 3 lanes - it's a huge bottleneck during morning and evening rush hours and San Diego they keep adding more housing along that corridor. Stop replacing traffic lanes with bus lanes and bike lanes. Just stop. The rapid bus lines are a complete waste. The notion that if you make the buses just a little bit faster the downtown San Diego bankers are suddenly going to start riding the bus with the homeless is leftist fantasy that needs to end. Stop wasting money and start fixing potholes.

112 Place of Comments Residence Water quality affected by ground water contamination and recycled sewage is my concern. A recent NYT article exposed one tragic incident in West Virginia involving PFOA contamination. San Diego The incident was caused by careless industrial waste disposal. It has the potential to seriously harm the world's population. The San Diego region needs a system for collecting clean sources of water runoff. There are thousands of dangerous chemicals not being monitored by the Environmental Protection Act. San Diego Population growth in the San Diego area should be controlled until adequate sources of safe water are available. Following the model in other major metropolitan areas, San Diego needs an effective subway San Diego system. Use smaller buses to connect trolley lines to areas near trolley stations, like the mini-buses in San Diego Hong Kong San Diego No new taxes, especially after the approval of the water rate hike.

San Diego the trolley should really go to UCSD. 1) Replace aging water lines that keep breaking 2) Develop projects to CAPTURE AND TREAT storm water and runoff for future use San Diego 3) Continue to evolve/expand the Trolley system if and only if you are seeing ridership increase For highways, seek out and use State or Federal $$ for this. Do not use locally sourced tax $$. Most important.... Trolley rail line to the AIRPORT TERMINALS....and Trolley rail line to UCSD CAMPUS. San Diego In my opinion should be the most important for tourist, and local people. Work should start Now. Also need more security ON the trolley....or cameras for safety. I used the public transit (Bus) to go to work for several months. I would like to use it again, San Diego however it takes 2x the time and I must walk 2 miles to get to the bus. I'd like to see more sidewalks for pedestrian traffic. It is always nice to be able to walk San Diego somewhere but sometimes there are no options, or at least safe options. Cross walks, continuous sidewalks are needed. Protecting our water, air and land from pollution is important for our quality of life. We need to San Diego make restrictions tighter on dumping trash, control runoff and conserve energy to maintain our natural resources. Any open space areas should be protected and not developed. San Diego Water Quality by far the most important project. Our streets in the City of San Diego are in very bad shape and need repair, especially pot hole repair. These pot holes will get worse if nothing is done before more rains arrive. If nothing else, consider placing asphalt in select areas so that the residents can make temporary repairs San Diego until more permanent repairs can be made by the City. I would be glad to coordinated this in the Rancho Bernardo area of High Country West. You may contact me by email to discuss this further. Just doing regular maintenance on city street is very important. The City of San Diego has very poor street, compared to, for example, the City of Poway. San Diego's streets are disgraceful. San Diego Also, accessibility to various bus routes has improved but could be better. The Access lines for disabled citizens is great but unpredictable in its timing of pickup and drop offs at times. more frequent bus service with less transfers San Diego often bus riders are elderly or disabled and having to make multiple transfers (for routes that used to be direct!) is not helpful For San Diego, to grow successfully while taking care of open lands and the environment, we need to invest in better transit options. Included in this is better, safer bike lanes. As a daily bike San Diego commuter, I know how poorly the city is laid out for two wheels. I have been sent to emergency room because I was hit by a car door. Wider roads with designated lanes are needed. I'd like more convenient transit. It's impractical now for me to use transit. I can drive places in San Diego 10-20 minutes that would take an hour or more by bus.

113 Place of Comments Residence Planning for wildlife over/underpasses on highways and wildlife corridor habitat protection San Diego throughout San Diego. In San Diego city -- aside from the downtown area and a limited number of high-use intersections, pedestrian crosswalks are a rarity -- and the enforcement of pedestrian right-of- San Diego ways at intersections is virtually non-existent throughout the city. Thus, senior citizens are much more likely to use an automobile than to walk simply because of the safety factor. We hear a lot about filling potholes, but little about sidewalks. If you walk a lot in my neighborhood, you have to be very careful not to trip because of the condition of the sidewalks. San Diego Who is responsible for fixing the sidewalks? Homeowners? City? I live in a great walking area. More people might walk if sidewalks were fixed. Same for public transit. It's difficult to get around the city without driving. Clean up the Tijuana River Valley and find a solution to the pollution that comes through San Diego Mexico. In some parts of California, there are dedicated, protected, bike lanes on multi-lane highways. This might be viable for San Diego county. With 350,000 more people projected to join our San Diego population, we need to do something now. Highways need to be a lot smarter to support future auto drive cars with adequate merge footage. Transport upgrades as in Europe could help people to live further out but able to access work. San Diego Add public transportation for commuters and reduce freeway traffic I'd like to see the trolley system extended to span 56 between the 5 and 15, and connect the two transit centers there. There is a lot of traffic on the 56 now to bring commuters from RB, San Diego PQ, and points east, to Torrey Pines, Sorrento Mesa and Mira Mesa. We can start with Rapid and use it to validate the ridership. Add extra lanes to I-15 from Rancho Bernardo and northwards. The narrowing of I-15 near Rancho Bernardo causes severe traffic back-ups. San Diego Increase mass transit, but not at the expense of expanding our major highways. All other projects (i.e., city projects, habitat conservation, active transportation, water quality) are not on what transportation dollars should be spent ! San Diego better transit options so we can all leave our cars at home. Seems many of the plans call for millions of dollars for highway improvement without any additional capacity for vehicles. Several of the regional highways are being torn up again (I-15 San Diego around University for example) that was must complete decade or so ago. Add additional capacity to the freeways while redoing them, not just a bus lane. Driving on horribly maintained roads is an everyday reminder of deterioration. There is no point San Diego in building new roads, bikeways, etc. if we cannot maintain what we have Widen the freeways, and most important, use the lanes we have in a more efficient way. How about a program to encourage slower drivers to keep right except to pass? Free up the left lanes San Diego for faster cars, and keep the slower cars in the right lanes. How about a program to avoid freeway clumping? This is where all the cars in all the lanes are going the same speed, and a traffic jam builds up behind them, because no one can get past. I am NOT too happy about your station plan at the Morena location as I happen to work at Armstrong Garden Center at 1350 W Morena! You just HAD to put a station and a parking San Diego space where our store has been for a long time, with lots of regular customers for years! Now we have to move, despite that there is PLENTY of parking in the large nearby parking lots! WHY was it not a good idea to locate the parking lot and station there?! More lanes on SB 805 in the Golden Triangle/Sorrento Valley area. New office buildings shouldn't be permitted if there is no way for the workers to get home. Gridlock to get on the SB San Diego 805 and then gridlock on SB 805 every evening. HOV lanes and direct access ramps aren't going to help one bit. Fix the roads!!! They are terrible. Make bike lanes or wider shoulders of connecting roads San Diego throughout the county.

114 Place of Comments Residence Time for the city to push for more planting of native trees, bushes around the city, parks, public areas, freeways and street sides. I would also encourage the city to push for more public art projects involving local artists. Finally, it is imperative that we focus on mass transit efforts such San Diego as the extension of the trolley and coaster. On a side note, we all realize the greed from the Chargers' owner. Let him go. We do not need a rich parasite who only thinks about his personal interest. San Diego Reduce public transit service gaps between central and rural areas of San Diego County.

Some ideas for new roads to reduce bottlenecks: -Murphy Canyon Road extension to Friars Road -Santo Road continuous connection from 52 to Friars Road -Tierrasanta Boulevard extension to Mission Gorge Road San Diego -Regents Road bridge connecting University City to UTC -Connection from Morena Boulevard north to Gilman Drive -New frontage road or bike path paralleling the freeway from Convoy St to Governor Drive -New frontage road east of the 805 connecting Governor Drive to Nobel Drive Link the new Centerline with the Green Line in Mission Valley where they intersect, allowing the San Diego Mid-City transit dependent to have access to the light rail system. Cover the 94 between 22nd and 25th Streets. I would love to see the San Diego River become an "outdoorsy" destination throughout its meandering way in the city. There are cleaned up parts of the river in small sections in Mission San Diego Valley, but I think the trails alongside could be vastly extended and improved. The area could be a really great wildlife refuge for the city. San Diego Anything that gets people out of their cars and creating neighborhoods such as Kensington We need more SAFE, protected bike lanes! Augmented with friendly reminder PSAs with a fresh tag line (Share the Road has lost its impact!). Cyclists Save You a Parking Spot! Bikers are good San Diego for the Earth! With our climate and infrastructure, cycling is an obvious choice for the health of residents and the planet. And clean, reliable water is important, too! San Diego I would like to see more maintenance performed on bicycle paths and bike lanes.

San Diego Pure Water program, ReWild Mission Bay

San Diego THERE IS WAY TOO MUCH GRIDLOCK ON OUR COUNTY FREEWAYS!

I realize how tempting money from population growth and construction may be to my local San Diego elected officials, but these things are ruining San Diego. Soon we will be another Los Angeles. San Diego is still a nice place, let's keep it that way. Improve the roads! They have gotten so bad in the last 10 years. Also, I would really like to see the city coordinate projects better to save money and improve citizens lives and experience. An excellent current example is that only a few years ago my street was torn up to replace the San Diego water mains. Now, they are going to tear up those same new streets to replace the sewer lines. It sure seems like we could coordinate and do these projects at the same time and save a lot of money and hassle. Need to create a *connected* network of dedicated (i.e., separated from motor vehicles) walking / biking paths. For example, a continuous trail from Ocean Beach through Lakeside to the mountains. Currently these types of paths are predominantly fragmented, which makes San Diego them less useful -- for commuting as well as recreational purposes. Connected trail corridors are also beneficial for wildlife preservation and can benefit water quality if the paths are unpaved and located along canyons.

115 Place of Comments Residence cost of rental housing in San Diego is becoming impossible. students have to leave San Diego because they can't afford to live here. also senior citizens. Too many bike lanes and red curbs . need to drive our cars to work. Not everyone can afford to San Diego pay parking fees everywhere. don't want a new stadium downtown. quit going to Padres games because they're downtown. Too much traffic, too expensive to park, no real tailgating area. We need more mass transit options: 1) Expand the Trolley system (or streetcars) to service more San Diego neighborhoods. San Diego 2) Make major improvements on bike lanes and sidewalks / walking paths 3) Help support the growth of urban villages.

San Diego Stored value on the Compass Card.

San Diego Aggressively repair our streets. Bike paths in dense areas that will compete with other surface transportation in getting people places in the shortest amount of time safely. Commuters need to be able to pedal for miles at a San Diego time without having to stop and compete with cars. With bike corridors linking downtown to nearby neighborhoods, people will eventually choose the fastest alternative. This means bridges, tunnels and other non-grade level crossings. I would like to see a complete integrated transit system or plan, not a poorly planned trolley extension which does not address traffic problems in the community but adds to such problems. Government and SANDAG needs to account to the people it represents and use taxpayer dollars San Diego to develop efficient transportation systems which reduces traffic on the highways, efficiently serves the public, and does not obstruct or put in place unreasonable burdens on the community. I would like to see some care being taken about the roads, availability of water, and the appropriateness of all the residential building along the San Diego River. I think the permits San Diego that are being approved without regard for water availability, impact on traffic, pollution, etc. is irresponsible. Until there are solutions, the residential building has got to stop. L San Diego Fix the streets including leveling manhole covers.

San Diego Slow down growth to sustainable levels. San Diego traffic is getting worse every day. When an ambulance is called, the doctors who help provide medical direction to the paramedics are spread across 7 different hospitals, and don't get standardized training in how to take care of patients out in the field. I think it would make more sense to have one central place in the San Diego County (probably not a hospital, but a separate command center) that could provide medical direction/oversight for the EMS system, so patients can get care from trained EMS professionals in a consistent manner. San Diego quickwayproposal.wix.com/proposal Directing rain/storm water on Riviera Drive to control over flooding on sidewalks when there San Diego are downpours. Work on the gutter system to solve this problem. To attract transit users we need to make it more convenient. E.g., we need to have more direct routes from point A to point B if it takes 15 minutes by car and 1-1/2 hours by public transportation guess which mode I'm taking. The locations to get transit should be convenient 1 San Diego in each zip code with plenty of parking and regular feeder buses from all over the area. At the start it might cost a lot of tax dollars but when the ridership is there it could be almost self- sufficient. Keep riders in their own car via mass-transit through high-use corridors. Vehicles would be locked in and turned off at a hub, then released at a hub. Connect with regional and state systems. Reduce problems to collect & deliver people at origin & destination, mode-change San Diego delay+effort, and share personal space in public trans (with limits on sound/music, eating, power supply, comfort). Conserve fuel; improve safety+environment. Set car stds to participate: dimnsn+weight+ tech to secure+monitor.

116 Place of Comments Residence San Diego Get the freeway widening and upgrades completed!

San Diego Active Transportation should be priority #1

San Diego All the money should go to road and highway improvements. Bike lanes separated from cars. San Diego Invest in traffic calming for pedestrians. More ways to save rainwater in city streets. More and safer bike lanes, especially along Kearny Villa Road between Miramar and Kearny Mesa. This is the only connection east of La Jolla and the danger of sharing the road with San Diego 60mph traffic and unprotected crossings of merging lanes deters many potential bike commuters. First of all, our roads need to be repaved desperately. More bike lanes with major roads. Light San Diego rail needs to connect the airport with the trolley. Furthermore, trolley needs to be built up in the Hillcrest, North Park, Bankers Hill and Normal Heights area.

More and safer bicycle routes. More trolley routes/destinations. How about a street car back in San Diego Hillcrest/University Avenue?

More frequent bus and trolley service. Expanded HOV lanes on highways but absolutely NO toll San Diego roads. Less emphasis on bike ways. Few people ride bikes. Spend the money on what people use--highways and transit. No new taxes. Not entirely sure what you mean by Habitat Conservation - I was afraid it means cutting down the chaparral, so I unchecked that one! Please focus on affordable public transportation and San Diego more emphasis on walking and biking. Under Water Quality I urge you to preserve wetlands and find ways to absorb storm runoff instead of moving it swiftly to the ocean. Carmel Valley currently has NO public transportation of ANY kind! We have lived here for 30 years, how much longer do we have to wait???? We would like to see the trolley come as far San Diego north as Del Mar. There is such horrible traffic in the afternoon going southbound that we have absolutely stopped going that direction for any reason after 3:00. This is unacceptable. It takes at least 20 minutes to go a meager 5 miles. We are stranded without any alternatives. preservation of more grassland and less conversion via mitigation of grassland to scrub habitat. We have enough chaparral and coastal sage scrub preserved, but the invasive and native San Diego grasslands are essential to preserving some types of ecosystems and biodiversity through edge habitat San Diego At least begin retirement of the Point Loma sewage plant. We need a light rail system to connect downtown, UTC, Sorrento Valley, and Carmel Valley to reduce traffic congestion. There needs to be regular, reliable, and affordable ways to connect from the stations to the key points of interest and areas of employment. There should be San Diego affordable parking at the key stations so that people can park and then ride public transit to major destinations. The rail should run up the 805 and the 5. This would reduce traffic congestion and pollution. Stop raising taxes on people to support your investments and go to the people with real money, San Diego please Move the I-15 barrier daily to minimize the "HOV only" days, don't forgo that revenue. San Diego Get Caltrans to accommodate bikes thru interchanges. If Qualcomm is to be repurposed, consider use that would enhance the San Diego River walk area. Create a public use park at the old Mission Valley quarry site when that is vacated. Divert San Diego storm water to reservoirs. Catch water and solar energy on city owned property. Become a world leader in the fight to save our planet's environment from the threat of global warming. Create housing developments for young adult budgets. Dedicated bikeways along the Coast and inland via canyons. These are as likely to serve tourist and recreational needs as they are commuters. But, I think it’s been clearly demonstrated in San Diego other CA cities and US regions that bikeways attract tourists who spend more than, say, NFL fans.

117 Place of Comments Residence Expand trolley coaster shorten travel times too long now. Make payment easy no one carries San Diego exact change. Exhaust impacts air quality I had asthma issues this year for first time ever with several friends & co-workers. Add Monorail, Arial tram. Use Qualcomm Stadium as transit hub

San Diego Separate bikeways, bike paths

All main east to west freeways need to be widened at least by one lane - 52, 56, 78, 76. I travel San Diego on these frequently for business on a daily basis. The morning and late afternoon commutes are gradually worsening as our population grows. SANDAG while not directly responsible for jobs, can play an important role in attracting San Diego employers (and retaining them) in San Diego. Better infrastructure means better jobs. Put bikes on sidewalks, not streets, to improve safety. Install more crossing lights. There are San Diego many examples in Europe to do this right (Holland, Germany). Create a contiguous bicycle super highway for bicycle commuters. See example in Germany. Focus on relieving vehicle congestion at intersections/interchanges and converting unused/little San Diego used pavement to enhance short ped/bike trips. TNC regulations to prevent drastic increases and decreases potentially impacting the safety and security of citizens. Regulations would require TNC's who wish to continue operations comply San Diego with the ordinance measure requiring prices cannot drop more than 50% the cost of a traditional taxi. Any TNC who operates cannot have a price exceed the cost of a traditional taxi when prices are increased due to high demand by (Surge, Prime Time, etc.). "A network of transit and active transportation projects that allow residents (of the San Diego region) to live comfortably and happily without a car." This is a matter of EQUITY, and requires San Diego LEADERSHIP on the part of SANDAG Board. I -- along with countless other talented, young San Diegans -- will abandon this region if our leaders refuse to join the 21st century. Prioritization and acceleration of bicycle projects that remove cyclists from high speed roadways such as Pacific Highway, Kettner, etc. Implementation of frequent shuttle service from major San Diego origins (Pacific Beach, Ocean Beach, Point Loma) to existing and future transit stations before other more complex solutions are planned/implemented. San Diego Protected bike lanes. I'm very concerned about the spread of non-native invasive species in our waterways. While much has been done, and efforts are ongoing, I would like to see substantially more funding San Diego dedicated to removal and eradication of plants like arundo donax, both in the field and through study. Thanks for this opportunity to share!

Patching up the streets in San Diego County, many of the streets have huge potholes that are San Diego very dangerous for cars. This is something to consider especially during the wetter seasons.

Expand light rail as much as possible; utilize smaller more frequent trains on Coaster line; San Diego decrease buses, increase light rail; lobby legislature to grant a statutory exemption for transit expansions to significantly decrease the amount of time and expense involved in CEQA User friendly maps that show specific hunting/shooting areas open to the public within San San Diego Diego County: maps should contain clear boundaries, trails, times, parking locations, local office contact info, types of hunting and shooting allowed. I want to reopen the passage north of Lake Murray Dam, from Del Cerro Boulevard to San Carlos. My daughter could use this route to school but she will have to bike on Navajo road San Diego where the speed limit is posted 50mph. I have checked with the water authorities and they have no objection, The main objection is from the residents in the neighborhood not wanting more outsiders passing through. The cost for opening the passage again would be minimal. San Diego Rather than a sales tax increase, how about an increase in the gas tax to pay for transportation?

118 Place of Comments Residence Revert all HOV lanes to open traffic lanes -- for the people who PAID for them to use. I am tired of being a "lab rat “for some hubris-infected planner. San Diego Please, begin to serve the public -- not just special interests. I LIKE my car and the freedom it gives me. Send the busy-bodies back to their neighborhood gossiping and let me enjoy the freedom of roads and car. I would like to see the San Diego River Foundation supported in completing a restoration of the river and its natural habitat protected. Also we need more emphasis on bike paths, safe bike San Diego and walk paths for children to get to school, less emphasis on expanding freeways and more on public transport. Compared to other places around the country and the world, I think San Diego's road quality and signage could be vastly improved. The roads are pot-holed and rickety. They are confusing sometimes. I like how in Hotel Circle they've painted on the roads with clear lane directions -- San Diego that would be great city-wide. I would like to see traffic cameras in wide usage to prevent speeding and light-running. I would like to see better communication when it comes to merging and exiting. San Diego A system of frequent transit service and a strong network of bike facilities

San Diego Build a bike lane on Nimitz to pass over the on ramp to I-8 east. Connection between highway 56 bike path and Sorrento Valley Road beneath Interstate 5. I San Diego believe it was schedule at one point and survey markers were at the site, but nothing has happened for years. A homeless hotel voucher program so that the homeless do not smell, yell and sleep in the San Diego transit bus and trolley. San Diego Trolley to UCSD

AT projects that provide residents with safe routes to healthy places around the city and San Diego integrate urban greening.

Fix potholes -- some of them are destroying my Smart Car. San Diego Cover the All-American Canal to improve water quality and eliminate evaporation losses. Modernize Qualcomm Stadium -- don't replace it. I hate the sharrows! They are dangerous and increase the conflict between cars and bikes. Many people do not understand what they mean and they encourage bikes to be on roads that really San Diego are not able to accommodate them. I bike to work once a week and avoid the roads that are sharrows due to this danger. I think the sharrows are so dangerous that it puts the city at risk for a lawsuit due to the risks.

San Diego Finish the double tracking of the Coaster/Amtrak rail route.

Expand bike paths and bike storage downtown San Diego. I take the RAPID MTS and find it San Diego difficult to store my bike downtown which I use to commute the last 4 miles to work.

I live in Mission Hills. The dedicated bike lanes are a disaster. The streets are too narrow to dedicate a lane to the few bike riders that commute to work. Also the only are I ever see Decco San Diego bikes is in Balboa Park. Those bike stations are taking up either precious parking or are on the sidewalk. Near the beach, they are also given an unfair advantage over brick and mortar bike shops. Your priorities should be to fix the potholes and clean up the streets and avenues. San Diego Fix the potholes now. I live in San Carlos off Jackson. Jackson, Navaho, and Mission Gorge have become alternate speedways between 52 and I-8. Mission Gorge drivers often are traveling at freeway speeds and Navaho users are not much below those between College and Lake Murray. I would like to see San Diego some control instead of the high allowable speeds that are posted. Briefly Jackson speeds were increased but have been returned to residential limits. We have many schools that are served off Jackson and Navaho.

119 Place of Comments Residence I would like to see our communities modified to consume less energy and reduce greenhouse emissions. Things I would like to see SANDAG encourage are roof-top solar projects and San Diego landscaping to absorb carbon dioxide. I have also heard that roundabouts are much more energy efficient compared to stop signs and traffic lights. I wonder if that is also something SANDAG could facilitate. More pedestrian friendly --- Crosswalks painted at key intersections near UCSD -- e.g., Via Allicante and Via Mallorca, Gilman Drive on east side of road at La Jolla Village drive crossing, San Diego real bus stop for southbound 150 bus on Gillman. We moved from Redmond, WA and are surprised at the extent of the lack of pedestrian friendliness in some key areas. Keep up the work on the bike projects. Increased bus service from UTC to Sorrento Valley. It is beyond comprehension that we do not have light rail serving the 163/15 corridor. It could San Diego have so easily been installed when they were building the carpool lanes. Bus service is totally inadequate, and traffic is a mess. It should be the first item of SANDAG's business. Accelerate trolley development, increase frequency on the trolley and expand the "Rapid" bus San Diego lines. San Diego It's impossible to get around SD without a car. This needs to change. We need bicycle superhighways. With electric bicycles becoming more popular and prices San Diego dropping, it will be a viable option to use for traveling to/from work. (i) housing for homeless in San Diego as this impacts everybody and discourages more tourism; (ii) better transit system, extended lines for city tram/railway; San Diego (iii) city road improvements (some streets are in a very poor condition); (iv) making sure beaches are clean. The trolley to UCSD and UTC is an important project for me. I know it's in the works, but I'd like to see it given a higher priority. Also, better transit to Lindbergh Field. There's only one bus line, San Diego from downtown. Having a bus or even better a trolley from Old Town to the airport would be great. A rapid bus from Sabre Springs transit center down a dedicated lane on the 56 to UTC. Going down Mira Mesa Boulevard takes too long. Put two stops on the 56. One near Camino Del Sur San Diego (Intuit) and another near El Camino Real. Add another bus on El Camino Real to get to Del Mar Highlands shopping center. Repaving and repair of existing city streets should take priority over any new development San Diego work. This sentiment holds true for any other infrastructure such as water/sewer, electricity, etc. Better transit schedules. I used to ride the bus from Rancho Bernardo to Qualcomm, but the San Diego convenient bus route ended. Do a better job of providing convenient transit from where people live to where they work. I enjoyed riding the bus when the route existed. I would support no new money going to Highways, if they are included I will vote against the San Diego measure. San Diego Trolley Busses on the 5 and 15 like they do in Brasila Biking and walking in the downtown areas, including road closures. Public transportation San Diego bringing people into and out of the local shopping and downtown areas. There needs to be rail service connecting inland north county areas such as Poway, Scripps Ranch and Rancho Peñasquitos with areas that have Biotech and other high tech employers such as San Diego Sorrento Valley, Del Mar, and La Jolla. There is too much traffic on Mira Mesa Boulevard and Miramar Road More protected bike lanes and connected bike routes throughout the county. Of specific San Diego importance, safe East/West bicycle routes between Clairemont and Mission Bay; also over I-5, 805 & 163 in Mission Bay, Clairemont and Kearny Mesa. San Diego Anything that makes living in the city easier (without getting in the car).

120 Place of Comments Residence Bus service in San Diego is too slow and unpredictable for anyone other than those who are forced to use it on a regular basis. I used it in San Francisco without issue, as bus stops were San Diego close to my home and my office, and buses ran every 5-10 minutes. Expand service here in dense areas such as UTC and advertise it well to office workers. This should help improve the commute for all. San Diego Need to keep highways capable of handling increased demands due to expanding population. Companies could work with bus services and advocacy groups to ID when and where busses should have priority lanes. Some of the busses getting from UCSD to the freeway (about 3 miles) San Diego can be delayed up to 45 minutes as they follow the law and wait behind cars jumping over (illegally) at the last minute. I'm sure other companies with employees trying to avoid the stress of driving run into this as well. Designated SAFER bike lanes are number one. Having a transit card that can debit per ride San Diego would be fabulous in addition to the daily and monthly options. I would love to have a useable train/trolley/equivalent to go from Downtown/Hillcrest/North Park to UCSD, Sorrento Valley, and/or Torrey Pines. The reason no one uses the public transit is because 1) the buses are very inefficient time-wise, 2) the Amtrak doesn't run very often, is San Diego expensive, and doesn't offer monthly passes to Sorrento Valley, and 3) the trolley has *extremely* limited usefulness in terms of destinations. If the trolley system was extended north, that would be amazing. San Diego Transit that comes to La Jolla is extremely important for employees in the Torrey Pines area We ABSOLUTELY need to improve our Public Transportation system with something realistic. San Diego The existing trolley network can be greatly improved and expanded upon. In Southeastern San Diego I would like to road improvements, bike able and walk able trails in these communities. See public transportation run later into the evening for these communities San Diego due to lack of owning cars. They need later transportation to get home from work in the evening. Healthy open spaces and community gardens as well as clean quality water. Also electric charging stations. A trolley/metro and bus system that reaches all parts of San Diego county, including between UTC and Carlsbad. Having grown up in the North County Coastal region (Del Mar, Solana Beach, San Diego Cardiff, Encinitas), I think we need to make this a priority in order to make San Diego a place where you can live EASILY without everyday use of a car - similar to the SF/Bay area. Joining the state and southwest to act proactively, in water management & distribution with respect to our current and future drought. San Diego I worry about potential water conflicts between the haves & have-nots.. Hard decisions that should not be put off. I'd like east-west public transit options along the 52 corridor. Also light-rail is important through San Diego dense neighborhoods like Uptown, North Park, City Heights, etc. More Programs for Minority Woman and Disadvantage programs for woman and minorities connecting more primes to subcontractors making sure it works and benefits come from the San Diego program. Also input subcontractor into your data base when your bids come out, there is no place for subcontracting to input for bids when you have bids and making sure there is a data record list for follow up. San Diego Electric Trolley from downtown to Hillcrest Make transit easier so that there are fewer cars on the road. Make carpools, transit easier to San Diego find information about. Educate people so that they can make the choice for themselves. San Diego When building bicycle paths, please make them wider, smoother, and with greenery.

Improved non-vehicular traffic structure (bicycle, pedestrian) in central San Diego (City Heights, Barrio Logan, Downtown, Golden Hills, South and North Park, Normal Heights, University San Diego Heights, Hillcrest, Mission Hills) Majority of drivers of motorized vehicles disregard rights of way access and traffic signals for non-vehicular traffic. Sharrows appear to be a place for drivers to become excessively aggressive.

121 Place of Comments Residence Trolley from downtown o the actual terminals at the airport (like Ronald Regan in DC on our San Diego thru Point Loma, terminating at the sub base. And a line east & west at the Washington thru Hillcrest, between balboa park and the zoo, terminating at the naval medical center. San Diego Freeway 56 needs to be expanded for added population I am not if this is the right forum, yet need to voice my concern of the proposed closure of the A Street on-ramp in Webster on the 94 freeway. Closure would impact traffic in this community. San Diego Euclid and Home Ave entrance to freeways are already too crowded. This A St on-ramp is Webster's way to bypass the busy commercial onramps.

Enabled bike commuting through all routes. Right now, night riding is prohibited in PQ canyon San Diego and other open spaces. This is the safest and fastest path for many bike commuters.

Local city streets are worse than ever after the first series of rains. This is no longer a problem to San Diego be solved over the next five or ten years! Obviously the storm sewer system should be included in this high priority work.

San Diego More bike lanes, greater delineation between bike and auto traffic. Widen Hwy 52 to four lanes in each direction. The traffic backup's that are created every San Diego morning and every evening between Hwy 15 and Hwy 67 are from not following the rule of 6 P's. Storm water run-off capture and treatment for re-use is the best way for San Diego to become San Diego water independent and keep costs down. The oversized busses of MTS may cause more street damage than their size is beneficial. I would love to see the trolley extended up the I-15 corridor. Traffic is getting worse and worse San Diego in SD and this seems to be an area that could really benefit from better transit services, other than buses. Biking on Miramar Road is difficult and safety is a concern. Cycling east the difficulty really gets bad at the front gate of Miramar Air Station (Clayton Drive - north, Mitscher - south). San Diego Please work with Miramar Air Station to bike through the base (similar to Camp Pendleton) to travel south on Mitscher and east on Miramar Way which takes us to Kearny Villa Road. Where many cyclists are going to when they are traveling east on Miramar Road. 52 merge with 805 north bound needs a barricade to keep cars from 52 merging too early with San Diego the 805. San Diego Road improvements for cars. NOT HOV lanes, NOT bike lanes and NOT transit improvements. Reduce the impact on homelessness throughout the City of San Diego. San Diego Repair the streets within the City of San Diego, they are worse than some third-world nations. I would like a bicycle path that connects coastal communities to downtown. If there is a good San Diego connection point from Mission Bay bike paths to downtown bike paths/lanes; I really believe more people would use them. Currently, there is a big disconnect. San Diego hyper loop connecting San Diego/LA/SF San Diego The 15 corridor needs trolley or train service. I believe that Mira Mesa is still the largest subdivision in San Diego. If that is so, WHY are there San Diego no trolleys to the area, and why must we rely on Coaster and bus mass transit only? If public transportation was more convenient you would have a lot of people using it like it other major cities. Here it is unreliable and service has been cut to make it almost impossible to San Diego get anywhere on a Sunday. Increase gas taxes not sales tax. It will make using public transportation more attractive. Make carpool lanes on I-5 and 56 (Ted Williams Parkway) a priority, they are not. Allow train San Diego service directly from SAN Airport to LAX without having to jump on buses and trolleys or cabs to complete a trip. That is TOO HARD and inconvenient. San Diego synchronize traffic signals; improve road surfaces

122 Place of Comments Residence I love the San Diego River Foundation. The trails project from the mountains to the beaches is a great tourist attraction and source of pride in our region. I also think our mass transit needs San Diego some forward thinking for major events like opening day at Del Mar, Comic Con, Padres, and other key events. The coordination and running of the coaster, trolleys and busses needs to be improved. All of the above options are very important so it was very difficult choosing a top 3! An emphasis on preserving our open spaces for our children's children. SANDAG projects should San Diego consider the environment first before paving over everything. Establish public transportation in the areas of north city of San Diego where there currently is San Diego none available: Carmel Valley, Del Mar Heights, Pacific Highlands Ranch, Black Mountain Ranch, Torrey Highlands, 4S Ranch, etc. I'd greatly appreciated a protected bike lane through uptown (Normal Heights, University Heights, and Hillcrest). I try to bike to work regularly from Normal Heights to UC San Diego and San Diego there just isn't a safe way to bike across the Mesa to get down onto Pacific Highway. Drivers don't like and don't pay attention to the sharrows. Thanks for listening!

San Diego Trolley expansion along the freeways like BART. Bike lanes and paths protected from autos.

Connect the west end of SR56 bike path directly to Old Sorrento Valley Road with underpass. San Diego Removes danger from bicyclist using roadway to transfer between locations. Repave Old Sorrento Valley Road and Sorrento Valley Road for smoother bike riding. Support bicycle commuting like carpooling where people can find fellow riders via your website San Diego to commute to work together. Builds comradery and hopefully keeps people commuting via bicycles. I would like to see an easier, faster, more continuous option for cyclists along the Mission Valley corridor. Connectivity among different sections of the riverside path is poor, and some sections San Diego also feel downright unsafe for an individual during lightly traveled times. The connections across 8 up to University Heights, Normal Heights, and SDSU are also particularly unsafe.

San Diego Instead of mega-solar plants in the desert, more rooftop solar.

San Diego Better / safer cycling routes. I would like to see the City of San Diego to focus on our surrounding habitat areas where we could really work on to reduce the risk of wildfires and also keep our environment healthy & San Diego safe from harm. I believe this is a priority and our job in order to ensure the safety of our city's lands by keeping them clean, conserved and safe. That's how San Diego moves forward. Let's make it happen. Every major collector road and freeway must be designed with both active transportation and San Diego dedicated transit . No more "traffic studies" plan transportation. The public transit system needs to be continually improved to actually get residents and tourists San Diego to the locations they want to go. Also, fix the streets (potholes, rough patches, etc.). Enough with the Highways and carpool lanes. These are short sighted enablers of continuing sprawl and do little to improve the quality of life for San Diegans in all areas of the county. A San Diego wider highway 15 with car pool lanes does not relieve congestion. A high speed rail link to Temecula and Murrieta would do more to alleviate traffic congestion etc. I will not vote for a tax increase that prioritizes more car transportation, I like to see you getting middle & high schools involved in the planning etc. process. From San Diego internships as to what jobs would feel like to the planning their future city. More and better transit options, especially better integration of connections between North San Diego County Transit and MTS transit, improved connections to the Coaster, and improved connections between the NCT101 route and areas immediately east of I-5.

San Diego safer bikeways,

123 Place of Comments Residence We should find ways to discourage solo car driving and make public transportation, carpooling, motorcycle and bike riding attractive commuting alternatives. With the year-round clement San Diego weather San Diego enjoys, it is surprising and saddening that so few people use motorcycles or bikes, and rather get stuck in traffic jam wasting their time and polluting our environment... Expanded rail service to Sorrento Valley (light rail up the center of the 805, like Chicago, with a platform at Mira Mesa Boulevard). Encourage walking from the train stops via pedestrian San Diego walkways. The current Coaster service favors North County residents while the development in southern San Diego continues to grow. Improved access to get to and on the freeway in Sorrento Valley, the surface street congestion is unbearable most days. Having a trolley line that connects with airport. Removing dangerously tall Eucalyptus trees that will topple during el Niño conditions following San Diego a drought. Example: A grove of Eucalyptus trees on the corner of Balboa Terrace and Moraga. Association board is ignoring the danger. San Diego I would love to have a trolley that runs to the airport from the train station. A pedestrian/bike bridge over Florida Canyon connecting North Park/Morley Field to Park San Diego Boulevard and the Zoo. We only own one car and it's important that I have access to bus and have safe walking paths to get to my destinations. As we age, we are will depend more on public transportation. It's San Diego economical and I know we will not be able to drive anymore. However, I would like to feel safe when I walk or ride public transportation. I had great positive experience taking the 110 express from Miramar College Transit to downtown courthouse (jury duty) and also the coaster. Please fix our ever decaying city streets!! It's like I need to have my car's front end realigned San Diego very time I drive on our streets whether it be downtown or in the suburbs. There is no excuse for the condition our roads are in with the high taxes we pay each day. Working at UCSD and living in North County is difficult. It would be nice to have a direct p/u (maybe 1 or 2 times a day) from a few locations so the drive (like park and ride and direct bus to San Diego campus) would be a bit more bearable. Ride sharing is nice but it is not always feasible for us after dropping off our kiddos. I'd like to see our beautiful area more accessible by bikes, and to eventually make San Diego San Diego more of a bike and pedestrian friendly place. We have so many beautiful areas, I'd also like to see them protected for ourselves and future generations to enjoy. These are all important to me however if I have to prioritize then transit and Highways are San Diego probably first to me. There should be more emphasis on mass public transit, and less emphasis on highways. Adding lanes only adds more cars, which add more pollution and traffic congestion. There should be rail San Diego right-of-way along each highway corridor and trains/trolleys with frequent routes to encourage people to take public transit. The extension of the trolley to the UCSD area is my top priority. It would allow me to get downtown without having to drive and also participate in more things in the city. I also like the San Diego current plans in the UTC area for improved access by walking and biking. All mass transit improvement are the most important thing on my list I travel El Cajon Boulevard (The Boulevard) and it takes 20 minutes to go 2 miles. Other streets in central San Diego are no better. Harbor Dive Downtown lights don't recognize that a train is San Diego coming, and the left arrow will be green when there is nowhere to go, but the traffic to go straight on Harbor Drive is sitting at a red light with no opposing traffic. The freeways are at capacity and the city roadways are needed to avoid the rush hour traffic jams. I would support very ambitious projects that would invest in new public transport in the county. San Diego Sorrento Valley is so important to the area’s economy and is so bad at rush hour. Traffic has reached unbearable conditions! It takes an hour and 15 minutes to drive 13 miles or San Diego two hours by public transit. Transit must be improved and work centers need to be closer to where people can afford to live.

124 Place of Comments Residence More protected paths and bike lanes. As a longtime cycle commuter, the biggest barrier that San Diego people mention is fear of distracted drivers. Implementation of the Multiple Species Conservation Programs and acquisition of conservation properties like Lucky Five Ranch, Lakeside Downs, and Crest properties sustain the future of San San Diego Diego County's unique biological natural resources. Management of preserved vegetation using natural processes like controlled burns and removal of dead trees to reduce the impacts of catastrophic wildfires on preserve lands is the other area of interest. There are so many homeless people lying around and camping on sidewalks, freeway ramps and Caltrans properties next to the freeways, especially in the downtown, beaches and Midway areas. Maybe have smaller, more localized shelters around the city where they could go year San Diego round instead of just trying to get them all in one big winter shelter that fills up quickly. Like rest stops where they could shower, eat and get referred into some long term programs, etc. and maybe store some of their stuff. Please use TransNet to fund transit projects. San Diego needs a streetcar, ideally using the historic Class 1 streetcars to connect our downtown communities to Balboa Park and Uptown, or San Diego Little Italy and East Village, or all of the above. These cars would cost a fraction of the price of a modern streetcar and can still serve as practical urban circulator, helping to reduce congestion and stimulate the local economy. Thank you! It's time to initiate the airport move to the Miramar location. We need to re-engage with local representatives to put a plan in place for the next generation of San Diegans. An outside of the box idea: The marines build/expand a replacement air station at Camp Pendleton. Move MCRD San Diego to land east of Miramar. Build a new commercial airport at Miramar. The existing airport/MCRD land immediately becomes the most valuable vacant property on the west coast, and San Diego's new city center. Don't waste money on a stadium! Fix our streets, highways (specifically the Balboa Ave, Clairemont Mesa Boulevard/805 entrances and exits). I can't even get on the freeway there because of Cheaters using the through entrances and exits to get ahead of the traffic! And it San Diego was made worse by whatever the hell they are doing at 163 and Clairemont Mesa! Like we needed another light there. More and Better bike lanes and walk lanes! Trolley or Coaster Type Train up the 15. Fix Basic Infrastructure! Build a de-salination plant(s) large enough to serve the residents of San Diego County. Drop the "toilet-to-tap" program - especially in view of the situation in Flint, MI. San Diego Regardless of the El Nino, the De-Sal plants must be constructed NOW since we are in a desert zone and will always need backup water supplies. Construction of additional reservoirs must also begin now. Build reservoirs so the rain we do receive is preserved. To watch rainwater run west to the ocean causes many of us to shake our heads. Improve the delivery of good, clean drinking water to San San Diego Diegans. Put more crosswalks in areas where there is heavy pedestrian traffic. I drive down Adams Ave. and the bike access signs are so frequent it is laughable but crosswalks at much- used intersections are unmarked and dangerous to cross. There is a need for an express bus from inland north county (Peñasquitos) to the coast & UCSD. I San Diego have lived in Peñasquitos for 33 years. A huge portion of UCSD employees live in the inland corridor and commute to work as single riders. Relieve congestion on major roads using technology to better utilize traffic signals. Ex: Miramar Road is a nightmare during traffic hours. The arterial streets wait too long at signals before being allowed to enter Miramar Road It is extremely frustrating to sit at a red light when there San Diego is no cross traffic (especially during non-traffic hours). Sensors and cameras could solve this issue. Traffic on Miramar Road should be better controlled by signals to keep traffic flowing to the 15 and 805. San Diego I would like to see the Trolley extended to Balboa Park.

125 Place of Comments Residence Local bus transit in North City to relieve traffic congestion; specifically east-west on the Del Mar Heights Road corridor from Camino del Mar (and NCTD bus #101) to Pacific Highlands Ranch. San Diego Traffic is already bad and getting worse with growth of new developments. Longer distance commuters are part of the issue, but local residents on short trips, going to shop, school, recreation, library, beach etc. could be served by such a bus route. The roads and water delivery pipes need to be improved. The roadways throughout San Diego are in deplorable shape with potholes and rough roads everywhere. Then when a road is San Diego resurfaced it does not appear to be done in a way that will last. We are supposed to be conserving water but with our pipes and water mains breaking it appears we are wasting more water than we save. As a senior citizen living in North Inland San Diego (Rancho Bernardo) I am appalled at the lack of mass transit. Basically you can't get a bus from a city street in many areas without walking for San Diego miles (and heaven forbid you might want to go somewhere on a Sunday. In the Bay Area anyone can pretty much get anywhere from anywhere.

San Diego Extension of trolley routes/access to multiple cities in northern San Diego County.... I've lived in San Diego for 46 years & seen a lot of change for the worst. Infrastructure(Clean San Diego water, air , energy), open space(parks, housing), ease of transit(Public, Highway). It all matters. I see people walking in the bike lanes on Gilman Drive. This seems dangerous. It could be they do this because there is a bus stop on the side of the road on Gilman drive (at Villa La Jolla Drive San Diego intersection). This section of Gilman Drive (between La Jolla Colony and La Jolla Village Drive) needs to be safer for pedestrians and cyclists.

San Diego MORE BIKE INFRASTRUCTURE!!! And ease of getting to and from transit.

I would like to see an integrated full-scale network of bike paths (not sharrows or the lesser bike lane) throughout the urban core, and connecting all major higher education campuses together. San Diego Stop wasting money on expanding freeways or adding freeway lanes under the false premise of "rapid bus transit" or "car pool". No matter how you frame it, adding a lane to a freeway is bad for the environment and the quality of life and health of the people of our region.

San Diego I would just like to see them use our tax dollars more efficiently. Provide more alternate transportation venues; trolley' bus, rail, bicycle and a more San Diego comprehensive routes to use them. I want bicycling infrastructure improvements. I like the plans for new bike paths, but roads with bike lanes often drop the lanes for brief but dangerous sections. Cycling areas are often San Diego disconnected. Joining them is cheap and easy and would make biking from one area to another far safer. Preserving our beautiful natural habitats and open spaces is crucial. The open spaces we already have should be added to, but also maintained so that they are safe and welcoming. 1. Something needs to be done to eliminate the daily traffic jam on Route 52 from the 125 merge to Santo Road going Westbound during the morning rush hour. 2. Eliminate the rush hour signals on the 125 Southbound at I8. There appears to be enough San Diego land available in the medium to expand the merging lanes. Along with this something needs to be done at the Spring Street / 94 exit on the Southbound 125 to eliminate the backed up traffic at that exit during rush hours. San Diego Save. Our. Bolts. Expand the trolley beyond the North City extension (to the beach, airport, north county, etc.) San Diego More parks and DEDICATED open space in existing undeveloped canyons The freeways to and from the San Diego Tech Center/Sorrento Valley area are jammed every day. There is no public transportation in the area, and no use for a bus to try to wade through San Diego that mess. I would ride the Trolley every day if I could get from North Park to within 2 miles of my workplace (Carmel Mountain Road and El Camino Real). San Diego Extend trolley hours later and expand the destinations to beaches and other areas.

126 Place of Comments Residence Commuter trains to include I-15 corridor (i.e., Chicago, NYC). No more buildouts especially along San Diego 56 corridor. Animals are running out of room. Plus where are we to get additional water supply.

I want to see free bike rentals, improved local transit, and incentives for individuals and San Diego companies to reduce the lone person in a car problem. Trolley service and or rapid express to work locations in North County along I-5 to destinations and I-15 to destinations. Also, complete trolley service to UCSD and UTC and consider trolley San Diego service to the beaches from Old Town. Existing services all are infrequent or fall short of destinations. I would like a bus route that would run from Clairemont & UC all the way up Genesee to Torrey Pines. Right now I drive my 4.8 mile commute because the bus routes all terminate at UTC or UCSD. My route: 30 minutes on the 41, then either wait for a 101 (they run every half hour) for San Diego another 30 minute ride or walk the remainder (also 30 minutes). Genesee Avenue is packed with frustrated drivers. Please pass UCSD and deliver us to Scripps, Moores, TSRI, Burnham, and a bunch of biotech companies. Commuter traffic going to and from Sorrento Valley from the south is a mess. There is no way in or out except the overloaded I5 and I805. We badly need grade-separated transit in that area. San Diego The Coaster is not enough, it only goes downtown, where few people actually live. Please add more Coaster stations, or extend the trolley there, or build a grade-separated busway (real BRT, not the "BRT lite" we have in some areas), or something. Quit neurosing about building yet more stadiums and kissing the Chargers' asses and get the streets paved and the telephone poles removed. We have been waiting for a sidewalk adjacent San Diego the 965 bus stop at Isla Vista Drive and Euclid Avenue for over 25 years, will we ever see it or does one more stadium have to be built? Euclid Avenue is like a cow path, get it paved--if this were in La Jolla you can be damn sure it would be done pronto.

San Diego more elevated walkways at key intersections near schools and community centers Please bring us richer transit choices/routes and more frequent service for existing routes. Carry more bikes on buses. Make transit stops everywhere more pleasant and enjoyable to wait at. Shade, rain and wind protection! Especially in disadvantaged communities and routes with high San Diego ridership. Encourage the City of SD (and others!) to improve bike and ped infrastructure in the vicinity of transit stops for better 1st-last-mile connection, especially along auto-centric corridors like Balboa. San Diego Support High Speed Rail!!! San Diego Bike commuting options! The trolley hours need to be extended, making the last trolley leave C/5th station at 2:30am. This will allow for people to go to a bar or club until it closes (1:30-2:00am), get a quick bite to eat, and make it to the C/5th station. They can then use a cab or Uber/Lyft from their local San Diego trolley station, making the trip much cheaper. In the late, there have been numerous wrong way drivers on the freeways indicating a problem is on the rise. This would at least a solution to that problem. 1. Practical rail transportation to the airport. This is such an obvious need. 2. Bicycle-safe streets, especially on bike routes. This means fix the streets so that bikes don't San Diego crash in cracks and potholes. 3. Stop the destruction of trees in La Jolla and elsewhere. Trees are cut down and not replaced. Didn't there used to be a law about this in San Diego? San Diego Trolley everywhere. Trolley stops everywhere. Expand, expand, expand. It would be great to plan a trolley from the City Heights area to the UCSD area. As it is, even with the new line being built now to UCSD, one living in inner city areas would not be able to San Diego easily access this form of transit. Taking the bus from e.g., the University/40th street bus area to UCSD takes an hour and 19 minutes (or more depending on time of day). San Diego I would like to see a trolley line connecting the Mira Mesa area and University City.

127 Place of Comments Residence I like the skyway idea from Balboa park to downtown. We should fast track a trolley line to PB and up the 805...most notably the beach area. We have too many DUIs here. We absolutely need to preserve the San Diego River and increase access, bike paths, recreational and perhaps San Diego retail and restaurant improvements along the river. This has been neglected for far too long. Mission Valley was terribly deigned from the start and we need to do the best we can to reverse the course. 1. Trolley line from downtown SD to Old Town, UCSD, UTC, I-805 and Sorrento Valley. 2. Trolley from downtown SD along Park Boulevard to Qualcomm Stadium, Sharp/Rady Hospitals, Kearny San Diego Mesa Transit Center and I-15. 3. Eventual extension of both of these lines to Miramar College Transit Station. Thank you. We need a dedicated lane for all Rapid bus routes. We need to upgrade technology at Trolley San Diego Stations to attract choice riders (stored value cards, real-time arrival info, working signage/audio announcements, more frequency)

San Diego University Ave bike lanes in Hillcrest and North Park.

Rather than an increase in sales tax, we should better allocate our existing funding to invest in transit infrastructure that is going to attract the middle class; the only way to do that is to San Diego design it to take people where they actually need to go, to make it fast and frequent, and to make it a comfortable experience. When great transit is introduced in the right areas, the market will drive transit-oriented development that will not need to be subsidized. Transit expansion is important but I'm very concerned about safety. As main trolley stations do not have a ticket gates, I would hate to see safe neighbors get less safe (like the case when a San Diego trolley expanded to SDSU, the crime rates got up). If there is no such good ticket gate plan, I won't support transit. I would like to see completion of the San Diego River Bikeway/walk path finished before I die! I have copies of the plan from many, many years ago. I have ridden from Del Cerro to Mission San Diego Beach many times, taking a chance on my life on Friars Road much of the way. I have been on the river bike path in Sacramento and dream of such a path in San Diego. I also surf and would like to see a yway to capture more of the runoff and put it to use. SANDAG's board needs to get serious about investing in transit. If we're going to meet the San Diego state/regional/local goals for mode share and emissions, we need to invest MUCH more in transit projects, at a much quicker pace. I would like to see projects that implement safer multi-modal connectivity to the new trolley stops that will be part of the Mid-Coast Trolley extension. I think it is wonderful the extension is San Diego happening, but I am very concerned that the new trolley stops will be inaccessible for pedestrians or bicyclists. All public transit should be free paid for by a local tax on gas. The city is mandated by the new climate action plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A very large portion of the CO2 San Diego emissions in our city comes from personal vehicular use. The increased cost of gas coupled with a free option would have immediate and lasting effects on our CO2 production. Yes, this would be an extremely unpopular action today but if enacted would prove to be not only effective Return the streetcars in Mid-City instead of so-called "rapid" buses; Connect the trolley to the airport, the beaches, and Balboa Park; don't waste money on "skyways" that will bypass San Diego pedestrian-oriented street improvements and do nothing to increase the frequency of the existing transit services; add trolley/rail service on the I-15 corridor to Rancho Bernardo, Escondido, Fallbrook/Valley Center, and Temecula/Murietta. Bicyclists are taking way too much privilege and taking up the whole lane blocking traffic. They need to STAY in the bike lanes or ride SINGLE FILE as close to right edge of the road and stay San Diego clear of traffic and let traffic pass them, safely. I appreciate that people want to ride bikes and it's a good thing, but they need to be more respectful of car drivers. Many act like they "own" the road and they don't!!!

128 Place of Comments Residence Bicyclists are taking way too much privilege and taking up the whole lane blocking traffic. They need to STAY in the bike lanes or ride SINGLE FILE as close to right edge of the road and stay San Diego clear of traffic and let traffic pass them, safely. I appreciate that people want to ride bikes and it's a good thing, but they need to be more respectful of car drivers. Many act like they "own" the road and they don't!!! San Diego Improved transportation within the Torrey Pines Mesa Need more reservoirs for rain collection in times of drought. I suggest a system that transfers flood water from one state to state, e.g. when another state floods, a means s/b in plc to collect water by an underground waterways or pipes to move water. Need less car dealers & lg San Diego businesses in residential areas that block views or materials can be seen from backyards. We need consistent bike paths on busy St. & around intersections that integrate into main roads, which is unsafe. Clean river area. I have a high-functioning special needs son who is aging out of public education and transitioning to job training/employment. He will not be able to drive himself. The nearest bus San Diego stop is easily 3.5 miles from our home in Scripps Ranch. I would like to see more alternatives for accessing public transportation embedded in neighborhoods so that he, and others like him, can truly work on becoming independent, productive members of San Diego's work force. If we do not continue to expand our highways gridlock will ensue and our quality of life will fall San Diego drastically. San Diego Extend trolley service to San Diego airport. More/better mass transit throughout our region! It would cut down on emissions, traffic and increase efficiency of traveling throughout the region. Also concerned about multi-family San Diego housing unit proliferating older neighborhoods were there had been predominantly single family homes. The trolley needs to serve our more densely populated communities, and actually end in places of dense jobs such as Sorrento Valley, it desperately needs transit, the coaster exits but it's in a horrible spot for actual use, West of the 805 along Mira Mesa Boulevard would be more useful. San Diego Transit expansion is critical to growth of the region, Freeway expansion only induces supply fueled demand, and we need to increase density in the city, and remove the height limits throughout the city. Get the bottlenecks out of Route 52 both directions. 8-15-805 merges what a mess in such a short distance. San Diego S curve downtown nightmare. 94 - 125 connector Spring St. mess. 94 - 125 merge flowing North. We need to get traffic flowing not impeding traffic flow. I would like to see more bikeways as well as a better quality of bikeways. I sometimes have to San Diego use the street instead of the bikeway because there are plate-sized holes in the asphalt. Also a better illumination of bikeways would help to ride the bike safely at night. San Diego Concentrate on Infrastructure A sustainable water supply is key - or no one will be able to live here! We should be doing a San Diego better job of collecting the small amount of rainwater that we do receive and, more importantly, investing in desalinization plants like the one in Carlsbad. San Diego is in desperate need of more transportation options. As both an engine of economic development and a practical transit circulator that will reconnect our urban neighborhoods, the San Diego restoration of the historic Class 1 streetcars is the project that can provide the most overall benefit for the city of San Diego. Water is clearly important as it sustains life. All of nature is important and we must preserve our San Diego ecosystems. Transit is important as I use it to get places, and right now I don't like going anywhere because of how long it takes. San Diego trolley expansion Focus transit funding on areas that are already dense and already support transit. Throwing money at auto-dependent suburbs to establish less than minimal service that will not be used San Diego makes no sense and wastes scarce resources. Increase frequency and reliability where transit already makes sense.

129 Place of Comments Residence Light rail transit down the I-15 corridor from downtown to Riverside county and between I-15 San Diego and I-5 using the 56 corridor. Maintain good paving on bike lanes and road shoulders. Too many times bike lanes are ripped up for utility maintenance but never repaved properly. Road shoulders are always being San Diego degraded by tree roots, erosion, etc... I've seen roads repaved but only the portion of the road where a car drives, leaving the shoulder of the road in complete disrepair. Poor road quality makes for frustrating cycling. San Diego New stadium with a convention center expansion

Work on redeveloping neighborhood infrastructure so shopping locally and a sense of San Diego community are strengthened in more places than just the Metro neighborhoods. 1. Create a direct bus line between Hillcrest and UCSD. UCSD already runs a well-used shuttle between its campuses, but this is of limited use to people not living next to the hospital. 2. Connect the entrance ramp from the 52-W onto the 5-N and the exit ramp from the 5-N to San Diego Gilman/La Jolla Colony. The entrance ramp frequently gets backed up. Connecting them would allow more time to merge and allow people to move from the 52 to Gilman without needing to merge. Better and more frequent service from North County/northern San Diego into central and San Diego downtown San Diego. San Diego is in desperate need of more transportation options. The restoration of the historic Class 1 streetcars is the project that can provide the most overall local and tourist economic benefit for the city of San Diego. San Diego We could also be greatly serviced and graduated into the higher standards of other large metropolitan cities by providing safe protected bike lanes and widened, lighted and improved sidewalks. San Diego None. making the city more walkable and bikeable is my best suggestion - encouraging active and easy San Diego car-free transit! too many pedestrians are hurt or killed by cars, so anything to make the city safer for walking and biking people is great! More & better integrated HOV lanes. From SR 52 E to I 15 N, one must cut unsafely across 6 lanes to enter the HOV lane. San Diego Extend the Trolley up major freeways so people stalled in traffic can see them fly by. Better management of open spaces to reduce fire dangers. Even controlled burns if necessary. Improved city streets in combination with transit updates. Transit/carpool lanes on impacted San Diego streets (i.e., Mira Mesa Boulevard) I really like how there is more rail being planned across the city especially street cars down 4the San Diego and 5th Avenue connecting downtown and Hillcrest and the trolley going down el Cajon Boulevard. Stop widening roads to alleviate traffic. Invest in transit, which will also help encourage people San Diego towards active transportation. Add more bike racks to buses, i.e., make it possible for buses to carry more bicycles than the paltry two that they currently do. San Diego is sorely lacking in habitat linkages and trails that are planned to avoid impacts to San Diego wildlife. Many other major cities have natural open space along their rivers and mountains - but ours are developed and polluted. This needs to be addressed. Open up more legal mountain bike multi-use trails. Ones that are not 8-10 ft. graded pathways but single track trails that connect areas of the city together. Work with the Marine Base to San Diego open up trail system at Mission Trail Regional Park and get a connector to Sycamore canyon. The marines are ticketing and taking bikes until though the trails are not clearly marked. This forces more illegal trail building since people are pushed further away to enjoy the outdoors.

130 Place of Comments Residence CODE ENFORCEMENT: make land owners clean up their hillsides. Don't just send letters that the owner can ignore. Enforce the codes and do it quickly! Post signs: Land owners are responsible for trimming the trees and San Diego clearing trash: city code ______(insert code # here) and put that sign on the hillside that is full of trash. and mail a registered letter to land owner, giving them 30 days to comply.

no more freeway expansion. Let's think out of the box with our amazing weather so much more San Diego can be done to improve mobility. Please expand SR-56 to 4 lanes each way. It's badly needed with all the new construction. Thank San Diego you. Interstate 5/State Route 56 Interchange Project, including connectors between SR-56 West & I-5 San Diego North, and SR-56 East & I-5 South The 56 Highway needs a third lane each direction. It is already a parking lot during the rush San Diego commute, and there are hundreds of new homes about to contribute thousands of commuters to be merging onto the 56 soon. San Diego Compass cards that can store value instead of reloading for every trip. Light rail going through Clairemont would be great. Also more bike lanes and dedicated bike San Diego paths. San Diego expanded trolley service throughout the city / county Having traveled in cities in Europe I'm astounded at how convenient their public transit is San Diego compared to us. We should have comparable trolley, metro, and bus services like London, Berlin, Milan, etc. City of San Diego needs to actively pursue projects to capture storm water for reuse through ground filtration. Additionally, storm water runoff onto Wind and Sea Beach, and other beaches needs to end. The San Diego River needs constant environmental monitoring for trash San Diego removal. Outdated water delivery systems need updating! SANDAG should partner with the Surfrider Foundation H2O committee to accomplish some of the environmental clean-up tasks. Please contact me for more information. Transit corridor along Scripps Poway Parkway, connect the 235 Rapid trough to the workplaces - San Diego - thousands of people work out there but don't live near there.

Mission Valley walking/hiking connection to Mission Bay park. Boating connection from Mission San Diego Bay to San Diego Bay

More walk-able streets, crosswalks and traffic calming on busy residential streets (i.e., West San Diego Point Loma Boulevard) San Diego Trolley service should come to north county inland area of the county. Improving roads is most important in San Diego. The county is simply too spread out to make mass transit feasible. Improvements should focus on choke points. Widen the southbound exit at San Diego Balboa/Garnet. Add a Northbound entrance to La Jolla Parkway. Widen the exits at Via de la Valle. Widen connectors onto/off of 52 and 805/5. Add HOV/local bypass lanes for 805 and 5. HIGHWAYS: We need the full allocation of funds for highways and/or roads in San Diego Forward to go to that and not siphoned off for more transit for which it was not agreed. Until SANDAG can be fiscally responsibility to allocate as legislated, don't expect any more tax money. San Diego CITY PROJECTS: fix the roads and streets. We already gave you the money. HABITAT CONSERVATION: Either let us or get those crews in the canyons to clean them to reduce wildfires.

131 Place of Comments Residence Transit solutions to avoid highway and city-center parking construction benefit many areas, but they need to be feasible and timely to work well. Converting part of the highways to train San Diego and/or express bus lanes would help make such a system possible with local park and ride facilities, such as is done in Chicago. A better master plan for Mission Valley with much less dense development. Current planning is San Diego allowing for too much congestion to the roads and highways already in place. SANDAG should lobby the San Diego city and county to not pour valuable resources that could San Diego be used in the above areas (city projects/habitat/active transportation) into a football stadium. Special convenient transportation between downtown / the harbor / Balboa Park and close neighborhoods (Bankers Hill, Hillcrest, Old Town, Mission Hills, University Heights, North Park, South Park, Golden Hill, Normal Heights). So much population is concentrated in these areas. San Diego The old fashioned (or new) trolley would be too expensive, but something similar and better than busses. We have one of the most dynamic inner cities in the world. It's a shame it's not better, more easily connected. Start fixing our crumbling infrastructure, noticeably streets (cracks, potholes), storm drains, San Diego bridges (e.g., Coronado ratings). Invest in world class teachers. Tax us no more until these critical and long overdue items are adequately addressed. I'd like to see serious reduction of regional greenhouse gas emissions. Any goal or project would be defeated by a runaway greenhouse. Records show that because of our dry air the San Diego San Diego area sees greenhouse warming first and most. http://eastcountymagazine.org/why-san-diegos- east-county-global-warming-hotspot It's time to start widening the 56 freeway! With the vast number of new homes being built on both sides of the 56 between Camino Del Sur and the 5, especially along Carmel Valley Road, it's San Diego time to break ground and get started on expanding the 56. It's already a bottleneck during rush hours and is only going to become a bigger headache/nightmare once all these residences are occupied. San Diego Adding an extra regular lane in each direction on highway 56 between I-5 and I-15.

Connect the West side of the SR-56 bike path to the Sorrento Valley Road bike path.

"Sharrows" and signage that promotes cycling as a 1st-class option. San Diego Increase transit & ride share options in areas with highway congestion at rush hour (805 between I-15 & Sorrento Valley; I-5 between 56 & Oceanside). There must be realistic options for traveling between transit stops and the final destination. FORGET TRANSIT, concentrate right now on existing traffic! FIX THE GRIDLOCK, start in areas around Sorrento Valley. Time the stop lights, San Diego No more HOV lane nonsense, let single car drivers use them during rush hour. Fix the traffic problems that exist right now San Diego Priority needs to be our highways which are now in almost gridlock. Gondola is a great idea. I'd like to see more spent on maintaining roads. They are horrible even San Diego by third world standards Improve coordination between civic groups and the city/county regarding public space and San Diego funds. Bureaucracy to access city and county funding for projects is extreme....needs streamlining. Widening I-15 southbound in Murphy Canyon - in particular continuing the carpool lanes all the San Diego way to I-8. I presume this is in the plans - what is the schedule? It routinely takes 30 minutes to go the 5 miles from the 163/15 split to I-8 any time in the late afternoons. Roadway improvements that get us through the immediate crisis, with vision to accommodate San Diego technology - smart streets driverless vehicles.

132 Place of Comments Residence Develop a "Riverwalk" (like in San Antonio) at the site of Qualcomm Stadium, connecting to the Ocean Beach bike trail and extending eastward to San Vicente Damn. San Diego Second idea: Connect Mission Bay to San Diego Bay, recreating the original river before it was redirected between OB and Mission Beach. Countless opportunities for great walking and cycling paths. Fix the roads and potholes. It's like a war zone out there trying to avoid holes and uneven San Diego surfaces. Please explain why you need a tax increase? What is your current budget? When was your last San Diego tax increase? Please tell us why you cannot accomplish projected improvements with the current budget and what your staff, salary, executive packages and operating costs are. I want to see more habitat conservation IN CONJUNCTION with active transportation. Not as you have done by purchasing the Zamudio property in Del Mar Mesa Preserve, only to shut the San Diego existing trail down and ban human activity. That trail has been used by people commenting to work by mountain bike for well over a decade. We need more trail access, not less - our lives and children's lives are being more and more fenced off from the natural world. For a major city that gets many tourists our Transit System goes to sleep too early. Sure we have late night trolleys BUT you have to have a car to get home. You need to have some late night buses for those of us and tourists who want to have a life after dark. Most of the routes shut San Diego down too early. Buses from downtown stop too early. Think of tourists and those people who don't drive. We like to go out too and be able to get home without spending $$$ on a cab or Uber San Diego is almost all growed up now, so I'd like to see substantially expanded trolley lines. San San Diego Diego is in desperate need of light rail that would increase access and efficiency between the San Diego metro area and North County. I am especially interested to see where the skyway gondola project can go. It seems an unique San Diego and cost-effective alternative to congested bus lines or expanded trolley lines. Better bus service. Routes to where people go. It is very difficult to go to Balboa park from most of the city. too many transfers are required and you have to pay again for each leg. On Saturday San Diego and Sunday there is little coverage. They stop too early at night. You cannot depend on the public transportation in this town. You really must have a car. Is this all of the survey??? Not hardly worthwhile. Sea walls in beach communities are collapsing. Some are being refurbished, but not enough and not as well as original walls. As sea levels rise, these communities must be protected, as primary San Diego tourist attractions in the region. Also, in terms of habitat, San Diegans must be educated about using California native plants in their gardens to replenish local habitat, conserve water, reduce heat islands, and provide a source of food and shelter to local birds and bees. Light rail to north inland is needed. There is service east, south and north coastal, but north San Diego inland is left out. Fix the city streets. Some of the streets are like 3rd world countries. I fully support the sales tax increase, as well as a hotel tax increase. Also, we need to focus more on sustainable energy and car electrification. We have the will, I have noticed, but our leaders San Diego are often a few steps behind. Also, renovate the Sports Arena please, and clean up the San Diego River and turn it into an asset instead of an ignored liability. There is a great opportunity to do something special there and so far the master River plan has been little but lip-service.

San Diego more bike lanes to make commuting by bike a safe reality

San Diego Keep streets clean of trash. Trolley stations up I-5/Morena need to have a lot of easily accessible parking in order to be a San Diego viable transportation alternative. Move forward with Community Choice Aggregation! Please!! Infrastructure maintenance and improvements in general and sewerage improvements in San Diego particular we need transit options that allow us no-carbon alternatives to cars. I will not vote for a tax San Diego unless the plan includes more than a token effort in this direction.

133 Place of Comments Residence Establish guidelines to rate the appearance of infrastructure with the goal of improvement. I drove through La Jolla Cove yesterday and was reminded how often our roads and sidewalks San Diego look like a scene out of a third world country. I've literally seen better pavement marking and less concrete patchwork in Fallujah after Phantom Fury. San Diego Road maintenance and resurfacing. I live in University City and I would like to see the completion of the Clairemont Mesa Boulevard San Diego - Regents Road collector roadway including the construction of the Regents Road Bridge across Rose Canyon. I support the Skyway/Gondola proposal. In addition to its transportation benefits, it could San Diego become a hallmark of San Diego, perfect for tourists and locals. Is there a plan to bring the trolley to the ever growing Otay Ranch developments within a short time? Even at 6 lanes, Olympic Parkway, main road through the area, is becoming busier as each San Diego housing development area is completed. A trolley line through the area would work well to reduce traffic, encourage the use of public transit. Don't build for yesterday's priorities. Invest in active transportation & mass transit to allow the city to grow sustainably. Don't invest in highway expansion which a) doesn't improve long-term San Diego traffic patterns, and b) is based on models that are too uncertain given technological breakthroughs with self-driving cars The foremost critical need is to get rid of proposition 13 and make every homeowner in SD county pay their fair share of HO tax. To avoid hardships, this could be deferred for San Diego grandfathered low income home-millionaires until their home gets sold or inherited, but at that point, full HO tax should be withheld retro-actively, including interest. This would probably allow to reduce HO tax to <1%. We need safer bikeways in highly congested areas such Hillcrest and the College area to provide more options for getting around. The extension of the trolley to La Jolla is a great investment in San Diego our community for alternative transportation. These and the rapid buses should be expanded to reduce the increasing congestion on the highways.

San Diego Repave the horrible, crumbling streets; co-invest in more convenient EV charging facilities

Need to expand the "Silver Line Concept" up park boulevard (There's a study on the shelf) that would connect Balboa Park, The Zoo, the uptown area with downtown. Or emulate what Los San Diego Angeles, Seattle and San Francisco's Muni rail lines and again, connect downtown with uptown follow up 5th Avenue, and going down 4th in a loop. I only chose highways because you didn't offer "None of the Above." To me this whole project rests on an incorrect assumption--that of unlimited growth in San Diego County. In the original San Diego surveying "No Growth" was not an option, so this whole outcome is flawed. Given the current status, again you have limited the options, one should be "No increased taxes." I am not particularly anti-tax, I am anti-frivolous decision making.

San Diego Street repair must be top priority. Too much dangerous decay out there!

We need better public transportation options all over San Diego. I work in the nightlife industry, and parking downtown is miserable, even more so using baseball games and special San Diego events. Having a reliable mass transit option - that serves the public until after 2am - would be much welcomed, and would help reduce drunk driving incidents. Most other major cities have mass transit past bar closing hours. Also, public transportation to the airport is long overdue. More and better bike lanes. Improve maintenance on existing bike lanes and roads. Road and San Diego bike lane quality is horrible and embarrassing. Carpool lanes to help with congestion on highways. Before we can move forward, we need to make the necessary repair and improvement to what San Diego already exists. San Diego Trains, buses & trolleys connecting all parts of San Diego so that cars are no longer needed.

134 Place of Comments Residence Please build roundabouts instead of intersection after intersections of lights. Also, please connect the trolley to the Coaster station in Sorrento Valley--it's so shortsighted to leave a gap San Diego between the two. Last, a bike trail that parallels the train tracks across Peñasquitos Lagoon (similar to the Mount Vernon Trail in Northern Virginia) would be so very useful.

San Diego IMPROVED AND EXPANDED BUSING AND TRAIN OPTIONS

I would love to have available public transportation. I live in Point Loma and to get to my work near USD by bus I must walk .5 to the first bus stop and transfer twice. The trip takes San Diego approximately an hour and 15 minutes. I can drive it the same distance in about 10 minutes. And this is true of all public transportation. I grew up in San Diego and I took the bus to Mission Valley, downtown, Hillcrest and La Jolla. What has happened? We don't need denser communities until the road system is fixed and the highways can support San Diego the current population.

Protected bikeways San Diego Road diets

Pedestrian/bike bridge crossing Florida Canyon: starting along Alabama Street (south of San Diego intersection with Upas Street), paralleling Morley Field Drive as it spans Florida Canyon, and connecting to the intersection of Park Boulevard and Morley Field Drive. San Diego Continue the expansion of the trolley I would like to see additional freeway lanes constructed and highways widened for the way people really drive in San Diego County. This would reduce the mind-numbing traffic that has San Diego been caused by useless HOV lanes and useless/dangerous bicycle lanes that are underutilized. I will not vote for additional taxes to be wasted on empty trolleys All of the above are equally important. Regarding the transit situation, people are not giving up San Diego their cars to use public transportation since there limited access near their work place Quit taking away lanes on surface streets and converting to bike lanes that nobody uses. Stop San Diego trying to force us into your Utopian world of carpool and bike lanes. Trolley expansion to cover yet more areas (Otay Mesa border crossing, more uptown and San Diego midtown), expansion of bike trails all over the city to make it easier to bike to work with limited risk of accident, overall habitat conservation. San Diego Take care of existing infrastructure that is deteriorating rapidly, before funding new projects.

Another 1/2 cent tax??? San Diego No Way!!! City Projects means where I live. I want transportation that helps me get around my neighborhood. San Diego I don't care about downtown - I'm sick to death of downtown and tired of paying for elitist play areas. I care about my 5 mile area where I live that the closest bus stop is 1 mile away and train stop - you have to drive 5 miles to. I live in Del Mar Hts.

San Diego Proyecto niños sanos y comunidades mas dignas y seguras.

I'd like to see rainwater recapture projects in municipal and commercial areas, especially, San Diego including the use of pervious pavements wherever possible. I'd also like to see solar umbrellas over parking lots all over the city. Real bike paths - not just a lane on the road next to traffic but a dedicated transit way for bikes. Lanes on roads are not much safer than cycling with traffic as now cars see you in your own lane so they can squeeze and speed pass you. Plus, conversion of car lanes and bike lanes at San Diego intersections are a new source of confusion, impatience and potential accidents. There are many people eager to cycle but not with traffic. Provide clear bike ways, remove parking, and watch the cyclists come out.

135 Place of Comments Residence San Diego Affordable housing near public transit

1. Upkeep of surface streets and freeways. Shovels filled with tarred asphalt to fix potholes is a very temporary solution and certainly not in alignment with "San Diego's Finest City" San Diego promotion. Roadwork throughout San Diego County is needed to protect the lives of pedestrians, bicyclists, moped and motorcycle riders and automobiles. Deep potholes cause potential accidents and injuries to all San Diegans. Please take responsibility. Massive road repair. I am tired of feeling as in a third world country ruining tires an and quick pothole fixes that don't last.. Proper bike lanes instead of painted bicycles in major roadways like Catalina and Canon in Point Loma. Slow bicycles on these major commuter routes would be San Diego a disaster. Lastly, please improve the terrible entrance to Interstate 5 North from Sea World Drive. One long line waiting that turns into a short two lane entry. People cut in at the last minute constantly. I would like to protest the raising of sales tax to provide additional funds to SANDAG. I propose instead that SANDAG better utilize funds it already receives. There are many ways this can be San Diego done. Rather than purchasing new vehicles on a schedule, vehicles should be assessed for service life extensions. There are very few reasons vehicles should be disposed of prior to 200k miles if they have been driven and maintained properly. . I am dedicated to the homeless program, Housing First, which gives people a safe home base in San Diego order to participate in recovery, mental health and job training programs. You try doing any of that while living on the street. Manage the tax income in the most cost-effective way; control pension costs and use the savings for all of these projects. Please start with infra-structure. When SANDAG states the it is San Diego leveraging local, regional, state and federal dollars with our tax dollars, do not forget that those are all taxpayers' dollars. I would like to see SANDAG stop trying to control where and how I live. You are not to be Busybodies, but to aid transportation. San Diego WE (citizens) are free to select where and how we live. Then you fit transportation to our choices. No one has ever elected you dictators to replace our freedom with our serfdom. Traffic, transit in Central San Diego same for 25 yrs. 805 clog Miramar to I8 unaddressed - drivers San Diego using our Clairemont and LV neighborhoods as thoroughfares. improve transit options along the route of the new trolley to meet that demand until the system is built out. We need more beaches similar to PB or Mission bay so we get a chance to walk and improve our San Diego daily life. More locations at north will be great. Also, please pay attention to freeways with LOS D and F during peak hours. Thank you Enforce vagrancy laws, panhandling laws, public nuisance laws, lurking laws etc. etc. to get the homeless encampments---especially downtown, in view of tourists and conventioneers---broken San Diego up, once and for all. Where do they go? Single occupancy rooms and dormitories, LOTS of them, to get these people stabilized and receiving necessary public health services etc. There has to be an END to allowing all these people "piling up" all over San Diego but especially downtown. Updating infrastructure as in old water pipes, putting power lines underground, and converting city buildings to solar power would help in many ways. Water quality is a great concern, San Diego especially if you want people to hydrate properly. High visibility bike lanes to ensure bike riders safety through all areas possible. I would like to see a light rail service provided up the I - 15 corridor from the border to Temecula. I know this is a decade or more to do, but a start could be made with dedicated, San Diego limited stop, bus service using the HOV lanes. Something like this is already being done in Europe. The more people we can put on transit, the less environmental impact on our county. Better public Transit. Currently the Trolley doesn’t go to the beaches or the airport, nor does it San Diego run late at night.

136 Place of Comments Residence San Diego Expansion of safe bike paths It is imperative that students in California have a safe way to get to and from school, work, and extracurricular activities on a daily basis. Students should receive no cost youth transit passes, grades K-Community College. San Diego All students should ride the public transportation available in the jurisdiction, both metro bus and metro rail, without cost. Students will be required to present a valid student identification card in order to access the service. Funding for accelerated progress and completion of planned bicycle network projects including Uptown, North Park Mid-City, Bayshore Bikeway, Pershing and all EAP bikeway projects. Safe, San Diego connected and protected bikeways will provide alternative transportation choices that will also help to meet our area mode share and Climate Action Plan targets. We must prioritize implementing active transportation and projects. High speed rail service both north and east. That would include four track main line to L.A. and Riverside/ San Bernardino. San Diego Better interchange at 15/8/94/Home Ave. Street and infrastructure repair Allow riders to load $. MTS was supposed to do this in 2013 but makes all kinds of excuses for why it can't. It's not that difficult (e.g., LA, Seattle) Also let card be loaded for day that begins when card is loaded & ends 24 hours later. Current San Diego system ensures that riders will always feel cheated when buying a day pass. If I could load Compass card for a set number of trips or a true 24-hour period, I WOULD use the transit system. With the current system, no way San Diego is in desperate need of more transportation options. As both an engine of economic development and a practical transit circulator that will reconnect our urban neighborhoods, the San Diego restoration of the historic Class 1 streetcars is the project that can provide the most overall benefit for the city of San Diego. While transit and active transportation projects should be included, the focus should continue to be on highway projects, with balanced approaches similar to the North Coast Corridor project. San Diego The topography of SD County and commuting patterns are too complex for alternative transportation only. Our links to areas north of the county are overwhelming our primary corridors. Add east-west transit in North City, specifically along Del Mar Heights Road. Something to connect the Carmel Valley / Pacific Highlands Ranch villages to the coastal cities of Del Mar & Solana Beach to the west. San Diego Additionally, providing local loop shuttles to bring people in communities in to the "town center" would be great. It seems like most transit is concentrated on commuters rather than movement of people for daily errands. San Diego More parks, extend hwy.52 bike trail to the ocean it would be great to get streets paved. I'm all in favor of bike lanes, but they need to be reasonable in size - NOT TAKING UP THE ENTIRE LANE OF THE ROAD San Diego recently on the news they made a big deal about a neighborhood that is all underground with their wires - I felt like the city just doesn't care about my neighborhood - my lines aren't scheduled for 35 more years - let's move this time frame up and get all of the neighborhoods done in the next 10 years I'm a SD native but lived in Chicago for 5yrs & used the CTA every day. SD really needs to think about adding rail lines along (or in the median) of our freeways, similar to the CTA EL. I would take the trolley from my home (North Park) to my office (RB) if there was a line. The "rapid" bus San Diego isn’t efficient. It's almost 2hrs (one way!) vs a 20 min drive. People will use transit if it can get you to where you want to go. We don't need more freeways or carpool lanes & the pollution that comes with.

137 Place of Comments Residence Car-based traffic and air quality are getting horrendous, as bad as Los Angeles. We need public San Diego transit, specifically fast, frequent train services all over the city, fed by frequent bus services to each station. I would like to see direct trolley service to the airport. Trolley service along the I-15 corridor with San Diego a stop at the airport would be ideal. I also feel it is imperative to construct another saltwater conversion plant, or use "toilet to tap" technology to ensure enough water for the region. In 2015, the U.S. Surgeon General released a Call to Action on walkable communities called "Step It Up." I would like to see a continued effort in building a walking community by coupling Safe Route to School program with "Step It Up" call to encourage more physical activities San Diego among SD residents. Besides the health benefits associated with regular physical activities, a walking community can also bring multiple generations together, which will result in improved mental well-being among seniors. Suggestion: Part 1 This is something that would take an initial major investment but which I think could do wonders in terms of improving the transportation, safety, and healthfulness of our community. I San Diego would like to see a series of elevated "bicycle freeways" created throughout the region. These would take many bicyclists off of the streets and put them on "bicycle freeways" where it would be much safer to ride. San Diego San Diego Coastal Trail completion and coast to Crest trail completion. We have too many agencies with overlapping control and influence. Between the City Council, Port district, environmentalists, air quality, water control, resources, etc., etc., etc., it is no wonder San Diego can never get anything done. Not to mention all the fees and costs of all San Diego these needless groups to interfere in every little thing the city wants to do. This, and all the stupid state control groups, it is too many hurdles to jump. Go visit a city that gets things done, and learn something.

I DO NOT WANT MY TAXES RAISED. I WAS OPPOSED TO THE FIRST TAX INCREASE AND DOUBLY OPPOSED TO ANOTHER (ITS THE CLASSIC SLIPPERY SLOPE THEORY IN ACTION AGAIN!). DO A STUDY DONE ON HOW SANDAG CAN OPERATE MORE EFFICIENTLY CUTTING MORE WASTE SO San Diego OUR TAXES CAN BE LOWERED. TAXES FROM SO MANY SOURCES KEEP EATING INTO MY FIXED INCOME AND STANDARD OF LIVING. PLEASE STOP RAISING MY TAXES! I HOPE THERE IS A CONSERVATIVE ON YOUR PANEL THAT UNDERSTANDS WHAT I'M SAYING.

I would like to see San Diego have people getting exercise and drinking water because if the San Diego more car that go by the more pollution we have and we get sick.

Please invest our tax dollars wisely and invest in YOPs! I would like to see more programs to get homeless out of the streets and also designated San Diego protected bike lanes throughout the city, like they have in Seattle (http://www.seattle.gov/transportation/pbl.htm) Implementing the 2015 RTP will not appreciably reduce the region's greenhouse (GHG) gas emission, but all of the cities with approved or draft climate action plans call for significant GHG reductions. SANDAG must use newer rapid transit methods, advance transit projects/funding, San Diego and align with what the cities actually need to improve their climate action plans. The region's GHG emissions threaten to seriously undermine the billions of dollars spent/to-be-spent for habitat conservation. Increased connectivity (particularly E-W) of transit and active transportation opportunities. Major arterials like Mira Mesa Boulevard, Balboa Ave, etc. modified with light rail /dedicated San Diego bus and bike lanes. Decrease traffic flow, and speeds, such that the alternatives begin to look more attractive. Crucially - connect to N-S systems (coaster, trolley, etc.) so that people can get to multiple destinations using alternative modes; not just A-B (that is not how people live) We need a regional parking lot for truck drivers to park overnight. Currently I see large rigs parking in neighborhoods, when they should have a "truck stop" at which they could refuel and San Diego rest before driving again. I suggest any location where two or more major freeways come together, like the 805 and 52 freeways, or the 15 and 52 freeways. Not particular on the location, just trying to convey the concept! Compass card is rigid. I am limited to buying a month or day pass & tapping my card (like a fancy ticket). In other metro cities, the card is used in many ways with FLEXIBILITY to add value & pay as you go for transit options. Refer to Oyster & Octopus Card in London & Hong Kong. Please San Diego require payment prior to stepping onto trolley platform. I don't understand how any system would allow people to board on an honor system. Requiring payment first will reduce transients & crime on the trolley Investment in alternatives to auto travel seems critical to keeping San Diego a livable region. My concern stems from my commute to work. A twenty minute drive but a 2.5 to 3 hour commute on transit, could be much longer if a connection is missed. My bike commute is much shorter at San Diego about 50 min but here i must compete with high speed car traffic along Kearny villa road which is a big drawback since safety is also a concern. We need better paved bike lanes and better transit links, We should make a river front park near Qualcomm. San Diego We must improve and popularize the trolley and busses, they must be more efficient in order to be popular. I love the City of Villages proposal, where several high-density residential areas are made San Diego transportation hubs and also made more attractive to live in by the addition of parks, schools, doctors’ offices, etc. I would love to see East Mission Valley be one of these village hubs!

142 Place of Comments Residence More public transportation. Now that I am retired and use my car less, I need more reliable San Diego public transportation. We need community choice aggregation with renewable energy for the entire county. We need our leaders to be looking real carefully at our water supply to make certain the Flint disaster San Diego cannot happen here. We need transportation that makes sense, is quick, clean and comfortable, on time, and goes everywhere in the county. Otherwise people will never leave their cars at home. I would like to see the trolley system expanded and it's benefits advertised so, that more people San Diego would use public transportation on a daily basis. San Diego More reservoirs. While I like having safe walking and biking, I don't support getting rid of car lanes to San Diego accommodate them. Particularly when I see many bicyclists running stop signs, and red lights, and ignoring most traffic laws. Use the new transit stations along the I-15 Managed Lanes to offer special transportation San Diego services (including for seniors) to sporting and cultural events downtown. Any land saved in its wild state, and buffered by open space, is my top top top priority. Natural San Diego spaces to see, to wander, to explore... breathing room as opposed to a sea of roofs, sidewalks, or even proscribed trails with "open hours"... Spend the money on the folks you got the money from. The more the light rail is expanded the more money it loses. The bicycle riders pay nothing directly to the Highway/Road funds. The San Diego public roads are an embarrassment. In spite of those facts I continue seeing money thrown away while the vast majority DRIVE on pot holed roads. The roads are smoother in some 3rd world countries. Habitat and water projects benefit all.

San Diego Please solve or try to solve the homeless problem in San Diego.

Washington Street and University Avenue in Mission Hills and Uptown are used by commuters as San Diego a freeway bypass to avoid the congested Hwy 5 and Hwy 8 interchange. Are there any plans to improve that interchange to keep freeway traffic out of local communities? I checked transit above because I recently lost auto access, and I notice that in my area of North Park, where there used to be a bus stop about 2 blocks away, I would now have to walk about San Diego 15 blocks in order to take a bus. I am a senior on a fixed income and even the metro transportation available [at a not-inexpensive fare] is only offered at regular bus stops. Haven't researched the reason for the lack, but I've experienced and felt the existing lack.

San Diego Expanded and reliable rapid transit Replace asphalt city & neighborhood sts. with cement. It’s more attractive, environmentally sound, cooling & resists potholes & premature degradation. Costs more upfront but lasts longer. Notice how improved a neighborhood looks when its streets are paved with cement & how run San Diego down when paved with asphalt. In my neighborhood of Mission Hills asphalt streets. have been rising, layer upon layer, to the point that we’ve lost our curbing & gutters in places or have lumpy, uneven sides as an alternative. Immediate traffic jam relief is needed near the construction at the Genesee off-ramp of the 5- San Diego Fwy South! Please extend the duration of the right turn arrow onto Genesee Ave and move the cones further north where the Sorrento Valley Road on-ramp merges with the 5-Fwy South. I think we also need urban greening projects and complete streets. The more street trees, the better for both livability and also for reducing the heat island effect. Street trees, especially San Diego those that provide shade for pedestrians, add tremendous value to our communities - aesthetic value, economic value, and psychological value vis a vis our well-being. SANDAG shows callous disregard for the carnage caused by their support for more automobile San Diego traffic. We need more and safer paths for bikes, skates, and pedestrians. SANDAG needs to increase support for public transit and decrease support for highways.

143 Place of Comments Residence For transit, I'd like to see additional bus stops around the Black Mountain (north and south San Diego bound) in Mira Mesa. I hope to see new routes along Black Mountain road. Currently, all bus stops are mainly along Mira Mesa Boulevard. 1. Skyways - This is very intriguing. Seems like it has far fewer imminent domain issues, right -of- ways, red tape, etc. For transit, why not save $billions$ to connect previously unconnected stops. WOULD LIKE TO SEE A TIME/COST ANALYSIS San Diego 2. Water conservation- If we can spend $zillions$ on solar panels, which are heavily subsidized, how about a subsidized program for recycling household gray water? How about a subsidized PURPLE PIPE PROJECT OR HOUSEHOLD GRAY WATER RECYCLING? The road paving needs to happen faster - my car is getting torn apart by the potholes in my San Diego neighborhood (92117). Also, more walking paths and fenced dog parks! Our family want the City to provide trash bins for plant waste.. Just like the Blue Recycle Bins that are available from the City. Currently residence have to provide their own bins.. Sometimes those bins are not picked up for whatever reason. We do not need more highways! We need San Diego more HOV lanes which our family use daily together. We need to have more parks. We need to protect our natural habitat surrounding beaches, mountains, lakes etc. Keep Sea World in San Diego! I want to see streetcars and light rail back on the streets in SD, especially in downtown San Diego connecting to uptown and the beaches. I would like to see public transportation in San Diego such that a large portion (perhaps 90%) of the region's residents are within walking distance of a bus from their homes, work and San Diego shopping. The bus routes should intersect with new light rail lines to run within existing freeways - either within median strips or by reducing freeway lanes. I think public transit is most important right now, in light of our commitment to reduce GHG emissions drastically. I would like to be able to take the bus to anywhere, as long as they are available at a 10 to 15 minute walking distance from my home. That is certainly not true right San Diego now. I have to drive to the transit station to take the bus, which defeats the purpose. I'd also like to see more frequent buses, and a better way to park the car, if we have to drive to the transit station. I think that transportation and environmental issues go hand-in-hand, as taking more cars off the road and getting people outside both reduces pollution and waste, and increases citizens' San Diego awareness of the outdoor environment. San Diego & Southern California are horribly backwards in the realm of mass transit and walkability, and should have implemented better plans yesterday, if not decades ago. Need mass transit for 805 corridor (trolley or high speed rail). Stop building in UTC area and Sorrento Valley when most population lives in mid-city and south San Diego bay. Trolley connection to airport. This is a no brainer! City planning should keep in mind within a couple years self-driving cars will arrive and will San Diego change traffic patterns as well as reduce the need for infrastructure and mass transit improvements in 10-15 years. Adequate funding of public transportation is very important to a well-run community. I support San Diego increasing the share of funding that goes to public transportation at the cost of roads and highways. - The Trolley should provide access to the most urban areas of San Diego, not far-flung suburbs: - Trolley to Balboa Park/North Park/City Heights San Diego - Trolley to Pacific Beach/Mission Beach/Ocean Beach - Narrowing of roads to facilitate slower speeds and wider sidewalks/bike lanes - Stop spending money on massive highway projects - they induce more traffic Public transit takes nearly twice as long and costs roughly the same as driving to get anywhere. Buses sit in the same traffic as automobiles and are ineffective. Currently half of San Diego San Diego drives North in the daytime and it's ludicrous. A rail system going from Downtown to North Park to Claremont to UTC would be fantastic especially if it connected with the current rail system near Qualcomm; it should have very few stops and connections to trollies at each of these stops'

144 Place of Comments Residence main thoroughfares.

North Park and Hillcrest are hi-concentration areas that desperately need public transport other than city buses to access UC San Diego. Thousands of UCSD employees and students live in these San Diego neighborhoods and have no choice but to drive in their own cars, clogging the already jammed 5/8/805 corridors. (There is a small shuttle run by UCSD from Hillcrest hospitals, but it's totally inadequate and far from North Park.) I'd like to see more attention paid to keeping the trees on public lands and not losing them to the drought. We also need to fix our roads. Adding more FasTrak sections would be helpful. San Diego Lastly, we need to do something about homelessness. It's become a lifestyle choice for some. We need to assist those who are homeless through no fault of their own, and help those who need rehab or other services to get them off the streets. The streets and sewers in the La Jolla Village, including coming down La Jolla Parkway, are San Diego outrageous, considering the taxes we pay! Potholes, cracks in the streets and sidewalks, sewers that burst, etc. Tree maintenance on City property, especially Palms is also hazardous!

San Diego Actual mass transit to beaches and popular neighborhoods.

San Diego Extend the HOV lane on 805S past the 52 A larger convention center is important to attract more tourists ($). Safer and easily accessed walkways too. Keep the cost down on utilities. Don't let SDG&E get away with charging for solar power owners and users. PLEASE do not raise taxes, even 1/2 cent. Do not pay the Chargers San Diego to stay or to remodel the stadium. Keep in mind we are still only using Stage 1X sewer removal, out into the ocean, and no great water capture. Poor planning by "city planners" has caused most of these problems. Easier access to the city by walking/biking. I live in Fairmount Park which is around 3 miles from downtown and there is no walkable access to downtown. We could use more pedestrian bridges San Diego over the freeway. Also, Fairmount park is a mix of residential/industrial - would be great to have a small park for the many children who live here without having to drive to Dennis V. Allen Park in Mt. Hope. Thank you! I believe San Diego's transit system is not the most convenient mode of transportation around the city/county. More efficient routes are needed for those with a particular longer commute San Diego (<15 miles). Increasing the number of coaster trains would be a good starting point, also a better bus route distribution to those areas where the coaster and trolley don't cover. We definitely need to improve our roadways, and reduce the number of potholes in all of the San Diego roadways in San Diego. Additionally we need to protect one our most valuable resource, our water, and develop projects that manage storm-water runoff. 1. Increased accessibility for persons with disabilities, such as decreased wait times for MTS Access and more prompt service to resolve problems with MTS Access. 2. Better promotion of ride share services for long distance/cross county commuters to decrease San Diego single-driver traffic on highways and major roadways. 3. Repairing sidewalks that are unsafe for persons with physical disabilities that make it hard for them to travel within their community, especially in central and East central SD. It would be great to build an additional lane on the 52 from the 805 to the 125 freeways. An San Diego HOV lane or an additional lane would be useful along both east and west bound sides. Top 2: More protected bike lanes along low speed streets to form a continuous network. A bike lane San Diego alongside traffic going 45 mph+, even if protected, is unpleasant to use, e.g. Friars. Transit, bike and ped oriented high density development.

In Mission Valley, many older residential projects were built along the trolley line, but new construction is mostly beyond walking distance. It would be smart to organize buses or shuttles San Diego to encourage trolley use for these people, at least for commuting. If infill is to work well, something should be done to limit additional traffic congestion. It is critical for community input to shape the investment priorities SANDAG considers for the ballot measure to increase our local sales tax. SANDAG's investments will only move our region San Diego if it prioritizes clean air, better Transit, and Good Jobs. No project does that better than the Youth Opportunity Pass program, which would provide no-cost transit passes to all students in our region. Please invest our tax dollars wisely and invest in YOPs! We should protect the little of what's left of native habitat/land. Instead of building onward and outward we should improve what is already existing, especially along transit corridors, by San Diego building upwards. No more infill projects. We need to protect the very little open space that's left within our cities. Rethink the design and use of HOV lanes. There might be a way to design some so that they could be used for non-HOV use during rush hours while still providing an HOV corridor. Continue to re-pipe the fresh water lines to reduce bursting water mains. San Diego Consider more alternative water sources ... like in Carlsbad Make it more economically feasible to install Solar Power and work with SDG&E to find favorable billing methods for those with Solar Power. Please repair the roads! There are so many potholes and it's sad that such a great city is well San Diego known for having poor quality roads in neighborhoods and on freeways alike.

Balancing keeping the ever-growing population moving with protecting the environment we all depend on is a challenge, but one we must get right. It is difficult to prioritize any of the San Diego programs because they all deserve equal attention and all affect our quality of life. We must raise taxes and guard against misuse of the funds we raise to get all of this done. I'd like to see trolley service extended up from Downtown into Hillcrest and El Cajon Boulevard. San Diego Or, at the very least, RAPID upgraded to a real BRT system.

Before any more development occurs off of Highway 6, Highway 56 must be widen to 3 lanes both east and west direction. Measure M required this to happen. Also, Camino Del Sur needs to San Diego connect to Camino Riez to create another North/South passage with the land on the side of the road becoming a natural preserve and parks. San Diego Besides the above - it would be nice to see better transportation modes - buses etc. Bring the trolley stations up the coast and have them going late night. The main reason I avoid San Diego downtown as a late night adventure is parking and having to drive. To implement an intelligent plan for the Morena trolley development and a humane plan for San Diego urban densification that does not simply pander to developers and does not simply pander to home owners. Improving highways, used by most people, is the best use of tax dollars. Not politically correct, San Diego little used bike lanes, which actually hurt traffic of commuting working citizens.

146 Place of Comments Residence San Diego Limit growth and preserve our quality of life. San Diego Update the San Carlos library. San Diego Update the San Carlos library. Improved public transit would reduce the use of individual autos reducing the need for greater San Diego highway infrastructure. The effect of less highway infrastructure preserves our habitat, allows public park and open space expansion, and permits funding of water quality & quantity. Need cycle and pedestrian bridges over / under freeways to provide safe access to the coast San Diego without having to negotiate extremely busy junctions - for example I-5 and Genesee, I-5 and SR- 56, I-5 and Del Mar Heights road Eroded streets can no longer be patched, rocks fly damaging cars and pose a safety issue to bikers stumbling on these, repaving is overdue. Allowing intersections to fall quality C and D as San Diego normal is wrong, improve before allowing new development. As a biker, continue to make SD a model of safe bike lanes, Coronado bike/pedestrian should be accelerated.. Build/improve alt routes to offload fwy traffic. Stop the "fluoridation" of public drinking water program which is really a toxic waste disposal program in disguise. Toxic waste from industry (which is a disposal problem for them) has San Diego turned into a profit center for them by virtue of their being able to sell that toxic waste to the government under the guise of protecting teeth. Ingesting Fluoride does not protect against tooth decay. That's an irrefutable fact. Do the More express mass-transportation options. A majority of the SD County residence live within 3 to 4 miles of a freeway. Elements to promote mass transit are: easily get to a freeway express San Diego transit stop, 2) express transit with quick on/off transit exists, 2) easy local transit at major business destinations. I have many ideas and would like information on how to present then to SANDAG. San Diego Grants to local cities for road repaving. Not road repair but new pavement. Repair our roads Incentivize the use of HOV lanes carpools and rideshare programs for large employers, QUALCOMM, the airport, etc. We need mass transit for the Fair and the Track San Diego We need centralized shuttle service to the airport from North County Seniors need accessible transportation. Uber and Lyft are too expensive for seniors to use on a regular basis. Pharmacies should have home delivery for a fee. Build more DAMS!!!!! We have plenty of land where this could be accomplished and water San Diego conserved while making new lakes for recreation. This will help us from running short of a clean drinking water supply.

San Diego Looking forward to the mid coast extension. I'm against increasing taxes. It’s time for city leaders to start looking out for the tax payer and spend our money correctly and within budget. Stop building stadiums convention centers high rates desalination plants and low use transits before fixing and maintaining roads water sewer San Diego and civil service. I see SANDAG as another layer of overpaid bureaucrats diluting our tax dollar effectiveness and promoting crony capitalism. It’s not fair for the middle class to support both the poor and the rich. Expansion of dedicated passenger rail service lines which include commuter rail and the trolley. San Diego Dedicated lines allow these services to bypass traffic. In addition, exploring how to make these services quicker from a point to point perspective. implement protected bikeways is my highest priorities for San Diego . a] because of increased density in the center city b] because more people cannot afford cars c] with increased density with need to improve noise levels in the city . d] improved public transport with express buses/ San Diego express trolleys lines . Increased park and ride access Increased bus system that circulates from downtown , Hillcrest, North Park South Park on an ongoing every 15 minutes .

147 Place of Comments Residence Develop a more comprehensive light rail system. Connect it to the airport, as now there is only bus connection to the airport. The current trolley system is not extensive enough throughout San Diego the county to be worth using. If we want to reduce traffic congestion, design and implement a thorough and efficient light rail trolley or subway system as a valid alternative that creates the incentive to take this instead of a car. We need more mass transit. We need more zoning for high density housing around that mass transit. It makes no sense to have trolley stops if the area around it doesn't allow for high San Diego density housing. It needs to be viable for people to live and work without a car in places outside downtown. That is only accomplished with higher density housing and commercial space that is transit adjacent. Clean-up the water-ways. Repair the road potholes. San Diego Remodel the football stadium in Mission Valley. We don't need a new one. Get the Raiders down here.

Keep the trolley extension to UTC on schedule. This will be a huge help to the area's life science San Diego region which is a big employer of high-wage jobs.

Two 'categories' missing: (1) land use design and (2) funding alternatives. How we design our neighborhoods, and update them over the next 30-40 years can significantly enhance--or, if not San Diego done well, limit--our quality of movement. With regard to funding, except for neighborhood streets, transportation funds should be flexible and based on regional needs and not constrained by city boundaries. I have lived in University City since 1987. Construction of the Regents Road Bridge has been on and off the overall plan for over 25 years and still has not been built. The congestion on Genesee Road which is the only north/south corridor in University City is terrible. WE NEED THE San Diego REGENTS ROAD BRIDGE. I was on hold on the phone for one hour during the Town Hall meeting on Wednesday but did not get on the air to discuss this issue. This is of great importance to many residents of UC. SANDAG has done enough bike lanes. One vocal lobby should not have this much power, and SANDAG meetings should not be staged events like the one I attended. I will not attend another San Diego SANDAG meeting since the one I did attend was clearly a performance with a predetermined outcome. I also will not vote for a conservation tax increase ballot measure again. I feel I was tricked the last time. Urgently fast-track MTS Trolley and Rapid Bus lines in the areas surrounding Balboa Park San Diego commonly known as Uptown/North Park/Golden Hill as well as City Heights as a way to encourage affordable housing that is critically needed. Throw Trolley system out and convert to DC metro system. It will be faster for us all and secure San Diego rather than open platform..... San Diego Dedicated bus lanes for truly rapid transit, especially El Cajon Boulevard.

San Diego more buses and trolleys Better suburban bus connectivity to fill in gap areas that are simply inaccessible. Expand car2go service area rather than shrinking it. More "active" parks in the downtown area where kids can San Diego bike, skate, play basketball, etc. rather than just another "passive use" block of grass and concrete. It is my hope to see more resources from SANDAG to complete the Transit projects that are planned along the 805 corridor to easy traffic concerns; especially at the Market Street and 805 San Diego soon to be skyway system for a transportation hub that will continue North and South into busy commuter areas. Sincerely, Patrick J. Ambrosio, Former Encanto Area Planning Committee Representative

148 Place of Comments Residence Better transit infrastructure. I live in Mira Mesa and work in Sorrento Valley. Should I walk to work, it will take about 45 minutes, and there are no reasonable bus lines without having a San Diego connection. Improved trolley/rail service that spans more of the city/county would help; don't want to have to take a car every time I want to go to downtown (don't want to have to take a bus that will take 1+ hour to get to downtown from Mira Mesa). Commuter biking is perilous to life and health. It is unsafe. Bikers don't know how to ride on city streets legally/properly and autos do not know what bikers are allowed to do legally to ride San Diego on city streets. This breeds animosity for both. Training for each! Enforcement - bikers going through stop signs and red lights, cars driving in bike lanes, and driving <3 ft. from bikers!

We need reduce our carbon footprints. So I strongly urge SANDAG to invest in infrastructure San Diego that supports biking, walking and mass transit. Please advocate for any ballot measure to include funds: 1. that advance transit faster than the recently adopted 2015 Regional Plan. San Diego 2.for active transportation, including bicycling and safe infrastructure. 3. that help fund affordable housing near transit, which has been shown to reduce greenhouse gasses. San Diego More dedicated bike paths, not just bike lanes painted on a busy street!

San Diego More affordable housing!!! Surface street maintenance is terribly behind the needs in many if not most areas. Streets I live on and drive daily in the City of San Diego have deteriorated from poor to terrible, even San Diego hazardous, in the last three years. The lack of basic repair and surface maintenance has now become critical, with severe repairs now needed instead of "band aid" pot hole filling only. I would like to see continued expansion of the light rail system, along with improved bus service San Diego for better connections to the trolley lines. I would use transit regularly if the service were more frequent and provided for more efficient connections. Eliminate bottlenecks in the freeway system. 5 lanes, plus HOV, should be consistent throughout the system. HOVs should have 2 perm lanes in each direction plus 1 flexible. Eliminate bottleneck on WB Carmel Mountain Road over I-15 which is caused by the backup from SB I15 San Diego onramp and the NB I15 right turn only. There is plenty of room for 2 WB lanes across the bridge. Widen roadways to accommodate safe bike lanes and sidewalks. Improve drainage so floodwater doesn't contribute to traffic and accidents. Implementing bicycle parking pavilions with active supervision / security guards at major San Diego stadiums where public monies have contributed to the building of the facility. This would enable cyclists to easily attend major sporting events without driving.

Fix the bike trails, particularly in the accesses to beach areas---they'd pay for themselves in San Diego tourist dollars if it were simply done. Would like my alley paved it is 4600 block between Madison and Utah, it's an obstacle course Have a roundabout at Madison and Utah it is a nuisance, the planning department said, San Diego removed it. Parking problem on Kansas Street ,between Adams and Madison, We want diagonal parking,1 side Dar ayuda financiera a propietarios de casa con albercas, para cerrar las albercas y ahorrar en San Diego agua. Favor de contactar, si tienen preguntas sobre esta idea. Encourage bike transport as Berlin & Netherlands with dedicated bike lanes separated from traffic. Fairmont Ave. is dangerous but one of few routes from Talmadge, Kensington, Normal San Diego Heights, mid-city to Mission Valley. Bike path over I-8 E. on ramp from Fairmont is poorly maintained & dangerous. Deaths - Charles Gilbreth killed 4/2012 - Roger Roux killed by distracted driver 6/14/15 must stop. Encourage SAFE active transportation. San Diego Anything that promotes open space and conservation!

149 Place of Comments Residence Can you please put some alternative routes for going from mid-city area along the 805? The San Diego traffic going north in the morning all the way from plaza Boulevard to Sorrento is horrible Resurface the streets in Old Scripps Ranch. They are in such bad condition that "slurry" will not San Diego work. The roads are crumbling and are a hazard. People kept up the conditions of their homes...but the streets make the neighborhoods look run down When our street (Larkin Place in Serra Mesa) was repaved, the contractor did not roll the asphalt. Chunks of the road are now coming off and contaminating the storm water. Did the San Diego contractor skip a step or did the city not want to pay for this important step? If the former, I suggest these contractors be closely monitored to ensure that the repaving of roads is executed properly. If the latter, shame on the city. We need better public transit going east to west in northern San Diego. For commute to work in San Diego Golden Triangle and to beach in summer. Energy from spent nuclear fuel, such as that now sitting at San Onofre, is renewable and clean. The Thorium Energy Alliance has a plan that would remove the nuclear wastes we now have San Diego and convert that material to a cheap source of energy. I encourage you to contact Eric Robinson: [email protected] Provide subsidies to build infrastructure improvements required for new affordable housing San Diego developments. The creation of 1) an intermodal trolley station that connects with the I-15 BRT, the Imperial Ave and the rapid bus on 32nd St. & 2) the creation of a Bus Rapid Transit station as part of a lid over SR 94 at 25th St. will remediate Southeastern lack of access to the new Bus Rapid Transit San Diego system. Since Southeastern San Diego is a low income area and does not have any rapid transit connection to most of the well-paying jobs, academic, and hospitals in the Northern part of San Diego. The city needs to be more realistic about food waste composting. Currently local businesses can't work on local solutions besides working with certified handlers and the Miramar landfill. San Diego Areas like North Park and Hillcrest could benefit from local in-vessel composting, which could be done on unused portions of Balboa Park (e.g. off of Pershing). San Diego is in desperate need of more transportation options. The restoration of the historic Class 1 streetcars is a project that can provide the most overall benefit for the city of San Diego. San Diego Trolley & rail service needs to be much better & more widespread. Irregular schedule & limited access make it a unused resource. We'll never understand why the massive trolley track network was ever covered up to begin with, but wouldn't it be amazing to reinstate that? Reconstruction of the 805 S on Ramp for University. Traffic can be problem backing up everyone San Diego into the freeway. San Diego More public transit. Less encroaching of wildlife habitat. We have the best weather in the country for outdoor active lifestyles. Help us get out of our cars! Create a healthier, pedestrian- and cyclist-friendly city, that will be the envy of all communities in the USA. It's time SANDAG took positive leadership for promoting world-class, San Diego lifestyles that encourage achieving and maintaining a healthy weight, reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, strengthen muscles, bones, and joints, improve mood and energy level, and foster community mindedness. Transit, as described above, with the exception of the skyway system. We have imminent needs San Diego that are basic and have broad implications for health (air quality). I also support the concept of active transportation. Water quality is crucial also. The top priority for SANDAG should be streets and highways--repairing them and building new to cope with the population SANDAG projects. SANDAG should seek to use all gas-tax revenue San Diego on streets and highways repair and expansion (that is, for the vehicles paying the tax). Quality of drinking water is also a high priority, but I am not sure that is really a SANDAG responsibility. Of the items listed, “City Projects” is not a SAND responsibility—that is better left to the cities. San Diego we need safe bike routes . most bike routes we have now are not safe. San Diego More public parking downtown and for beach access.

150 Place of Comments Residence More separated and protected bike infrastructure, more open public space. For example the San Diego undeveloped canyons in places like North Park and Normal Heights could be opened to the public as park space with walking and even biking trails/routes. Expand the trolley system along Miramar road and up Kearny villa road and black a mountain San Diego roads to rancho Bernardo. Connect the Mission Valley trolley lines to the southern lines through city heights. San Diego MORE TROLLEY TO IMPORTANT AREAS Devise a way to capture runoff water for future use rather than letting it run into and pollute the ocean. San Diego Build more desalinization plants. Let's face it: We live in a desert. Fix our storm drain system! Fill our potholes! Quit spending money on trying to keep the San Diego Chargers here. More sidewalks, such as on Gilman Drive, so people in UTC can take safe advantage of the San Diego mixed-use zoning. And don't turn University City into Mission Valley with the Trolley to nowhere. 1-Campaign "Park Once and Walk." All-ways stopped signals for ped head start crossing streets. 2-Beautify/make "healthway" down Ulric St. 3-Plant trees for run-off. 4-Seniors-friendly transport-otherwise, car-bound HUGE baby boomer pop. 5-Salt Lake Cty has integrated, cheap San Diego transport-passes good on trains/trolleys/buses. 6-Up-the-center rail service needed for 94, like Chgo's Dan Ryan Expressway. 7-Keep inner city wild spaces-part City's charm. 8- Boost organic urban ag thru your plans. (See AB551.) San Diego Trolley service to San Diego International Airport terminals. I would like to see improvements in local streets and pedestrian walkways as well as local transportation available for seniors living independently in their homes within the City of San San Diego Diego. I am also interested in water quality and providing for open spaces and parks in the neighborhoods within the City of San Diego. San Diego I want streets and paths that are safe for bikes, skaters, and scooters.

San Diego I want more trolleys, buses, bike lanes/bike paths, and sidewalks. Stop building freeways! Anything but more highways, more parking, or more streets. We've poured too much money San Diego there in the past decades, and we're overcapacity there. We need alternate means of getting around. It can be done - just look at any European city, or even ones like NYC, Boston, DC. I know I'm prejudiced, but now owning an electric vehicle, we need public access, FREE, fast charging stations throughout San Diego County, THE BEST WAY TO ENCOURAGE THE San Diego ADOPTION OF EV'S, clean up our air, reduce "oil/antifreeze" city contamination, greatly reduce noise pollution, etc. A pedestrian bridge or some type of access from the Normal Heights area to Mission Valley San Diego below. This would open up the uptown area to all of Mission Valley as well as access to the trolley system. A top priority should be getting the Trolley to the airport. SR-52 needs to be completed to 3 lanes all directions. Ramps from South bound 5 to SR-52 should also be a priority. Without San Diego guarantees to complete these critical items as priorities in the next 5 years I am unlikely to support the increase. Too many pet projects are being promoted without a significant impact to commuter traffic and transport of goods.

San Diego Public transit along freeways. Better bike paths to, from, and within the city downtown.

151 Place of Comments Residence More bike lanes throughout the region, not just separated from traffic with white stripes. It's dangerous to ride on most surface streets. Many bike to run errands locally & are keeping vehicles off crowded streets, reducing pollution & lessening the need for street maintenance. If San Diego we aren't supposed to ride on the sidewalks, make it safer & more accessible for us to bike on surface streets. Consider separated lanes, even traffic lights for bikes like they have in many European cities.

San Diego More (and separated) bicycle lanes!

Hello thanks for reading my input. I drive cars, ride bikes and use the trolley. The city/state and relevant organizations that support CA transportation need to start giving some priority to the bicycle, and trains and connecting buses. The traffic on the freeways at rush San Diego hour is too much like LA. We don't want to be LA. So create real protected bike lanes and grow the trolley and make public transportation work. All we do is build more lanes on freeways. Fix our roads they are terrible. Dedicated bicycle lanes in Mission Valley from Grantville to the beach area. Signs on bicycle San Diego trails to ask all users to keep to the right and not block other users. A public campaign to educate non bicyclist about the difficulties cyclist encounter when riding in traffic.

Complete sea wall in Mission Beach. Fix potholes all over the city. Continue the momentum on San Diego more bike access all over the city.

I'm anxious to see the new trolley stations in University City. I'd like to see safe and secure bicycle parking at the Costa Verde/UTC trolley station. The Rose Canyon bicycle path is critical San Diego for cycle traffic between North County and the city; please improve it so that sand/dirt/gravel does not build up in the pathway. San Diego Please add more bike lanes.

San Diego Connect the west end of the 56 bike path to the Sorrento Valley road path under the 5 freeway.

Instead of allocating billions of our tax dollars to unnecessary highway expansions, we need to redirect the funds and repair all of the crumbling infrastructure in all of our communities. And San Diego we need to do it now. Our streets and sidewalks are dangerous and disgraceful. I would like to see safe bike lanes put in place along University and/or Robinson avenues in San Diego Hillcrest. I use these streets currently for my bike commute to work. I'm an experienced bike commuter and I think that the safety is concerning.

Expand off road bike paths as well as more on-road bike lanes and make them less hazardous San Diego (too many potholes!).

San Diego needs to do a better job at bike trails and to be more bike friendly. I was just in San Diego London last week and it's amazing how many more people ride bikes there to commute to work. Just more bike lanes please!!!!! I'd like to see a protected bike lane on the western half of University Ave. I know you had plans for one and caved in when a couple business owners grew fearful of losing their subsidized San Diego parking and pressured SANDAG and the city council. Now everyone knows we won't meet the air quality goals, because of this chicken...

More bicycle lanes and paths so more people can choose to safely ride to work. We have perfect San Diego weather; we just need the infrastructure!!

152 Place of Comments Residence San Diego is a very expensive city to live in. Statistics show that a household income should be minimum 100,000. Most of the population is far close to that and that is why housing should be affordable and fit everybody's needs. Also, youths and families are having trouble affording bus San Diego transportation for students due to the low incomes. Youth should be provided with free bus transportation because we cannot afford them, it creates a better environment, and increases the safety of students. Improve transitions from bike paths to streets. Examples: north end of Rose Creek path (remove stairs); north end of Fairmount/I-8 bike bridge (add sign & green paint); south end of Spring San Diego Valley area path crossing Elkelton to southbound Quarry Road (add crosswalk, flashing light or stop sign). I'd like to see better bicycling infrastructure throughout the county and improved public transit San Diego between what are currently "islands" of infrastructure. pases de oportunidad transportacion para estudiantes no importe que iieguen a ios 18 anos si San Diego siguen asistiendo la escuela. Y este proyecto de youth opportunity pass es un proyecto que ayudara al medio ambiente y mmejorara San Diego. Youth oportunity pass(mid city can )que implementen el programa que tiene San Francisco,para todo SanDiego,el programa se implemente para todos los jovenes d e todas las edades, y que San Diego hagan un proyecto para usar el agua del mar y reciclar el agua d e las lluvias, se mejore el transporte publico mejor atencion al cliente, mas lineas de busses,mas busses para fines d e semana.gracias Mass transit is underused- it does not fit well with San Diego County's geography. Let's not see any more buses with 2 or 3 people in them- place where effective. Get rid of the HOV lanes- use the I-15 HOV lanes for extra-capacity one way flow during peak commute hours. Electric bikes San Diego are getting big in Europe- they are ideal for San Diego County's hills and canyons- efforts should be made to provide safe bike lanes as far away from car traffic as possible. Think mini-highways for e-bikes.

San Diego Separate bike lanes, more sharrows and buffered bike lanes.

I think everyone can benefit from education about how to better include all kinds of transportation into our environments. By everyone: police, bus drivers, taxi drivers, school San Diego personnel, parents, children, drivers, bicyclists, pedestrians, motorcyclists, people in wheelchairs - we all need to be able to accept, incorporate, and respect the diverse modes of getting around in our city and beyond city lines. This needs to be a strategic, inclusive education program. I would like to see increased safety for cyclists in the city, specifically, I would like to see San Diego increased buffered bike lanes and bike racks throughout the city to allow for comfortably reducing my carbon footprint. I would like to see a significant and sustained increase in low-income public housing aimed at San Diego eliminating homelessness in San Diego County. San Diego Reliable alternative transportation like every other major city in the US & abroad Please extend bikeways on El Cajon Boulevard through City Heights! Public transit via train, trolley, or fast bus from downtown to North Park and City Heights will San Diego lead to deeper investments in these communities and attract new residents, aligning with smart growth and city in-fill goals. Better transit to connect our whole city and promote less cars. San Diego Better bike lanes and More bike paths Better transit to connect our whole city and promote less cars. San Diego Better bike lanes and more bike paths. The roads and streets in the sports arena Point Loma area have tons of pot holes in the road. San Diego Not only is it dangerous for cars but cyclists as well. El Niño has made a huge impact on this and i have seen a dramatic increase in these potholes.

153 Place of Comments Residence

San Diego Decreased speed limits enforced by speed-reducing road design. Bicycle infrastructure.

Continue the trolley into the SD downtown airport. It's just logical. You wouldn't be able to keep up with the demand. I understand that the Coast Guard having to ferry an occasional San Diego plane across Harbor is a challenge to this goal. Solution: Move the Coast Guard across the street. Problem solved. I'm sure you can find a hangar facility for something as important as the Coast GuaRoad the year is 2016 stop looking at 100 year old technology for mass transportation like the BUS San Diego and start planning for modern day alternatives ...... also only use carpool on and off ramps and eliminate left lane entrances and off ramps didn't work in the 50's and certainly don't work now Add dedicated bike lanes with good pavement. Horrible pot holes and distracted drivers have San Diego made this a very dangerous city. I believe a safe bike route along the water front (Harbor Drive) and a safe way to connect to uptown (Hillcrest) area, would add great value for both residents and visitors alike. The current situation would be laughable if it weren't so dangerous for bikes and pedestrians. We don't San Diego need mini-freeways running through our neighborhoods and shopping areas. We need attractive place to bike and walk. And parking becomes less of an issue when fewer people drive. San Diego More bikeways separate from motor vehicle roads, and/or buffered bike lanes Improve bike paths & roadways in and between the destination spots in our city. San Diego has San Diego Damage to roadways and sidewalks at every corner. It’s Ridiculous! To reduce confusion and anger among drivers who are unfamiliar with bicycling laws, there MUST be a protected bike lane on University or Washington in Hillcrest. Proposed routes (i.e., San Diego Robinson) are completely out of touch with the needs of the community and will not reduce the number of cyclists "taking the lane" (legally) on University and Washington. Likewise, improve routes parallel to the 5 like E. Mission Bay Drive & Morena by creating real bike lanes. I think SANDAG should educate the public about how highway projects are needed - even if we make big improvements in transit. I think the public is under the mistaken impression we can San Diego eliminate the need for highway projects if we improve transit. I also think the region should push to have residences, businesses, etc. catch and store rain water for landscaping. We treat rain as a waste product instead of an opportunity - and then we complain about drought. Later service on Adams Ave., especially on weekends. It's impossible to catch the entertainment at any of the pubs that have opened in recent years, unlike University Ave. and El Cajon Boulevard. San Diego Weekend schedules overall, especially on Sunday. The #1 and #11 arrive within a minute of each other at the stops I use. Adjust the schedules on weekends so there is more frequent service of both. San Diego more trolley and rail service in San Diego area I'd like to see more bus stop shelters in East County, benches with shelter from hot sun, rain, and San Diego wind. Especially from the elderly like in Jacumba, CA & Campo/BoulevaRoad What 5th grader at SANDAG came up with the idea of limiting input to 500 characters. If you San Diego want my opinion/input - then don't limit me to a few sentences. Allow me to fully explain my position. You might even learn something for a change. Please add the youth opportunity program to the SANDAG project. Us lower income families benefit with helping to get our kids to school and for their safety. my 2 teenage boys use the San Diego bus every day for school and sports. and now are seeking to get part-time jobs this summer. Financially it will help many families all across San Diego! Would like to see more bike parks for the community to enjoy. Bike parks keep children off the San Diego street and families together. They also fight childhood obesity and being enjoyed by many cities throughout the United States.

154 Place of Comments Residence I would like to see more transportation corridors for bicyclists and pedestrians. It is very difficult to get across town or to La Jolla . the Camino del Rio route from OB is good now how to get up San Diego to Del Cerro or points east from there? I like being able to use the roads there is lane available or a bike path if it is easy to get on and off. We must protect the environment within San Diego County that keeps us healthy and happy as well as what brings visitors' money to the region. If access to/within our beaches parks and open spaces are not clean and safe, no one will want to pay to travel, invest, or live here. SDMTS is a San Diego superior transit system, but education is needed to expand the paradigm beyond driving one's own car as a necessity. I sold my car in 2007 & would love to get more people taking mass transit. San Diego Have better bus service on Sunday such as increasing Route 11. I would like to see added transit options for the I-15 , 1-5, and SR-76 corridors. These regions are growing at a rapid rate, and highway expansions will soon no longer be feasible. It is imperative San Diego that the County find a way to move the masses of commuters from the North to the South, either with, heavy or light rail, extra mass transit, etc. Please remember that you need to target the middle class too. I hope and pray that the SANDAG board will make the best decision. Mountain biking! I would like to see not only areas preserved, but trails in those areas. Specifically I would like to see single-track trails in San Diego on lands conserved in San Diego. San Diego Also we would love to see you work with San Diego Mountain Biking Association on possible sites for mountain bike skills parks! San Diego Connect Mission Gorge to Balboa/Tierra Santa Boulevard for bicycles San Diego High speed rail between San Diego and Los Angeles. Stop shutting down our Mountain bike trails. Put some money towards making more single San Diego track trails in the hills on land that is open. Quit building housing developments. 1. light rail or bus shuttles to connect tourist spots so tourists don't need to rent cars. E.g., Mission Valley, Sea World, Zoo, downtown. Have TOT help fund that with TransNet. San Diego 2. Conserve habitat so residents and tourists can associate unique open space and natural assets with our San Diego region, instead of freeways, subdivisions, and a region trying to look like Los Angeles.

San Diego More single-track trails in our open space for riding bikes, hiking and horseback riding Our streets in Scripps ranch are again and falling apart. Mark Kersey and City Council talk big San Diego about road improvement, but have little action supporting it. Please fix out streets that are 45 years old with ZERO improvements More separated bike paths and a bike escalator like the ones in Norway for the Texas St. Hill and San Diego other similar steep hills in San Diego San Diego I support River Parkways, such as the San Diego River Park. Better infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclist. More access to open space for hiking and cycling. San Diego My family sees San Diego best when enjoyed outdoors in its great protected spaces (protection from development but also accessible, as open space without some access is not very useful) I'd like to see more bike single trek. One example of many is that I used to travel from Poway to San Diego Santee via the Stowe trail but we're no longer able to. Build and open more Mountain Bike trails (single Track) . There are more and more mountain bikers, yet less and less trails. The mountain bike community would help build and maintain San Diego everything, as they are very involved and helpful. Also, a safe route for kids / people to walk and ride to the beach are from the Clairemont area (down Balboa Ave ) San Diego We need fair usage of open space and city land for dedicated mountain bike trails

155 Place of Comments Residence Darn! Would have checked all categories but you limited us to only 3. All are important to the region's quality of life! We need healthy, preserved land, clean water and active transportation! San Diego The other 3 would be nice as well, especially local transportation and reliable, convenient transit. San Diego Protected bike route linking North Park to Hillcrest and downtown. Please!

San Diego More single track trails for mountain biking please!

Let's have a modern transit pass. Pay for a certain number of trips and get that number of trips however many days it takes. If you don't need it for a week or a month, your paid trips are still San Diego available when you need them. This kind of refillable pass is available elsewhere, why not in America's Finest City?

San Diego Safe bike paths

San Diego We need more legal mountain bike trails. Thanks

San Diego More hiking and single track trails

San Diego Local road and infrastructure improvements should be top priority. San Diego is so far behind when it comes to public transit. Would love to see some improvement San Diego here. Would love to see more designated single track in San Diego and improved track upkeep for San Diego bicycles, thanks!

San Diego More legal trails for mountain biking, hiking and horseback riding.

San Diego More mountain biking trails I would like more running, hiking, and biking trails. Single track is awesome! If you can San Diego incorporate portions into active commuting that would be also a good, too. No more highway or freeway expansion! Better (affordable) transit, active transportation and San Diego community connection projects that desegregate our city!

We need more legal mountain bike trails. Such as single tracks you see in Sedona not double San Diego with paved paths for strollers.

San Diego I don't want ANY money subsidizing a football stadium

San Diego NO MORE FREEWAYS. INVEST IN CLEAN ENERGY AND TRANSIT.

Please implement more protected bikeways and please do not water them down to nothing as San Diego was done in Hillcrest. A proposal to process the spent fuel from a Light Water Reactor (San Onofre 1600 metric tons) into fuel for an efficient, safe reactor. This option is far more stable than current storage configurations. The energy production process burns anywhere from 93 to 100 percent of the San Diego current spent nuclear waste. With no particulate or CO2 as a byproduct. Please contact Eric Robinson 408 422 1096 for complete details on this proven technology from Oak Ridge National Labs. San Diego more mountain bike trails around hwy 52 805 and 5

156 Place of Comments Residence This past Sunday my son boarded a transit bus at UCSD to Old Town and then switched to the Trolley and it took him nearly 2 hours to get to SDSU. We need a lower fare structure and more San Diego frequent buses/vans and trolleys to operate every 5 - 10 minutes to get this system to finally work. It's time to make it easier to leave the car at home. I'm tired of waiting for this to happen and will vote NO on any tax that favors freeways over public transit! As a cyclist I see the bad shape that many surface streets are in. While not an issue for motorists, for cyclists on roads that do not specifically have bike lanes, the poor road quality can be a San Diego safety issue. Also, incentivizing residents to conserve water and replace their lawns with drought-tolerant plants. And encouraging recycling, to manage landfill size and in general, to reuse what is already in existence. I would like to see streets repaired and on wide streets ( like mine) replace parallel parking with San Diego perpendicular or diagonal pull-in slots for more parking availability. I can rarely park in front Of my own home. Multi-modal transportation is key. Please create policies and infrastructure that allow youth to skateboard, roller blade/skate, etc. Making these activities a crime or prohibiting them removes San Diego active transportation opportunities for the youth. Also, create separate bike lanes that are on the other side of parking. Bicyclists should not be wedged between moving cars and parked cars. Would really like to have a mass transit line that serviced the 15 corridor. And please more legal San Diego mountain biking trails.

I'd love more single track mountain bike trails. I also think the roads are too rough. Too many San Diego pot holes and uneven surfaces. Traffic light adjustment for timing could be improved.

We need more single-track trails for mountain bikers. Ideally there should be many 20 mile loops throughout the county of beautiful trail specifically designed for mountain bikers but accessible to hikers as well. We need to immediately focus on the completion of the proposed San Diego Stowe Trail connecting Mission Trails Regional Park and Sycamore Canyon Preserve but continue to look at other possibilities. SANDAG can partner with SDMBA to drive these projects forward with their vast pool of volunteers. San Diego Mountain bike trails are far overdue! I support almost all infrastructure projects related to active transportation, *effective* mass transit, and improving/protecting the environment. I'll support street/road projects that improve San Diego conditions for non-motorized uses *and* (especially in the city) SLOW vehicular traffic down w/ conditions that require drivers to pay attention to their surroundings. We want more trails for mountain biking and multi-use at every community in San Diego San Diego County

San Diego More mountain biking trails please. Mucho Gracias. I would love to see more legal, sanctioned single track mountain bike trails. Our county is an San Diego excellent place for trail riding, but there aren't enough trails. I would also settle for improved bike infrastructure on the streets. San Diego Bike paths, everywhere!

I would like to see the preservation of the land north of Carmel Valley Road and East of San Diego Portofino road to preserve a wildlife corridor between the Torrey Pines reserve and the lagoon.

We would like to see more multi-use trails for mountain biking. We would like San Diego to San Diego become a world class destination for the sport, but we cannot do this without some excellent trail systems!

157 Place of Comments Residence A bike lane (w/ as much of it as possible protected) from the beginning of University Ave in Mission Hills to the end in La Mesa & parking structures in Hillcrest + anywhere else needing one San Diego to help support local businesses + bikes lanes @ same time. Work in North Park, Hillcrest resident. Caminos para bicicletas seguros, mi hijo y yo commute a la escuela, trabajo, hacer las compras San Diego etc. El tiene 12 anos. Gracias.

Extend Sprinter rail line to Escondido mall. Would connect a major shopping hub/employer and San Marcos increase passenger use.

I would like to be sure that in the scheme of active transportation and habitat conservation, San Marcos that trail systems are supported and maintained, especially for equestrian use. My suggestion is that the Coaster should run late on every Friday and Saturday night throughout the year and not just during Padres season. The reasoning behind this is that Friday and Saturday night are the days that people are out later either working or doing leisure San Marcos activities. There are dinners, concerts, plays and sporting events that people are either attending or working at and this change would encourage people to give up their car and take the Coaster. San Marcos train directly to San Diego airport, Breeze bus to the airport, Highway 78 and the 15 corridor. Highway 78 needs more lanes and better access from the 15 San Marcos especially needed is a carpool access from the 15 north to the 78 west. Increased water storage, production, runoff recovery, toilet to tap, and increased use of desalination of our ocean waters. Without water, San Diego, in all her glory, will diminish in San Marcos every other venture undertaken! Water solution first then attack everything else post-haste... V/R A 5th generation Native Son of California and a 3rd generation San Diego Brat from Del Mar!! I would like to see a better transit system. One that would serve people working in the early morning. With transit travel times closer to car travel. Right now the one thing that keeps me San Marcos from using mass transit is operation times and travel time. I already get up at 3am to get to work. There are no buses or trains at that time. Even if there was, it would probably take 2 hours to get to my job. If there was a bus that traveled there. This is a 30-45 minute trip. more and smarter development in already developed areas. Invest in new technology to improve traffic flow, elec/water costs. Protect watershed/aquifers. Community centers are needed--where is the community center in San Marcos? A shopping mall? The city council San Marcos building? There is no plaza. Nothing unifies San Marcos. Change the model for development so that the population benefits more than the developer. There is too little free space left in San Diego County. Something needs to be done about the traffic congestion on San Marcos Boulevard. Once all of San Marcos creek development is completed - it will really be a nightmare. Encourage relocation of business away from the downtown area to more outlying areas. This San Marcos could reduce commuter traffic in the most congested areas. San Marcos Would love to have a trolley down the middle of 15. I'm 100% in favor of renewable energy -- I'd like to find more ways to use solar, and to make it easier for owners of electric vehicles to charge away from home. I'd also love for us to find a way that SDG&E could steward the solar program instead of fighting it. Sunshine is one our best San Marcos resources, and it isn't going anywhere -- we should be making the most of it! (I'm currently getting 180 mpg thanks to it -- and charging with solar. Think of what we'd do for our planet if everyone did!) I think we should be doing more water storage! The good Lord provides us with what we need and we never figure out how to take advantage of what He gives us! More tanks? Stop all the San Marcos stupid regulations! Let people collect rain water if you don't! More COMMON SENSE! We aren't stupid!

San Marcos Fix the roads. They are terrible in just about every city I've traveled through.

San Marcos Glad the San Marcos to Oceanside rail trail is finally going to kick off.

Build a NEW stadium for our Chargers, stop with the development and bringing more people, San Marcos enough is enough if you tell me to limit my uses of water but the city issues permits to build! Stop creating problems for me & my family, born raised since 1974. Most people will not take public transportation until we get to the point where it is faster to do so than to actually drive. I do not want environmentalists to force our hand at spending San Marcos everything on public transport. I would never support any additional sales tax on a plan that is predominately spending for public transit. San Marcos Accelerate the I - 5 widening in North County The highways and roads must be efficient and effectively move traffic. It is a waste of money San Marcos and drain on the environment when traffic is moving slowly or stopped. San Marcos Use native plants in landscaping. San Marcos Expanding the 78 freeway. Include dual-use FasTrak/HOV lanes. More rail transit with strict timetables that provide reliable and fast transportation. Hurry up San Marcos with the 5 HOV lane project. Water is always important especially today and for tomorrow.

Increase traffic calming and lighting in San Elijo community to make it safer for pedestrians. The San Marcos community around the school is not lit and cars run the stops signs as if they are not there.

San Marcos HOV lanes for Highway 78, including from N/B 15 to W/B 78 HOV transition lane. I would love to see the MTS Trolley extend service more to the North, and for the Sprinter to San Marcos service more to the South. More locally, I'd like to see improved transit options (at least one bus route!) through San Elijo hills community in San Marcos. Reckless growth has been a disaster for San Diego County. Those of us who were here 40 years ago can remember how wonderful it was living here before all the traffic congestion, the crime and crowded facilities, the noise and pollution, the high taxes and destruction of the San Marcos environment, etc. There is no controversy about this, it's not a matter of opinion, WE REMEMBER. Of course the developers have made money, but the public has suffered. The environment has suffered. Improving transportation in ways that reduce greenhouse gas emissions is critically important to San Marcos the survival of human civilization. I would like the option of Express service on the Sprinter Line. The current Sprinter service stops at every station and it takes nearly an hour to travel 22 miles across 15 stations. There are San Marcos several options for Express Service: Perhaps a train which stops perhaps at every other station. Or perhaps an westbound train which stops at every station east of Vista Transit Station and then non-stop to Oceanside. And a similar east bound train. San Marcos Bike and pedestrian safety projects, bike paths and improved transit service to be prompt. Increase the trolley line down in San Diego & the Sprinter line up in North County. Allow for them both to run for longer hours such as until 11pm on weekdays and until 2am on weekends San Marcos to provide more transportation for those who don't have a car/ for the college students looking for a cheaper and safer way to go out and not drive drunk. This might seem a bit wacky, but I've wondered if it were possible to divert the enormous amounts of water that flood the middle of the country, to California via a pipeline similar to the San Marcos oil pipeline. Of course, we'd need additional reservoirs to hold it, but if we want to capture more rainfall we need those anyway. Without water we can't function, so I believe water management is the top priority. Why are Europeans able to commute via reliable hi-speed rail from one country to another San Marcos country and here in CA we can't get someone from San Diego Airport to LAX without them getting off at Union Station and having to use streets/ roads???

159 Place of Comments Residence Why hasn't the train (Sprinter) which runs from Oceanside to Escondido been extended to San Marcos Mission Valley? This has always seemed logical to me. The only north-south rail is on the coast. We need to see new road technology such as variable speed limits and dynamic lanes (toll/no San Marcos toll). Also, improve freeway-freeway interchanges such as the 805/52, 805/8, 15/78 and 5/78. We need more mixed-use, pedestrian oriented walkable communities that provide bike paths San Marcos and bike trails Being able to commute from north county to downtown San Diego via light rail would be a way San Marcos to reduce a lot of vehicles on the roads during rush hour.

Please follow the California Chaparral Institute's http://www.californiachaparral.com/ San Marcos recommendations for Habitat Conservation and reducing the risk of wildfires.

Having "stored value" available on the Compass Card would help a lot. Everyone doesn't take San Marcos the transit everyday San Marcos Mejor calidad de vivienda y más bajo costo San Marcos A multi-use sports complex for the Chargers San Marcos More legal trails for hiking and biking. I would like to see the Coast to Crest Trail completed, the San Diego River trail extended and the San Marcos San Luis Rey bike path extended all the way along Highway 76 to Interstate 15. These types of connections would make active commuting easier and safer.

Fix the roads, I swear our San Diego roads, streets and highway are bad. Sometimes I feel like Santee I'm driving in Michigan with all the potholes and cracked up streets.

Much more bike transportation is possible here in the mild climate of San Diego...better for Santee traffic, public health and the environment. Our Sheriff refuses to issue concealed weapon permits to most of the citizens who apply. Please use your influence to change his behavior so that law-abiding citizens in San Diego County can Santee exercise their Second Amendment rights, thus making the County "shall issue" and not the "may not issue"...thank you...LCDR Jim Dodd, USN (Ret.) Santee I would like to see an expansion of highway 52. We need more lanes. Expanding and connecting the walking and biking trails along the San Diego River from Santee Lakeside to the ocean. I'd like to see more trolley and train routes. Up the 15 corridor all the way to Temecula. From Santee Santee to Kearney Mesa transit center. Anywhere there is freeway congestion. More local road repairs and maintenance, more access for disabled to regular transit system, if Santee someone with a disability can't drive, it can be hard to get to a trolley station or other service. In addition to new highways (not HOV), we would like to see more desalination and power Santee plants. 125 dumps into 52 west the two bridges are still only 2 lanes need 3, always backed up in Santee morning. Same place east bound in afternoon always backed up same bridges only 2 lane need 3 lanes. Santee affordable housing and shelter for the homeless Santee Continue improving the San Diego River trails and access. Better transit services increases employment for poor. Free flow traffic is shown to increase economy even after associated costs.CO2 reduced by 20% without congestion& with shock wave suppression to eliminate acceleration/deceleration. Limit drivers to drive 4/5 days via plate. Add Santee lane on 52. Fund free before school programs to lower # on road at same time. Add trolley lines to follow major freeways. Public transit incentives should be cheaper than driving. Incentives to fuel car with solar power "Widespread electrification of the transportation sector" and Community Choice Aggregation Santee county wide to reduce GHG impacts.

160 Place of Comments Residence I would like to see efforts to capture and treat storm drain run-off (the use of more reclaimed water). Habitat conservation as well as the creation of more parks, including pocket parks, and Santee green spaces is important too. I'd also like to see more sidewalks in neighborhoods that currently don't have them. I think more people would ride bikes if there were more bike lanes and sharrows. In Santee there is a good east to west bike lane on Mast but no north to south lane. Many bike lanes Santee disappear into traffic lanes. Add more bike paths and also it is dangerous to have to cross full speed on and off ramps on city streets where the freeways dump off. Santee New Stadium for the Chargers, Aztecs and other events AGE 63, 30* years Business development mgr. Rich *(ALL Salaries of Government officials & employees) so an increase is not needed including fire department overtime racket. Especially retirement loopholes causing excessive WASTE of capital. Santee Cut retired back to normalized pensions. NO double, triple dipping. *Build homes only for local bums in SD ship rest back to NV and AZ *More Solar, Allow solar users to sell at reduced rates to neighbors. *Crash Barriers on Fire hydrants so no wasted water. Santee All bus routes should stop at midnight instead of 6-8 pm. THE TWO LANE SR 52 BRIDGE OVER THE SAN DIEGO RIVER IN SANTEE IS A DISASTER. TOTAL BACKUP FOR THE MORNING COMMUTE W/B SR 52 FROM SR 67 & SR 125. SAME THING FOR THE Santee AFTERNOON COMMUTE E/B SR 52 FROM I 15!! WHEN WILL THIS ENGINEERING MALFUNCTION BE CORRECTED?? Let’s quit wasting money on Transit, The buses & Trolley are always 3/4 empty, The cost to operate these systems far exceed the benefit. The equipment & payroll with pension Santee & benefits are a heavy burden to tax payers. The people who use the system are generally unemployed or Minimum wage earners, they would find jobs close to home and within walking distance if they had to. I AM AGAINST ANY TAX INCREASE. 1) Develop cisterns to store and process rainwater. Won't solve everything but it's silly to ignore a free resource. 2) Repair or replace county water pipes. Every summer we watch geysers dumping water during Santee a drought. 3) Realign various city limits so odd pieces of land (like the piece of San Diego on the Santee side of 52) can be better used. Thanks! I would like to see more use of open space for mountain bike trails. As this sport continues to grow San Diego is missing out on the opportunity to capitalize on it. Mountain bikers Santee increasingly are higher income, outdoor loving, fit people. Catering to them can be a boon to the community as it has been for Bend OR and Park City UT. I live in Temecula and work in Santee. It would be a dream to be able and commute by Santee train/bicycle. I truly believe we need to work on getting people off the congested roads and freeways in the future. San Diego needs more protected bike lanes and complete bikeway networks. Too often bike Santee lanes are broken up along corridors of travel from one block to the next. The highway improvements have been impressive, but I would like to see some of it extended to Santee more of the east-west highways/freeways, specifically I-8 and the 78. More money should be put into improvement/repairs of local streets. Santee bike lane,(tube), across Coronado Bridge 1) the traffic on the 52 freeway is horrible east county. traffic planning is not aligned with growth. what happened with the voter approved bond years back that approved widening of Santee 52?. 2) there is a LOT of runoff leaving our highways that should be treated. Water quality programs exist in all of the cities, but transportation appears to have been forgotten. Transportation / highways, have to be a huge contributor to pollution in our waterways.

161 Place of Comments Residence rooftop solar, especially commercial. Limited investment in anything fossil fuel. You 2050 Santee projection says we won't have clean air or water then, Why are you encouraging increased population making matters worse? Santee widen 52w to more lanes especially over the SD river and all the way to 15 and 5. The 52 freeway needs to be expanded to account for increased commuter traffic. Possibly Santee additional lanes down the middle that could be flexed for increased traffic times. Longest time of my 32 mile commute is the last 8 miles on the 52 freeway. I think the we need more BRT systems and to encourage density around current transit hubs like Santee the Old Town station. As much as all transportation is important, I am interested in legally sanctioned mountain bike trails, lately the areas people normally ride are being shut down and it’s time we lobby for Santee legitimate trails. This issue is much more complex because a fire road is not a trail, and a flat trail is not a trail. We need single-track, narrow unkempt dirt goodness with favorable topography for elevation change, let’s be real, i only pedal up so I can blast down. 1) Continue to improve biking e.g. road striping, sharrows, dedicated bike paths etc. Santee 2) Road/infrastructure/park repairs - It's an embarrassing how deplorable our roads and parks are. I mountain bike. We need more natural surface, narrow, single track trail projects. There is a shortage of trails in and connections between open space parks and preserves. Trails let all ages get out and hike or bike for fitness, fun, and nature. Trails fit well with habitat conservation Santee projects, city preservation and park land goals and indirectly with water quality. Having more single track trails can help our youth stay fit and learn about our important natural resources here in SD County. Santee More single track mountain biking trails please.

Preserve open space north of Santee and add more accessible single track trails for mountain Santee biking and trail running.

More hiking, jogging and mountain bike trails. Any new construction should include a trails Santee element to connect neighborhoods and cities. Completion of the San Diego river trail.

It would be nice to see longer hiking/bike paths that extend the current plans of Mission Trails Regional Park (MTRP) and San Diego River Walk. Santee -Expansion of MTRP to connect West Sycamore & Goodan Ranch with main MTRP area. -Continued development of San Diego River trial specifically: Extensions to West Hills and MTRP, Chubb Lane/Cottonwood, and Walker Preserve.

I would like to see bike highways. Also, the San Elijo lagoon restoration should include a multi Solana Beach modal trail from El Camino Real to Seaside Beach for bikes, and hikers.

Solana Beach Train platform at the Del Mar Fairgrounds soon! More provision for accessory units and encouragement for the tiny house movement to further Solana Beach meet needs of seniors particularly . I would like to see an active tree planting, replacement and care program managed by people who really know trees. This would lower the heat island effect of city roads and sidewalks, help Solana Beach clean and cool our air, hold soil in place, and create a more welcoming urban environment. There is no downside to properly chosen and maintained trees. Let's put a train/trolley line in the middle of Hwy. 5 in lieu of widening it ceaselessly. This should also be done on 805 as well as 15. Buses should go to the San Elijo Mira Costa College campus among other public sites. Solana Beach A train/trolley line connection to the airport say from the downtown train station is a no- brainer. Bottom line: We need rational expanded public transportation. All on your list are important, but I feel improved support for bus and rail services to reduce our Solana Beach dependence on private cars should be issue number one.

162 Place of Comments Residence Bullet Train - Train to the Airport -- Fix Roads and Infrastructure (pipes old & breaking all over Solana Beach the place) - Collect water someway to combat drought - Go Solar More frequent Coaster. Solana Beach Extend trolley to Sorrento Valley, Del Mar, Solana beach, etc. Solana Beach Better commuting by coaster and highways. No toll roads like I-15! Add standard lanes, controlled access on I-5 south of the I-5/I805 split, Solana Beach prepare for electric cars. Double track the railroad, additional trolley lines for the city. No additional sales tax, we pay enough already.

Solana Beach More walking paths, especially connecting inland (e.g. lagoon) trails with beach access.

Light rail along the coast running at least every 15 minutes Oceanside to San Diego, light rail Solana Beach along the freeways connecting to bus routes. If the citizens can't move the city stops working. More highways make more cars make bigger traffic jams. Let's get modern and do mass transit!! The 5 Freeway is in desperate need of repair... especially between Lomas Santa Fe going north. This freeway is a disaster and has been sorely neglected. Solana Beach Also, stop building more houses and apartments until we can accommodate the people already here. The additional cars and traffic congestion has created a traffic nightmare! San Diego needs to catch up with plastic bag and Styrofoam pollution. The next big thing is alternatives to cars for inter and intra-city transportation. We must encourage electric vehicles, Solana Beach bikes, and clean locomotion. Most of them to be seamlessly connected, and solar electric charging stations. The plan for the train platform at the fairgrounds is a great idea. Don't widen highways for polluting gas guzzling cars and trucks. Solana Beach More light rail and other transit options. IMPROVED WATER CONSERVATION AT THE PROPERTY OWNER LEVEL. --- Would be a countywide program to replace green lawns and high water usage plants with decorative "desert" type greenery for single-family dwellings, commercial establishments, and industrial concerns. Solana Beach Incentive programs for 1) replanting & xeriscape, 2) water conservation via HVAC condensation, and 3) Property structures for better water management [such as culverts, rain gutters, storage tanking systems, etc. Cannot afford another half cent increase in sales taxes. How about better prioritizing the use of the existing, huge taxes your constituents are paying. Checked "highways" above because of Solana Beach misuse of gas taxes, which politicians seem to wish to use for anything but their intended purpose! Solana Beach Accelerate widening of I5 north. Complete San Elijo Lagoon restoration.

Solana Beach Expand rail services

1. More bike trails 2. More city-provided or county-provided reclaimed water for home yard use Solana Beach 3. More city- or county-provided free fast electric vehicle charging 4, City- or county-provided free internet access Too much time and money is being spent on biking in heavy traffic areas. Hundreds of Solana Beach thousands of cars move around Mission Valley, Kearny Mesa, etc. and they are being impacted by dozens of bicycle riders. Makes no sense. Senior Living at all three levels of independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing care all Solana Beach provided in one facility complex in Solana Beach close to the train station. Need trollies or buses connecting from Coaster to - Airport , to Carmel valley to industrial Solana Beach complexes -to local colleges & parks & zoo & other key points to relieve cars on freeway. Solana Beach 5 South to 56 East transition ramp (so you don't have to get off the 5S to get on the 56E)

163 Place of Comments Residence 1. Enforce traffic laws: ticket no signaling , higher fine for talking and texting while driving, 2. Many 10s of millions of dollars in property values are lost due to blockage of views from Solana Beach overgrown vegetation. Even the minimal rules that we have are not enforced. 3. Enforce the leaf-blower laws. The earth's surface acts as a natural filter. Leaf blowers disturb this process . The few rules that we have to constrain them are not enforced. The coaster stops in Sorrento Valley. There is a plan to connect the coaster to UCSD from the South. I have not heard anyone note that it is a very short distance from the Sorrento Valley stop to Solana Beach UCSD. It should be relatively inexpensive to put in a walking path, escalator, or other way to easily get from the Coaster stop to UCSD on foot or bike. Especially when coming from the north. More funding for complete streets and safe bike lanes and safe routes to school. Study Lomas Solana Beach Santa Fe Drive where children from 4 schools take their lives into their own hands every day on a street that could function much better. Given the need to reduce our carbon footprints I give comprehensive, convenient transit top priority. We need to combine trolley, bus, and rail service with greater opportunity for getting Solana Beach to destinations on foot or bicycle. That means that public transport should facilitate the transport of bikes to a greater degree than is done now.

Solana Beach Wetlands restoration and public transportation

Improve trail safety along and crossing Linea del Cielo and Sun Valley Road and around San Solana Beach Dieguito Park for hikers, equestrians and bike riders. There are near death encounters with vehicles daily in those areas. Unincorporated County of San Sustainable water supply for the region. Water quality and coastal access. Diego Unincorporated Clean the ocean, clean water now. Stop putting treated sewage into the ocean below depths, County of San recycle all water, stop the water from Mexico dumping into Tijuana River valley. Collect it treat Diego it and recycle it. Under road safety. A stop light at Winter Gardens Boulevard and Wintergardens Drive, Lakeside. Unincorporated Increased accidents due to long backup of traffic during school drop off and pick up times. County of San Speed is a critical factor. Cars coming up over a hill from the north are hard to see, until they are Diego almost in a collision. Unincorporated Sidewalks, storm drains and bike lanes. Better mass transit along major freeway arteries, County of San connecting bus lines; put it over ground or underground but keep traffic moving. HOV lanes for Diego all the major arteries of San Diego County, especially 8 from El Cajon to Alpine. Unincorporated Get rid of the Chargers and keep out all future major league sports. Taxpayers will not be held County of San accountable for more financial messes!! Diego Unincorporated Extension of trolley to north county. Making streets and neighborhoods walking and biking County of San friendly. Diego Not no, but hell no, to any NEW TAXES. Like any other wasteful government organization, your Unincorporated "mere, small" tax increase will be a half cent raise today and a half dollar tomorrow, ad County of San infinitum. If I had a penny for every tax increase in my 73 years on God's good earth, I'd be a Diego rich man. Unincorporated Improve the south bound I-5 from the Coronado bridge to the 54. This is always jammed in the County of San afternoons. Diego Unincorporated We need less bike lanes and less HOV Lanes and more regular lanes and also more enforcement County of San of traffic laws on the bike riders as the think they all seem to think are exempt when it comes to Diego obeying traffic laws.

164 Place of Comments Residence Unincorporated County of San I don't have a pet project. Diego Unincorporated County of San more promotion of community choice for energy. Diego Unincorporated County of San Walking tours near and around historical sites. Diego Unincorporated We need more places to store all the wasted rainwater. We need them now, not 30 years later . County of San So all the regulatory issues need to be re-addressed and most cancelled. No more talking, start Diego doing !!! I reside in Lakeside, probably the most neglected area of San Diego. It could be a wonderful Unincorporated community if it received an upgrade that included an extension of the trolley and the San Diego County of San River bike and jogging trail. At present we have only a single free standing bank and few major Diego businesses. An investment into this East County community would pay for itself in time due to increased property values, an expanded tax base and business stimulation. San Diego landfills are filling at an alarming rate, and plans for more landfills are not in the Unincorporated making nor should they be. Bring in waste-to-energy technologies (WTE pyrolysis and or plasma) County of San to process all the polluted wastes, capture/process for energy, then use that energy to create Diego additional water desalinization plants for San Diego and San Diego County. We don't need high speed rails, we need high volumes of water. Unincorporated County of San Synchronize street lights. Thank you for the 511 service. Diego Unincorporated Many of us are on limited or fixed incomes. Even one-half of a cent could stretch our incomes County of San too far. If this passes, I strongly encourage you to choose projects that benefit all of San Diego Diego County residents, and not only city of San Diego. PS: my community is not even on your list. :\ Expand trolley service countywide. Widen Hwy. 67 between Vigilante Road and Mapleview Road to two lanes each way, build the second bridge over the San Diego River and raise Hwy. 67 to eliminate the Mapleview/67 Unincorporated intersection. County of San Put in HOV lanes on Hwy. 52 between Hwy. 67 and Hwy 5. Diego Widen Hwy. 8 between Greenfield and Tavern Redirect street water from entering Lindo Lake Add off ramps into Lakeside from Hwy. 67 Unincorporated I want to see the already enacted county master trails and pathways plan when i walk out my County of San front door, not just on paper. Past ten years ago, very little has been constructed. Diego Unincorporated I would like to see funds restored to highways and roads, and not squandered on mass transit County of San and other pet projects - we want our potholes filled now, and roads made more efficient - we Diego are NOT giving up our cars for transportation! Unincorporated County of San limit access to the rural areas of the county Diego more trolley service to beach area, and north county Unincorporated continued improvement of hiking and biking trails County of San carefully consider impact to habitats and community character when considering building Diego projects Unincorporated Repair decaying transportation infrastructure; bridges, hi ways , potholes, additional "smart' County of San traffic lights, etc. Diego

165 Place of Comments Residence I have lived in Valley Center for 35 yrs. The County roads here need of maintenance and repairs. Unincorporated The County collected funds for roads from developments over the decades. These funds are not County of San returning for maintaining our rural roads. Increased traffic density was dumped on the exist Diego rural roads, with no off-site improvements. This led to more accidents and congestion. But existing roads still need maintenance and improvement. Unincorporated No more bottles necks areas on freeways, plus more lanes. Improve congestion on locals roads. County of San Spread major business out across county so as to reduce traffic congestion of traffic, all going Diego the same direction at peak hours. Unincorporated County of San Repair the roads Diego Unincorporated Why are we continuing to expand highways when we know they'll be over capacity as soon as County of San they're finished. It would make so much more sense to expand mass transit instead in place of Diego the HOV lanes along the 15 and 805 I'd like to see the SD&AE Railway (MTS) give the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum in Campo a Unincorporated long-term lease on the tracks for their historic excursion railroad. The lack of a long-term lease County of San can inhibit the success in obtaining grants for the restoration of historic locomotives and rail Diego cars. The success of this museum can bring a great improvement to the Campo area. Protect Wildlife Corridors/linkages and create wildlife crossings, overpasses and underpasses for Unincorporated our remnant Mountain Lion populations. The number one cause of death West of I-15 is vehicle County of San strikes, and east of I-15 are backcountry depredation permits. Genetic research shows signs of Diego inbreeding among our Pumas because they are trapped by freeways creating genetic islands. It is frustrating to me to see all the money being spent to establish and maintain Bike Lanes. The Unincorporated people using the lanes are not taking their kids to school, going to the store, running errands, County of San or going to work. They are exercising. Supporting a workout regimen for a select few is not Diego helping the environment. Spend the money on road improvements that make driving safer instead of encouraging a select few to work out in the company of automobiles. The two projects having the most positive impact on my quality of life are: Unincorporated 1) Expansion of the Highway 67/Dye Road intersection to maximize vehicle throughput County of San 2) Expansion of Highway 67 to two lanes each direction from Mapleview Road in Lakeside to Diego Ramona Avenue in Ramona. Unincorporated County of San Improving highway 67 from Ramona to Poway. Diego Unincorporated Work with the chamber to eliminate unnecessary delays in developing projects due to CEQA red County of San tape and lawsuits. Diego Unincorporated A better local transportation needs to be developed. Get cars off the road, cut down on County of San pollution. They have a terrific system in some of the European cities. Visited Amsterdam recently Diego and it was quite an eye opener, traveling around without an automobile. Getting into Valley Center from Escondido is a nightmare. Bridge widening on E. Valley Parkway Unincorporated & Lake Wolford Roads in Escondido for traffic flow. Complete 4 lane road for Bear Valley County of San Parkway in Escondido for traffic flow to Valley Center. Bridge widening on North/East Diego Washington Avenue in Escondido prior to Valley Parkway for traffic flow. I would like to see a regional light rail system that is extensive enough to be used for the Unincorporated majority of home-to-work commuters. The Sprinter, Trolley and Coaster are a bare minimum County of San start and not enough on their own. The present emphasis seems to be on autos/freeways. That Diego won't improve air quality or quality of life in San Diego County. I would like to see Fallbrook have better public transportation. Would love it if we could hop a Unincorporated bus to Temecula, or hop a bus or train to the train station in Oceanside. We are so isolated out County of San here, and the gas prices in Fallbrook are also always at least 40¢ - 50¢ higher than in Vista. There Diego is no public transportation around town. We have a bus that goes to Vista but it is not very often.

166 Place of Comments Residence Unincorporated All of the most cost effective taxpayer funded improvements in the above categories and then County of San some have already been made. Do not rip off the taxpayers with any more of your nanny state Diego nonsense. Unincorporated County of San We need more effective public transit systems throughout the county Diego Habitat Restoration not just conservation: Our hills and canyons have been bulldozed and poisoned and look like bombed weed fields now due to human destruction. We need to restore Unincorporated habitats with native vegetation and wildlife. This is the best solution to reduce the effects of County of San climate change and restore the natural beauty that residents love and tourists come to see. We Diego need to make the restoration areas places where children can reconnect with nature for their physical and mental health. Unincorporated Bonsall regional park with bike trails connecting to San Luis Rey bike trail to the coast in County of San Oceanside. Also very supportive of habitat conservation. Diego Unincorporated County of San Increased assistance for homeless people and addicts Diego Mass transit services must be available in the East County. While dollars are not unlimited, the Unincorporated focus for services has to include all county residents. Smaller vanpools that run more regularly County of San from outlying communities would be efficient and provide a valuable service. Start with a single Diego community to address specific needs and iron out kinks, then expand the program. Freeway exchange from Hwy 125S to 94E without having to take the Spring Street exit in La Mesa to get onto 94E . A stoplight in Spring Valley at either the Harmony/Sweetwater Springs Unincorporated Boulevard intersection or at the Del Rio Road/Sweetwater Springs Boulevard intersection--the County of San hill makes turning onto Sweetwater Springs Boulevard or trying to walk across dangerous. That Diego fwy exchange was to be done with the last tax increase, but it hasn't happened which makes me less likely to vote for another increase. Unincorporated County of San A bike lane is needed on highway 76 east of interstate 15 all the way to Palomar Mountain Diego Waterford, CT has a great of retirees serving at daycare for low-income families. This is a Unincorporated mutually beneficial program for the caregivers and the kids. Also, let's take homeless animals County of San out of the shelters and use them in the "pound puppy" programs. Carefully selected inmates Diego can train "unadoptable" dogs. Homeless cats are also successfully used in various correctional institutions to help inmates. Your ideas above are good, but mine are better. Thank you. I would like to see a focus on what people of limited means need to access jobs and services Unincorporated without cars. These people frequently work odd hours and multiple jobs. County of San Diego Also, it would make sense to integrate rail with the regional airport. Street maintenance - high priority. Continue to hire/train police and fire depts. Increase Unincorporated spending on technology and firefighting equipment. Not 1 dime, not 1 nickel, not 1 penny to County of San Spanos and the Chargers. This is a 'for profit' business that is part of a monopoly. Does Diego Qualcomm, Sony or General Atomic ask for a hand-out from the City or County? The County contributing $150M without a vote is 'taxation without representation'. Unincorporated I would like to see better AD A datagrams. I would like to have the service improved and the County of San passenger cost to go down. We should not have to pay more than for the regular bus. I would Diego also like to see regular public transportation improved. Unincorporated Meaningful transit (trolley and feeder buses) for the I15 corridor. County of San Connect open spaces for wildlife and people. Diego Maintain roads, complete sidewalks and bike paths.

167 Place of Comments Residence Unincorporated Fund the SB 125 to EB 94 connector. Replace NB 125 to WB loop with a flyover. Provide better County of San transit options to and from Lindbergh Field. Diego Unincorporated County of San Lake Wohlford Road Diego I know there are many directions to consider in the constant progress of our cities and county. Unincorporated Thank you to SANDAG for being at the forefront of this ongoing & crucial process. My 2¢ is to County of San ask: Has the San Diego Association of Governments considered the NFL stadium proposal that Diego Mayor Faulconer is pursuing, and the positive impact it would have on the whole of San Diego County to build such a facility and keep the San Diego Chargers here. Thank you. While much has been done to help with the wildfire threat in the Ramona area, highway 67 has not been improved one bit, thereby trapping residents in town during an evacuation. Road Unincorporated safety and improvement is a top priority. County of San A second concern is the need to identify and improve flood channels that are no longer Diego working, projects are on the books but money has been shifted to other projects and many residents in Ramona and other communities have experienced flooding in their homes. Unincorporated County of San managed burns should be used to control brush fire control Diego The I-15 exit at Rainbow desperately needs a Park-n-Ride. The northern most ride share lot is Unincorporated seven miles south at the CA76 exit. This lot became a lot smaller with the road improvements. County of San There appears to be a significant area of land east of the exit that could economically be Diego converted into a state of the art ride sharing opportunity Unincorporated Don't let the developers scar all of our open spaces with their cracker board home construction County of San projects. Diego Unincorporated Making the 125 South to the 94 East transition better. Adding a stop light at the Sweetwater County of San Springs and Cristabol Drive intersection. Diego Unincorporated County of San preserve our backcountry space by limiting and/or restricting building projects Diego Unincorporated My husband and I would like to see the roads maintained. Resurface cracked/rough roads, patch County of San pot holes and build berms to prevent erosion. Time traffic lights so that the traffic flows more Diego smoothly. Unincorporated County of San Ramp from southbound SR-125 S to eastbound SR 94. Diego Unincorporated County of San BUILD A DIRECT CONNECTION FROM 125 SOUTH TO 94 EAST Diego Unincorporated County of San Widening the 76 Hwy and speed control on the 15 freeway through Fallbrook to Escondido. Diego Unincorporated County of San PROVIDE A FREEWAY TRANSITION FROM THE 125 SOUTH TO THE 94 EAST Diego

168 Place of Comments Residence Do common sense road improvements where we get the most bang for our buck. Unlike the purchase of the SR 125 toll road, which although was a good deal on the surface, you were Unincorporated really the only buyer and should have negotiated a better deal. Money was also wasted in the County of San purchase of the 1,900 acre Hidden Valley Open Space in Jamul in 2012. Finally, it sounds like you Diego want to do a ballot measure for more money? Bad idea, live within your means and show better financial restraint. Unincorporated County of San Projects to collect run-off water from the area for agricultural and human needs. Diego Unincorporated Better maintain roads (by reducing number of potholes), plan better for more open spaces for County of San wildlife, public parks and recreation, remove fluoride from water (given latest info on fluoride), Diego require larger lots in suburbs, smaller spaces in city (to allow for more affordable housing) Unincorporated Better access for handicapped people in Balboa Park. Drop-off points for persons in wheelchairs County of San close to museums. Diego Unincorporated County of San Large-scale rainwater harvesting and recycling. Diego Predominantly low-income rural communities need help in treating and protecting oaks and pines from beetle infestations and mortality and removing dead trees that pose fire hazards. Unincorporated These trees provide habitat, cooling shade, carbon sequestration, oxygen, and beauty. Their loss County of San is devastating.

Diego Unincorporated Some planning for a north/south route in addition to 5 and 15. In case of a disaster or the County of San closing one of these, we are all essentially trapped here - perhaps some more local through Diego streets going north for more options? Unincorporated County of San more bike paths connected to one another. More wetlands open space and preserves Diego Unincorporated More bike lanes that follow the highways like on the 52 between Santo Road exit and Mast County of San Boulevard exit Diego Unincorporated I'm in favor of better and new roads and highways, including adding new lanes to existing roads County of San and highways. I'm against new transit or bike lane improvements. Diego Unincorporated Convert HOV lanes to general use or at least general use during non-rush hours like the Bay County of San area. Diego Unincorporated Traffic signal coordination in non-San Diego city and county areas like Escondido, Vista, San County of San Marcos, Bonsall, Fallbrook and Valley Center. Diego Unincorporated County of San rapid transit from Murrieta to San Diego Diego Unincorporated More HOV lanes. Route 15 all the way to Route 76. HOV lane(s) on Route 78, from Oceanside to County of San Escondido Diego

169 Place of Comments Residence Unincorporated County of San Interest in skyway systems Diego Tax measures do better when specific projects, or at least categories of projects, are tied to them, that is part of the law itself. Voters tend to mistrust agencies that say "we'll spend the Unincorporated money in the best way". Again, be specific in both what you say and ensure that whatever you County of San say is embedded in the initiative/proposition. Without a binding promise, it likely will not pass. Diego Allow those of us who live in the unincorporated parts of SD county to specify where, i.e., Bonita. Public transit between Poway and Ramona, and El Cajon and Ra,on a is desperately needed. The Unincorporated cars back up on that Hwy 67 every weekday morning and evening causing a twenty minute ride County of San to take between 45 minutes and an hour. It is dangerous. It pollutes the air. It is expensive. Diego There is No Way to get either place unless you have a car and drive, leaving young people and seniors stranded. I would like to see the Trolley system expanded to the airport, major tourist attractions - Balboa Unincorporated Park and zoo, Old Town State Park, Sea World/Mission Bay. Add a second runway to Lindberg County of San Field. Open the railroad to Imperial County to increase shipping through our port of agricultural Diego goods and goods manufactured in Mexicali. Clear all flood control channels and regularly maintain them. Keep the Chargers/professional football in San Diego. You guys outdid yourselves in the last game regarding transit. I don't think it's an issue anymore. Unincorporated Is City Projects the proper category for replacing a finicky transmitter? I hear that there is a bad County of San one in our area: San Marcos, La Costa, Carlsbad, Vista. Diego Probably the most pressing of all projects and programs would be the apprehension of all the bad guys. They are so flagrant about their crimes. Aren’t you guys getting paid enough? In order to get more people on bicycles, we need to construct class I separated lanes - treat them Unincorporated as a car, if you will. The have their own facility with their own traffic signals - like they do in County of San Europe. Also, the community of Alpine can use express buses into San Diego.. Further, a train Diego station at Petco is necessary for Coaster and Amtrak riders. Well, good connectors in transportation for north county. Better access to the airport, Unincorporated downtown, and major shopping centers. Many of our roads are in poor repair and bike lanes County of San are too narrow. Getting around needs to be safer and that means better roadways and better Diego connections to alternative routes. North county needs wider arterials and better lane striping....long overdue. MBD Unincorporated Save and replant the dying native trees. Stop utilities and developers from encroaching on County of San public lands. Diego Way more support for Rooftop solar and small scale green energy. Do not let SDG&E charge Unincorporated MORE for customers who use less. County of San Diego And Clean up San Onofre nuke plant. Unincorporated NO airport expansions at Gillespie Field. Gillespie is a gross polluter. No SANDAG money for County of San airports. Let the airlines and General Aviation pilots and the foreign flight schools pay for their Diego pollution. Unincorporated Maintenance of existing bike trails and build a safe route on Harbor Drive. The road is a mess County of San and/or unsafe along the bay. I get a flat every time I ride it. Some areas don't have cycle lane. I Diego would like to see an off road bike lane - in both directions. Unincorporated County of San Establishing more walk-able nature parks. Diego

170 Place of Comments Residence I would love to see the trolley extended up I15. So many people live in this corridor that having Unincorporated efficient public transportation such as the trolley would be the most effective way to reduce County of San freeway congestion. The transit centers are already in place and adding the trolley line would Diego be amazing. I work in Mission Valley and would stop driving to take the trolley from Rancho Bernardo/4S Ranch! The bus takes ridiculously long that it forces residents to drive. Unincorporated County of San hwy94 from Jamul east ;a good shoulder for a good bicycle lane. Diego Unincorporated County of San Repair potholes on roads all over town. Diego Unincorporated County of San Need more public transportation options into Mountain Empire Area. Diego On the trolley, we feel unsafe with those who ride without a ticket. It is a way for the unstable and gangsters to get a free ride. If MTSB controlled access to only ticketed people, ridership Unincorporated would increase. One son had a trolley pass for SDSU yet will no longer ride and discourages County of San others. Another son bought a pass to go back and forth to work, but found it untenable. Please Diego control access to the trolley to those who have a ticket/pass. Each who promotes the trolley should ride it regularly. I wish the money, OUR money was used to FIX OUR ROADS, which is what it was intended for in Unincorporated the first place! However, if you continue to purchase land, it should be opened to all! Especially County of San since WE paid for it! Next, if you are going to continue to grant funds to also make bike paths, Diego then those paths should be MULTIUSE and for ALL user groups...yes, that includes EQUESTRIANS! Unincorporated County of San Remove the toll on 125 Diego Make rapid transit, not just buses, available to inland N. County (i.e., Fallbrook) and I-15 Unincorporated corridor. Widen E. Mission Road to better handle heavy east and westbound Pendleton traffic. County of San Add sidewalks between Main Ave. and Brandon Road on E. Mission in Fallbrook. Stop treating Diego the unincorporated areas like we're the ugly stepchild -- we pay taxes too! Spend some of it here! More bike paths in inland North County. I live in Bonsall, and I like to ride bikes, but there is Unincorporated nowhere in this area where it is safe to ride a bicycle. I frequently drive to Oceanside and utilize County of San the bike path along the SLR river, but it’s too dangerous to use the inland north county roads Diego for bicycles. Large commercial trucks 6 to 10 wheelers are parking on our streets We need to stop this, it is Unincorporated getting worse. Also many of our streets need repair. Lastly, we are losing our golf courses to County of San some kind of a land swap that is making Fallbrook and Bonsall less attractive to live in and Diego reducing home values. This needs to stop. Bansall has already had this happen to them. They are trying to do it again to the Fallbrook Golf Course on Gird Road. Unincorporated Completion of The Pointe in Spring Valley. Nature center, trail kiosks, and roadside signs to County of San indicate where the East County section of the San Diego National Wildlife Refuge is at. Diego It was hard to choose only three. I definitely think improving transit and local transportation is a Unincorporated higher priority than our highways. However, I strongly support HOV lanes and carpool/rideshare County of San programs. I also feel that the line between habitat conservation and water quality is somewhat Diego artificial, as they are closely related. Unincorporated I would like to see our transportation taxes used as they were intended--to keep our roads in County of San good repair. Diego

171 Place of Comments Residence Unincorporated County of San Extending 76 corridor bike path to Interstate 15. Diego I live in Ramona and will join the telephone conversation as scheduled. i am very interested in Unincorporated making Hwy 67 into Ramona more than a two way road, secondly i am interested in further County of San developing the pathway from the mountain to the sea, and finally i am interested in ensuring Diego that our fire protections are expanded in this region.... Unincorporated No more toll roads, Eliminate freeway bottle necks, Hwy 52 east of Santee, I8 east of El Cajon to County of San Alpine. Extend Hwy 67 thru to Poway, over pass at Maple view new entrance to Barona casino, Diego Two lanes, each direction, with center turn lane from Lakeside to Scripps Poway road Right of way improvements e.g. sidewalks in unincorporated areas on streets that children need Unincorporated to walk to school; better signage for enforcement of no parking areas for fire lanes, transit County of San stops and streets for which parking on both sides of streets without sidewalks require kids to Diego walk in the streets. Water quality improvement would be better for citizens and wildlife. Unincorporated Dedicated transit lanes for high speed point to point bus transportation, County of San Increase multiple species conservation areas. Diego Construction of bike lanes separate from highways. Unincorporated Resolve "Last mile" issues -- transportation from existing commuter routes to neighboring County of San businesses, specifically in Kearney Mesa/Murphy Canyon business area along the 235 bus route, Diego and in beach & tourist areas. Unincorporated Every road should have a safe walk/bike lane. Example- Route 52 bike lane should go all the way County of San to the beach areas, and downtown. Diego Unincorporated County of San More open spaces for parks everywhere. Beach should have free parking!! Diego Build a sound wall on the south side of SR 94 between S. Granada and Sweetwater Springs Unincorporated Boulevard exit. This is primarily affecting Norte Mesa Drive, some residents have been here since County of San the 1970's. These homes may be, or are some of, the closest residences to the highway of the Diego entire SR94 route. The traffic has dramatically increased over the decades and the road service quality contributes to the noise. This is a 24/7 situation. Improve SR94 to cope with upcoming increased traffic from the Jamul Indian Village Hollywood Unincorporated Casino. Those of us who commute along 94 we have just gone through a year of repaving on 94 County of San and now the shoulders of the highway are being torn up to bury a power line for the casino. Diego None of this has mitigated future traffic problems. After 4 years of drought, I'd like to see the development of ways to recover more of the rain we Unincorporated do get - maybe incentives for homeowners and businesses to recover rain from their roofs, etc.; County of San water that could be used for private use but perhaps also be collected for public use as well. I Diego think the ecosystem and the San Diego River need rainwater, but we can do more to recover some of what falls. Please widen Highway 67 to 4 lanes with barriers between Scripps Poway Parkway to Ramona prevent head on collisions and more deaths. How many more people will have to die before this Unincorporated road will be made safe. It is the main road into Ramona with about 40,000 people. We voted to County of San fund this project many years ago and then someone decided to do other projects instead. We Diego were duped. Safety should be a top priority and higher than convenience projects that shorten commutes. There is very little public transportation to east county - rancho and Diego, Jamul, etc. this is the Unincorporated least undeveloped area and will grow in future years as rancho SD has over the last 10 years. County of San Trolley at least from rancho into the city should be a priority. Also transportation for seniors in Diego rural areas. Unincorporated Is there a project to widen the main access road to Ramona (67)? This should be a priority. Also, County of San there needs to be public transit out of Ramona to the Rancho Bernardo transit center by way of Diego Poway.

172 Place of Comments Residence Unincorporated Better public (mainly bus) transit between north and south county with more frequent service County of San including late evening and more connection points. Diego It is crucial community input to shape the investment priorities SANDAG is considering for the Unincorporated ballot measure to increase our local sales tax. SANDAG's investments will only move our region County of San if it prioritizes clean air, better transit, and good jobs. NO project does that better than the Diego Youth Opportunity Pass (YOP) Program, which would provide no-cost transit passes to all students in our region. Please invest our tax dollars wisely and invest in YOPs! Unincorporated CONNECTED pathways and trails that are for non-motorized transportation! ! Horses, walking, County of San bikes oh and HORSES, horses, horses Diego Unincorporated County of San Equestrian trails. We can share with hikers and bikers. Diego Unincorporated Your persistence in paving more of our region is infuriating and anti-democratic. I and many County of San others want more public transit, not more lanes on a freeway. Diego I would like to see an extensive set of bicycle trails created throughout the entire County that Unincorporated are separate from the auto roadways. It is dangerous for bicycles to be so close to cars and County of San trucks. Bicycles need their own protected pathways. Many people do not use bicycles because of Diego this risk. If we had protected bicycle ways, there would be many more cyclists and fewer cars. TRAFFIC Reduction Priority. 1984Olympics,LAreinventedTransit,RsltsLoTrfcPrblms &clear Skies!

Diego Unincorporated Light-rail/historic streetcar service to Balboa Park connecting Amtrak, downtown and existing County of San Orange, Blue and Green light-rail lines with Balboa Park.... Diego Unincorporated County of San Increased light rail public transport. Diego Honestly, the highways have gotten a lot worse even just in the past 3-4 years. Viable public Unincorporated transportation options that are reliable would really benefit San Diego. I took the express bus County of San for 18 months but got fed up when the bus would leave early or come 15 minutes late. The Diego trolley is a nightmare- not on time, missed connections, dirty, etc. With all the new development in town, traffic is only going to get worse. Unincorporated You’re doing such a @#$% job, don't ask for more money and if you had a conscious you would County of San outsource your work to cut the waste! Diego Unincorporated It would be great to have a safe and easy access park and ride area off of the 15 freeway at the County of San Rainbow Valley Boulevard exit! Diego Unincorporated Infrastructure repair and widening projects are critical, in my opinion, to safe and efficient County of San travel in the region. We are experiencing extreme road conditions including sink holes and road Diego degradation impeding safe travel, not to mention long term damage to vehicles.

173 Place of Comments Residence Reduce highway pressure by facilitating and/or mandating telecommuting and video Unincorporated conferencing. Can SANDAG directly or indirectly move San Diego businesses to find creative uses County of San of communication technology that will reduce unnecessary driving? I would also ask for efficient Diego transit options between outlying communities. Lower taxes! That is the program I would like to see SANDAG champion. Here is one more reason I don't want to give SANDAG a dime. I have travelled on the i-15 for Unincorporated years. I lived through the construction of the massive HOV lanes and marvel at how many County of San billions it took to build this boon-doggle. I see an inefficient use of resources in the middle Diego lanes, not enough exits and $8/use fees btw- ignore my 3 choices above - I only picked them because the website forced me to Improve freeway connections. East county 67/8, 8/125, 125/94, & 94E/15N. Activated current signals more. If morning and afternoon, many should be on all day. With casino expansions in Unincorporated east county look at road safety issue. The state took some local choice but now we need to find County of San the way and means to insure local residents are safe as traffic will increase. Possibility many Diego more serious accidents and fatalities. There will also be an impact related to water issues, environment, etc... PLEASE don't forget about San Diego's first People! Any increase in sales tax and TransNet Unincorporated funding should increase funding for habitat conservation with an increased emphasis on County of San protection for tribal cultural resources (prehistoric and ethnobotanical) within open space and Diego land acquisition and prioritize projects that partner with Tribes and Tribal Organizations. Unincorporated County of San Widening highway 8 East making it three lanes from El Cajon through Alpine. Diego Any increase in sales tax and TransNet funding should increase funding for habitat conservation Unincorporated with an increased emphasis on protection for tribal cultural resources (prehistoric, sacred, and County of San ethnobotanical) within open space and land acquisition and prioritize projects that partner with Diego Tribes and Tribal Organizations. Unincorporated Highway 67 between Lakeside & Ramona needs to be a higher priority than it is. Also, there is a County of San circulation element road in Ramona (Called Ramona Street) that needs to be put through to Dye Diego Road This would help our traffic flow immensely. Unincorporated Extend trolley service to Kearny Mesa business areas. Do not spend money on a skyway from the County of San beach to Balboa Park. Increase open space and hiking trails. Help finish the Coast to Crest trail. Diego Clean up Chollas Creek and the San Diego River. Unincorporated Synchronize traffic lights on major roadways to reduce fuel consumption from stops and starts, County of San thus reducing pollution. Diego Unincorporated Add at least six more lanes to both I-5 and I-15. Have a campaign to stop all development till the County of San infrastructure in this region is fixed! Infrastructure demands would of course include water, Diego electricity, transportation as well as all roads. Unincorporated Changes in urban planning to avoid cul-de-sacs and 'enclaves' of housing. Also, expanding MSCP County of San land acquisitions and improving trails in all municipalities for drainage and accessibility using Diego current best management practices. Please address the issue of the 94 & 125 connectors. Traffic has increased incredibly with Unincorporated thousands of cars trying to merge while losing 2 lanes. The opposite direction cars must exit County of San freeway off 125 to get onto 94 east causing dangerous backups & pollution. East county seems Diego to be left behind by SANDAG. Unincorporated County of San European & Asian style transit. Less restrictive use of rain & grey water. Diego Unincorporated More trails for equestrians. Instead of removing trail access..adding more staging areas and County of San access to trails...even multi-use ones! Diego

174 Place of Comments Residence Unincorporated County of San Equestrian trails need to be included! Diego I do NOT want county/city taxes spent on a football stadium for a private, profit-oriented Unincorporated business. The mayor's no-new-taxes-required statement is misleading; taxes diverted to a County of San stadium are taxes not available for essential public improvements such as proposed by SANDAG. Diego If public money is spent on a stadium, I will not vote for a tax increase or extension for SANDAG’s projects. stadium. Unincorporated Trails and transport to encourage walking and biking to work, school, etc... that incorporate County of San what little beautiful nature we still have left. Diego Unincorporated An urban area the size of San Diego needs better transit. Specifically, more trolley lines and County of San stations. Also, we live next to an open space area that is in danger of being developed and Diego instead should be preserved for its flora and fauna. Maintain horse, bicycle, hiking and hiking trails access and continued development. Preserve Unincorporated open spaces. Include equestrians in planning, maintaining and developing trails and trail County of San systems. incorporate and use the county's master trails and pathways plan, established with Diego input from equestrians and authorized for implementation over ten years ago. Unincorporated Strive for 100% renewable energy. Free mass transit. Regenerative agriculture to store carbon in County of San the soil. More open space, denser housing and commercial areas. Safe, slow streets. Add beauty Diego and respect for all. No more homelessness or poverty. No new highway construction. Unincorporated County of San More legal mountain bike trails. Support for SDMBA projects Diego install toll booths on I-15 at Temecula border Revenue from tolls can be used to supplement lost Unincorporated tax revenue taken to riverside county, and fund San Diego county infrastructure projects.

San Diego National Wildlife Refuge, Sweetwater Authority: Sweetwater closed access to trail Unincorporated along Sweetwater Reservoir and fenced off trail/access road which crosses the river. For years it County of San was open then when Rancho San Diego development was built they blocked access to cross Diego river. Sweetwater needs to open these gates. the City/County Sec 8 Housing Choice voucher system needs to be revamped.. separate category Unincorporated for family AND for 62+ (55+?).

Give Vets, homeless or Diego not, top prior (based on need?)... on both lists. thank you for this opportunity. Unincorporated County of San Hwy 52 needs to be widened between Hwy 125 and Mast Bl. Diego

175 Place of Comments Residence The focus should be on transit, not on new and expanded freeways and highways. We need Unincorporated more trains and trolleys with more routes and 24-hour service. The Sprinter needs lines that go County of San to Fallbrook and Ramona. The Trolley needs to go to Balboa Park, down El Cajon Boulevard, up Diego to Hillcrest, and to every college south of the 52. Building a WORKABLE transit network must be the top priority--think New York, not Los Angeles! I would like to see an interconnected trail system built which would extend from Coastal San Unincorporated Diego County via trails through the many river valleys into the interior of the County. County of San At the moment the San Dieguito Conservancy is looking into completing a 60 mile trail from Del Diego Mar to Volcan Mountain. Unincorporated County of San More mountain biking single tracks. Please!!! ASAP!!! :) Diego Unincorporated County of San light rail down center of freeways Diego Add more trains and more bus connections to the Coaster's Sorrento Valley station. That will make it a more convenient choice. Vista Widen the 5 freeway between Carlsbad to Sorrento Valley -- add lanes and don't drop them. Relieving traffic makes auto travel more efficient and more environmentally friendly. I would NOT approve a 1/2 % tax increase for highway improvement even though traffic congestion is awful. The state of California needs to give back the gas tax and the registration Vista fees that we pay for our road repairs and new projects instead of the special interests those in Sacramento cherish for their districts. I live in North County and travel the 78 freeway daily. The traffic and congestion seems to be Vista getting worse. More lanes are needed for the entire length as the population here has exploded. I would also like to see more bike lanes/paths as there aren't many where I live. Vista Fix freeways and potholes!!!! Repairs on our cars is getting ridiculous! Stop wasting money on the mass transit projects that do not work in our area, and spend the Vista money on expanded freeways, which are what most people use in this area. Most mass transit projects are over budget and are underutilized the vast majority of the time they operate. more HOV lanes are needed, especially on the I15 from Escondido to Murrieta. Vista walking/hiking trails are needed in each city to encourage walking/fitness. I selected Transit, Highways, & City Projects as the three categories. The increase in population Vista density, due to more apartments, when combined with an aging population, creates a need for improved public transportation. Widen 5 from del mar to San Clemente - especially between del mar and Encinitas, the traffic here is awful every day!!! Vista Secondly put in a non-stop connection between 78 and 5 and 78 and 15 (so crowed due to two lanes it might as well have a stop on it. Vista widen Highway 78. transit in north county is bad. Stop building until we have adequate water supply. Current residents should not be suffering Vista under water restrictions just so more land can be developed. Increase local water storage like fixing the Lake Henshaw dam, capturing runoff, converting waste water to potable water. Completion of Vista section of bike path alongside Sprinter line to connect Oceanside and San Vista Marcos. It would be great to have the Inland Rail Trail completed to provide a separated facility to access Vista the coast.

176 Place of Comments Residence More highway/road improvements -BUT NOT BIKE LANES nor roundabouts, nor removal of existing lanes to accommodate these. Vista Less apartments & affordable housing. Too much density & a magnet for poverty & those needing assistance, which is paid for by existing and longtime property owners. hello my name Joshua Rausch I would like to say that I think the projects are improving public Vista transit systems and pedestrian safety and improving the rapid buses. also more street repairs like potholes in the streets. Vista Fix the roads. Period. They are a horrendous mess throughout the County. NCTD buses are huge, and usually empty. How about smaller, electric vehicles? Space for the bus to pull off the road @ bus stops is a safety priority. e.g.,: Sycamore, south of 78, in Vista, the right lane is for cars, bikes AND buses! And there is A LOT of traffic. Sidewalks on both sides of Vista Sycamore to promote more foot traffic. Note: Larger signs on ramps to the 78 for # of cars, per green light. #s SO SMALL not readable. Removing the invasive plants & dead debris from Buena Creek. Vista Habitat conservation needs to continue. Too much new development in our County. We need quick and easy access to a fully protected bikeway system, separate from car traffic -- that connects easily and safely with other protected bikeways leading to the coast, and other Vista cities. Also, a close-access public transportation system, with much more frequent, and much more direct connections leading to the same areas. For all of the projects discussed during the telephone conference, nothing was said about alleviating congestion on the freeways. The Federal Census Bureau has reported continually declining carpooling over the last few decades, few people actually choose to use mass transit, Vista and 90% of travelers choose to drive. Where is the effort to reduce congestion by adding regular lanes to the freeways and by converting carpool / HOV lanes to regular lanes to free up unused capacity? Transfer High Volume Traffic to opposing lanes Vista No more Calls on land line ... 3 is Enough .... One fairly simple way to help everyone, both visitors and residents alike, would be to make a connection from the train station downtown to Balboa Park, perhaps something like the Vista connection to the airport, while not perfect does work. I know that we would take public transportation from Vista to Balboa Park where we participate in the museums and club meetings if the transportation were available. Would like to see light rail service to the airport. Would like to have Coaster hours improved. Vista They do not run northbound very late on Friday or Saturday. Would much rather have people on trains than drinking and driving on our freeways. A bike path connecting the 2 parts of Cannon Road Through the Calavera area in Vista Oceanside/Carlsbad. Better accommodation of bicycle transportation: more lanes, bike friendly intersections, Vista education of drivers, signage for drivers to be aware of cyclists, etc.

Vista open space and hiking and biking trails throughout San Diego County Expand the walking, running, cycling path further east. The existing RIVER TRAIL bike path currently stops at north Santa Fe and hwy 76 forcing cyclist onto the busy hwy 76 to continue east. Please expand it soon before I die of old age and or die on this busy hwy 76 from a car Vista hitting me. This path could be expanded further east and go under the old Bonsall bridge and be super cool. I would like to see old fire roads in MTRP and other parks and OSP's revegetated and replaced Vista by sustainably built contoured single track multiuse trails for hiking, biking, running & equestrian use.

Decline to state More buffered protected bike lanes.

San Diego needs more hiking and mountain biking trails. The ones that exist are a key part of Decline to state this city's culture and healthy lifestyle that makes San Diego a great place to live.

I would like to see the North County Inland Rail Trail fully implemented. I recognize that there are challenges to pushing the trail all the way to the coast (habitat preservation, flood risk Decline to state management), but the trail project could be a catalyst for addressing these (and perhaps other ) issues that have gone unaddressed for too long. As San Diego grows, workers are commuting longer and traffic is getting unbearable. Provide Decline to state high speed rail or similar inland to reduce the cars on the road. Decline to state Extend FasTrak north to Temecula. the freeway widening (FWY 15) from Escondido towards south , specially the carpool is so very Decline to state helpful . Fix the potholes and reduce the traffic congestion. Also clean up the landscaping on the freeways; there is so much trash and debris - it looks terrible compared to other areas of the US. Decline to state Finally, improve the management of storm water and runoff. This should have happened long before now to reduce the impact of this drought. Connect Mast Boulevard to Riverside Drive on the Santee/Lakeside border. Traffic should not be routed through the residential neighborhoods of this area. It is absolutely disgraceful to residents of Santee that live on Los Ranchitos Road and 2nd Ave, as well as the residents of Decline to state Lakeside that this road connection has not been completed despite the development in both areas. It is politics at its worst. It shows a total disregard for the safety of commuters, pedestrians and residents of this area. Don't increase mass transit Overwhelming preference on-demand personal same vehicle service direct to destination is and is planned in increasingly efficient clean autos; many electric. Decline to state Growing "doorstep to doorstep" on-call, auto and driver service overcomes deficient access for mass transit & an expensive Regional overlay. At last, high quality auto service for non-drivers. Step by step on-call service starting immediately instead of the overlay is first priority in public interest. More bikes! Less incentive to drive! These would be wonderful things. I am not especially Decline to state qualified to offer actionable ideas on these thoughts, unfortunately. Decline to state More cycling and walking infrastructure that allows wildlife to exist (not fenced off)

Doesn't understand why San Diego is so far behind in building carpool lanes. Is Concerned with the exit on 70th and Lake Murray Blvd. When the Trolley came through the traffic was redirected. Currently, to take 70th, you need to be in the center lane. On a weekly basis, is cut off by people in the inner lanes trying to scoot out. The cities of La Mesa and San Diego will not enforce anything. Has talked to Caltrans who acknowledge the intersection is a mess but offer no solutions. The highway patrol has redirected her to the cities of La Mesa and San Diego. No one wants to take responsibility for this intersection, and it is very dangerous. How do I get someone to do something about this? Looks forward to email. 26-Jan North County Inland Toby Brown Not As the sport of mountain biking grows, it appears San Diego is not keeping up with & East County provided. providing more trails for mountain bikes. There are plenty of volunteers in the area who would love to help make trails specifically for mountain bikes. These trails differ from multi-use trails because the mountain biking is done at a higher speed than horseback riding and hiking and they should be separate. Would like to see an increase in development of mountain bike trails in the open-space areas we have. Mountain bikers are generally good conservationists who don’t want to hurt the area. 26-Jan North County Inland Gloria Warren Valley Thanks for the opportunity to make a comment. Lives in Valley center and has & East County Center longed for years that there would be a light rail system that started in North County Fair that would travel to Fashion Valley and downtown. One of the projects that's been completed (or in the process) sounds inadequate. It'd be great to hop on the rail and be in Fashion Valley in ten minutes. This sort of project would be fantastic and would cut down on traffic. Has anything like that ever been considered? 26-Jan North County Inland Dan Cohen Alpine Is concerned with the firing range in Alpine. There is great potential for lead & East County poisoning from that facility into the Sweetwater reservoir. The facility is improperly permitted; there's been no EPA study; it is in the direct flightpath of Lindbergh Field; heavy caliber weapons are fired at all hours of the day or night; the county has no standards for the firing range; the county has refused to perform code enforcement; there are 18 holes within a .5 mile of direct line of sight; there are 400 homes within 3 miles of direct line of fire. This firing range is a significant fire hazard for the East County. Would like to know what SANDAG can do to mitigate this issue. 26-Jan North County Inland Enilda Gentry Santee Do you have any future plans to extend bus hours in the evening for buses to go & East County from the transit center to Prospect & Magnolia?

Is & East County concerned with the drilling of 24 new wells in a drought; habitat conservation; the endangered species; the entrance on a tiny pine hills road on the 78 instead of on the 78 highway -- who's paying for all this road construction that's going to be needed to alter that? 26-Jan North County Inland John Kruger La Mesa The problem with the 52 and the 8 is that there's no way to relieve pressure if & East County there's a blockage. One possible solution would be to have Tierra Santa Blvd or Clairemont Mesa Blvd go through to Jackson. Installing a bridge would disturb very little of the habitat there and relieve a great deal of pressure from the freeways. Also, the Regents Road needs to go through to take pressures off of Genesee and the 5 along that way. Is there anything in the works that might work with this? 26-Jan North County Inland Tina Robinson Rancho Is there any effort being put towards synchronizing signals in the county?

There is not much publicity & East County through San Marcos about the Discovery Road expansion that's supposed to expand to four lanes. The discussions are not adequate showing the plans. How is this project going to impact the church and the grade school? The Escondido creek flows right along there. It's concerning because it's polluted. This water dumps into Lake San Marcos.

There are hundreds of cars parked on the highway. Add Santa Maria Creek Greenway and the old survey 97 to SANDAG's lists of open space and non-motorized trails. Thank you for doing this, this is a great opportunity. 26-Jan North County Inland Kathryn Encinas Ramona Do you really think widening highway 67 will do anything good? Widening it all the & East County way to Dye Road, and then all that traffic gets doglegged into two lanes again. It's not feasible for Ramona to have to handle any more traffic. Furthermore, when you widen 67, if it gets done, I hope you do it on the South side. The land can be scrapped away and it won't affect the present lanes for very long. The oak trees on the North of 67 are over 2000 years old. You cannot replace a tree that is that old. They were on the Earth when Christ walked. It doesn't make sense to me why anyone would want to disrupt our sleepy little town. 26-Jan North County Inland Larry Latocki East County Thank you for the forum. SANDAG has done a great job with bike projects on the & East County coast and in the city, but we've been neglected in the East County. There is no safe route to ride from East County into San Diego.

We're on the South edge of SR 94, just West of the Sweetwater Springs Blvd exit.

With the new Casino coming to Jamul, I suspect the traffic will only get worse. Can someone contact me about considering a review? I have a sound meter in my backyard from Caltrans that shows elevated sounds levels. 26-Jan North County Inland Tom Clark Escondido I have a complaint regarding the Bear Valley widening project.

184 Date Town Hall Caller Name Residence Comment Received Subregion 27-Jan Central San Diego & Bill Miller Chula Vista I was wondering if the 125, which is currently a toll road, if they would ever consider South County buying that out so that it could not be a toll road because the 805 is very congested and that would help Eastlake folks not have to go over the 805 if they didn’t want to pay a toll. And secondly, how would I keep track of the latest SANDAG announcements. I'm especially interested in when the Palomar Bridge will be completed. 27-Jan Central San Diego & Chuck Shcrader Chula Vista I'm disappointed that my question was not asked on their forum. Is anyone there? South County 27-Jan Central San Diego & Greg Aarons Talmadge My question was about bike safety. I live in the Talmadge/Kensington area and was South County hit in 2005 by a car on Fairmount and just a couple of years ago someone was killed in the Montezuma/Fairmont area and I believe that if there were safer alternatives and safer bike paths, separated bike paths. Can we do something like that to improve the safety and enhance bike commuting. My other question is whether when SANDAG is thinking about the costs of these projects, do you also consider the offset? So for example, if more people are walking and bike commuting, there will be an impact on health of the city that may help offset at least in a cost-effectiveness perspective some of those. 27-Jan Central San Diego & Dell San Jose Paradise I had a question about the street repaving in our area, it's really bad. Our streets South County Hills haven't been repaved in 20 years, so I was wondering if there is a plan to repave the streets or if any action is out there in the future for our area and the vicinity of our neighborhood. 27-Jan Central San Diego & Don It was shame that the questions with only the prepared responses were answered. I South County think you guys can do better next time. 27-Jan Central San Diego & Dorothy San Diego My concern is the paving of alleys and particularly the one by my house where I have South County Vadnais to park and where many have to park and live on the alleys. It is the alley between Kansas St and Utah and Madison and Adams. It is just awful to go down that street and I've noticed that the 4600 block...(phone line cut off). 27-Jan Central San Diego & Frank Saragoza South Bay My question is about the pot holes. Because of this weather, I look at the South Bay South County and the roads all over. They did some work on Palm Ave, but there are other places along Palm and side streets that are just vicious with pot holes and of course those do damage to your car and all they do is get worse. And also another comment is the road Byer Blvd, where it crosses Main St and turns into Chula Vista where it's Broadway, there's a two lane road and it's been like that for ages and they finally expanded out to make this thing a 4 lane road. I was just curious that the contractors that did the work, I guess they were trying to do a good job, but where it met the bridge, there's a big dip there. I don't understand, doesn't anyone do quality control? Like drive over the bridge before they sign off on the contractors? Who signs off on that? And who do we tell if the job wasn't done right?

185 Date Town Hall Caller Name Residence Comment Received Subregion 27-Jan Central San Diego & Hasmin Fafra Near SDSU I'm calling about the youth opportunity pass. I think this is a really important South County investment and the youth opportunity pass is a no-cost bus pass for students in San Diego and it has run a pilot program through Mid-City and has yielded amazing results and has really impacted a lot of lives and I want to make sure that the YOP's are included in the new initiative that SANDAG is considering. If you have questions about these passes please contact me. 27-Jan Central San Diego & Dione Carlson North Park I just want to encourage you all to really look at implementing Circulate San Diego's South County Vision Zero, which means not implementing any further not complete street projects. My prime example is always the Park Blvd segment of the Mid City Rapid Bus project in San Diego, which shouldn't have gone down that section. Both planning boards on each side, both Uptown and North Park opposed that segment. Not the Rapid bus, or the concept of the Rapid bus, but that particular segment because it bifurcates our two communities. And of course that segment is now creating a terrible obstacle to the connectivity for the regional bike plan. So here we are trying to implement these fabulous bike plans and I am very encouraging of what you're doing with putting in local complete street infrastructure because those bike infrastructure projects also mean pedestrian infrastructure in the mid-city. So they more people we get walking and biking, the more people we get out of cars. All of that is kind of outlined in Circulate San Diego's Vision Zero so I'd really like to encourage you all to take a look at that. The other question that I have for you is that SANDAG, when you implement a project what your process is for after its done? Evaluating it and going, how well did this work? If we had listened to public input in this area or in that area, would this have been designed differently or had a different or improved outcome? And again this goes to my frustration in attending lots of meetings with SANDAG projects and having given planning group input on projects that have been ignored and then finding everything that we said was going to be a problem, is a problem and again, Park Blvd and Mid City Rapid, are prime examples. I hope that you will do what private sector businesses do, which is after a project is done, and take a look at it and go how successful are we? And actually put out some stats. More information, is what we the public would like and particularly the local planning board level. That data should be available before and after. It's very difficult to sell the public on anything new or innovative because it's very hard to find the statistics on that. So having data and traffic studies available before and after the project was implemented is very helpful. My last question for you is about the smart vehicles, or the self-driving cars. I was very interested in the woman that asked that question. That's something that I think is coming down the pipes super quickly and I hope you are thinking about it but I also want you to encourage you not to be too early of an adopter for some of these new technologies because they're going to be changing so quickly and if you're going to be investing our tax dollars, think about marginality when it comes to the investment of our scarce tax dollars. Just some examples are with our traffic lights, some of the things that you

186 Date Town Hall Caller Name Residence Comment Received Subregion have not been able to do at intersections are because there wasn't sufficient capacity to make them as multifunctioning as needed. I just want you consider regularity as a concept so that even on the freeways and the HOV lanes where you're looking at implementing self-drive vehicles that you think about how easy it will be to pull out and change that technology. I am seeing really good improvements in SANDAG and I'm encouraged by the new young SANDAG that's coming out to our communities to get our input and I hope you continue to do so. 27-Jan Central San Diego & Jacqueline I would like to make sure that as you develop public transportation and expand South County Jackson infrastructure that you please keep blind, vision-impaired and other people with disabilities in mind as you develop your plans. And please include us in the planning committees. 27-Jan Central San Diego & Robert Riddle South San What is the police force going to do about all these people that do not stop at the South County Diego stop signs and yield signs. I've almost gotten run over several times by waiting and trying to go and somebody runs and almost hits me. 27-Jan Central San Diego & John Sturm North Park Parking is so incredibly hard in the urban areas of North Park and we have an ability South County to have more spaces if we just did some diagonal parking or even painted lines so people knew where to park and not take up the middle of two spaces, so that's become a real issue as we build up and grow out. Question number 2 is: We have all the Trolley extensions and we're working on the new ones and we talked about the blue line that comes up from San Ysidro to Downtown and my question is why does the COASTER cost so much more than the Trolley, especially for the distance traveled. San Ysidro to Downtown is maybe 20 minutes and I know it's a lot longer from Oceanside to the Santa Fe Depot, but I wish it was a little more reasonable for San Diegans, especially for low-income and the disabled to be able to use that more. My third question would be towards how we're planning new lines to accommodate the low income people that are being forced to move out and pushed out further and further, there doesn't always seem to be the most available connections and new lines going in where new housing is going in. I hope there's communication with housing authority to make sure that we're thinking about that and making sure that especially the low income people are able to find housing in their price range and close to transportation cause I think that's really really important. 27-Jan Central San Diego & Kathleen Israel College area What I would like to suggest is with the properties that the trailer park is on in South County Mission Bay that they're getting rid of, I think it would be really good to have a campground out there and especially have a handi-cap group out there if we could have some campgrounds then the people of San Diego could really enjoy the San Diego bay in a really wonderful way. 27-Jan Central San Diego & Kathleen Bloom Webster Down the hill from where 47th street becomes Fairmont, is the senior park where I South County live. People who live in this park no longer drive and would use public transportation could they get up the hill to the bus stop. There's no sidewalk on the hill, it's rather steep. It's gravelly and slippery for many people to get up the hill to the bus stop. My thought was it would be very helpful if a bus could arrange to

187 Date Town Hall Caller Name Residence Comment Received Subregion come down to the office of Leisure Land or at some point at the gate so that the people who want to use the public transportation can. They can’t get to the busses or the Trolleys because many of them have canes or walkers or wheelchairs. 27-Jan Central San Diego & Lamees Downtown I have been a bus rider and a Trolley rider since I moved to San Diego since 1988 South County Monsueir because I don't own a car and I moved downtown because it's more convenient. My main concern is about the homeless community and the cleanliness downtown. It is shocking how dirty the streets downtown are and I have to really look where I'm walking. And also for pets, I know they put things up but sometimes that's not enough. And there's no bathrooms for the homeless so they end up peeing wherever they want and we have to smell it. So this is an issue. I don't know what the solution is, I have an idea regarding the homeless but I don't know if they'll listen to my problem. Homelessness and cleanliness are the problem here and somehow they are connected. 27-Jan Central San Diego & Lisa Hurley Hillcrest There were discussions about development of sidewalks and stuff, but I also wanted South County to know, and I'm not sure if this is related or not, but one of the major problems is that housing developers are not required to have parking spots and parking has become horrible in my neighborhood and continues to get worse. I've already gone to city council about this and feel like I have been ignored. I would like to know what's being done about this. I live on the side of hillcrest close to North Park deliberately because I didn't want to be one of those places that nobody wanted to visit because of parking and now it has become that and they're still putting in more buildings. 27-Jan Central San Diego & Luvone Harrms Morley My problem is that we need sidewalks and I strongly object to the proposal I South County Field, received last Wednesday about taking 2 lanes from Pershing, which is actually the Pershing only real quarter from 5 through our whole area and making bike lanes out of it. It Drive works now, we're going backwards and spending lots of money and mess it up so it won't work or be sufficient. It'll be another University Ave. I'm not happy with the proposal, it just seems like a step backwards. 27-Jan Central San Diego & Marcel Brisk Mission Hills I had the misfortune of actually ending up in the hospital a couple years ago due to South County a trip and fall on a broken-up sidewalk. The city is ripe with broken up sidewalks, and there are still pot holes all over the place, bad patch jobs to attempt to fix them and lots of streets that need resurfacing. I've got broken sidewalk in front of my house. I think these maintenance issues have been deferred for such a long time that that should be a larger priority than building new Trolleys or another off ramp to a freeway, which would make very little difference, frankly, in the overall picture. A much smaller amount of money would go a lot further in fixing our infrastructure. I noticed we have a lot of water and sewer issues due to the old piping in the area and I regularly have a lot of trucks from the water and sewer dept. in the neighborhood on a regular basis and there have been a lot of issues of water flooding and broken pipes. I think therefore that more attention should be paid to infrastructure and less to the snazzy, sexy things like driver-less cars and bikes and

188 Date Town Hall Caller Name Residence Comment Received Subregion roadways, all which are nice, but the basic structure itself without which you have nothing, is the most important thing. 27-Jan Central San Diego & Marion Scire Coronado I would like to know what is being done to alleviate traffic on the Coronado Bridge South County to North Island of the base. 27-Jan Central San Diego & Mark Lima Mission Hills I would want to encourage every project that SANDAG takes on to have a school South County education related component. I think the San Diego school districts would happily work with you to provide some career pathways for students, especially in the less affluent neighborhoods where kids need to learn real job skills. This could not only be physical construction work, but also planning and math, how to build a road or construction techniques, understanding how meetings are run and how decisions are made. All of this is very important information and high school students would be very motivated to get in on this, especially those in the poorer neighborhoods, where opportunities like this can open their eyes to constructive participation in the community and where they can fit in. I think this is an 27-Jan Central San Diego & Mike Clark Chula Vista The bottleneck down here at I-805 and Orange Ave is terrible and needs immediate South County address. It's just terrible down here. Major impact and poor quality of life for many people. 27-Jan Central San Diego & Pat Lemon My question has to do with consideration for accessibility on all the forms of public South County Grove transportation, and not just for seniors or the disabled, but also families who are pushing strollers, people carrying groceries and packages. I've often seen them struggle enormously on both the Trolley and the bus to get on and be on the bus safely before the driver starts the vehicle. I am also very concerned about safety on the sidewalks because the sidewalks are in deplorable condition, especially in the residential areas, and not only are the sidewalks themselves dangerous with trip hazards and elevations where roots have grown up and so on, but they are also dark. Illumination after sunset is very poor and if you want people to do more walking in residential neighborhoods then some consideration needs to be given to illuminating sidewalks. Thank you for this Town Hall forum it was very interesting to participate by phone. 27-Jan Central San Diego & Paul Friedl Coronado I have listened to the entire broadcast and there was not one mention of the US South County Navy. Who is San Diego's largest employer? Guess what, it's the US Navy. Why can't we get joint cooperative programs with the US Navy to solve some problems for all San Diego. I know of one suggestion, for example, that would eliminate 95% of all military commute traffic to places like Coronado and Point Loma. I know this. We have to get the Navy to work with us for better quality of life for not only San Diegan citizens but San Diego military personnel. The answer is there, but nobody wants to work together. I can't imagine that. That seems to be the #1 priority. A much greater priority than adding cement to all of our freeways. Let's work on cooperation. Why doesn't the federal government with the navy help themselves and the citizens of San Diego.

If not, I would like to suggest we build a park there or an area where people can stroll through to 3 streets. / I have a question about the Rapid transit corridor that goes from Palomar to the north 805. Can you please explain to me how this is going to increase commuter times versus a regular bus. What's special about this bus that’s going to make it faster than regular bus? 27-Jan Central San Diego & Veronica North Park I have a 2 part question. North Park has grown so quickly in such a short amount of South County time and we do have the public transportation revamping project going on and while it offers great benefits, I also fear that the damage it's going to be causing to our local streets. I wanted to know if the budget is also allocating any dollars for the maintenance of our roads once the transportation is up and running. The second question is that 805 carpool lanes doesn't offer any exit opportunities and we do have a double solid white lines. I looked up on the dmv.gov website and didn't see where we were able to legally exit without risking a citation so I want to see how that is being handled as well. 27-Jan Central San Diego & Shannon Davis Imperial My concern has to do with wildlife. We have 3 million people and mass South County Beach transportation which gets in the way with our open space connectivity from one place to another. For instance, Sorrento Valley Road, which I was apart in saving that. We got trackers out and found endangered species that were right there on the road and so the city of San Diego set aside that Sorrento Valley Road as a bike path and a hiking trail instead of widening to 5. Another part of that is that deer are still going from the estuaries to Torrey Pines and there are areas like that all over San Diego. All of these connected areas need wildlife pathways and in some other cities, they're making grassed bridges that go over the freeways. Have you ever considered something like that? We have a lot of beautiful areas that we do set aside for wildlife, and we have more endangered species here in San Diego than we do anywhere else in the state and I think it's an area of concern. Instead of having a lot of roadkill, let's give them an area to connect one side to the other. My second question is that on the Bayshore Bike path, and if we run out of muster and have an electric bike, can we finish out the rest of our ride on the electric part? In your dealings with Sempra, so much future expansion is planned by that public utility and often it is along scenic highways and freeways and I'm concerned about that because it's an eyesore and the infrastructure could possibly be buried or tunneled, so that's something to consider. In America, we don't have concern for it like they do in Europe, but they do recognize radiation causing cancer in Europe.

We need a bus that goes to the end of the point both on Rosecrans and on Catalina so I would like more frequent and improved bus service/coverage to the area. I also feel like there should be a bus connection to the airport from Point Loma and other places. I think money should be spent on the public transportation rather than the freeways because if there were more people that could ride the bus, the freeways would be less crowded.

Date Town Hall Caller Name Residence Comment Received Subregion 28-Jan North County Amy Bettinger Oceanside I heard a lot of things about roads and nothing about what my need was. I'm sorry I Coastal & North didn't get on. San Diego 28-Jan North County Andy Anson Carlsbad I have a question about the lagoon and a statement to make about it also. The Coastal & North question is what you are leaning towards in leaving it an open to the ocean. My San Diego statement is that I think you should be regulated by the state to keep it to be a freshwater lagoon so that the migrating birds will have a coastline to use going south or north. It's been a bird sanctuary since the 1940s and I think if we open it to the ocean, what good is that for the animals? Opening it to the ocean would eliminate a lot of that in there. I think it's very important to keep it a bird sanctuary in particular. I know it's an animal and ecological preserve now. In the old days there were a 1,000 birds or so going through here and now it's less than half. They're not allowing us to maintain it as they would before. I feel that there needs to be more research to see what you can do. 28-Jan North County Anne Clark Carmel My concern are these carpool lanes. I'm not sure I'm a believer that these people are Coastal & North Valley actually carpooling. I think it's just that some people just happen to have more than San Diego 1 person in my car, but it's not as though they would have been taking a car of their own so I'm extremely concerned about the Carroll Canyon exit. It seems to go very unused, and I think if more people were allowed to use it, we would be able to relieve congestion on Sorrento Valley Road and Mira Mesa Blvd. My biggest concern is that they're going to put that same type of carpool lanes enter and exit at Manchester Road and I just think that if you're going to spend so much money on such an elaborate enter and exit on the freeway that more people should be able to use it. I don't think we're a city or state that really can carpool. Are we required by

191 Date Town Hall Caller Name Residence Comment Received Subregion the state to have these carpool lanes or do we know if they're really encouraging people to share rides or are they being used haphazardly when you go somewhere with someone because you want to? 28-Jan North County April Marinelli Oceanside I have a question about the homes being built in Oceanside off of college. How are Coastal & North they going to be able to enter the freeway on the 78 without clogging the San Diego neighborhood? North Avenue is extremely busy right now and there are lots of accidents on this road as well where they're going to fast so I'm wondering if there will be easy access to the freeway. 28-Jan North County Arlene Oceanside Thank you and please continue to get motorists out of our cars. Does SANDAG Coastal & North Hammerschmidt support an I-5/78 interchange that not only improves the quality of the Buena Vista San Diego lagoon and also decrease the number of mosquitos and maintain the views from inland towards the ocean. In other words, not a towering monstrosity that Cal Trans seems to love to generate. We don't want that in Oceanside and I hope that SANDAG can exert some force and come up with something that will work for everyone. Specific response would be appreciated. 28-Jan North County Art Mission The roads, infrastructures and potholes in Mission Beach are absolutely terrible in Coastal & North Beach the city and other county areas. You can't drive more than a quarter mile without San Diego hitting some sort of pothole or ding in the road and we have been told time and time again that the roads are going to be worked on and there has been little or nothing done. Also relative to the city where I live, the seawall at mission beach is the worst I have ever seen. It is terrible. Right in front of Belmont Park that portion of the seawall has been taken down, but just sitting for 6-8 months now and no work has been done. They also said that they were going to replace the entire seawall from the jetty to the south all the way up past the pier past pacific beach. If you still want tourists here, you need to fix the seawall and the boardwalk where people can enjoy themselves. 28-Jan North County Beatrice Nelson Oceanside The state reviewed and approved prospective housing developments in regard to the Coastal & North impact on traffic. In the community where I live, in a senior mobile home with close San Diego to 500 residents, which dumps out onto very narrow Academy Road, and they estimate this housing project will dump 5,000 cars onto our road and eventually onto mission Avenue just before it goes under the bridge where 76 goes across mission Avenue At that point it narrows down to two lanes, and they said they would widen the road by taking down the buttresses there. How can the city say they're going to accommodate these 5,000 extra cars by cutting off a part of the bridge support. I don't have an email address but I would like to know who I can get in contact with to get this issue resolved. Environmental reports have been ignored by the city of Oceanside and it directly impacts my senior community.

201 Attachment 1e Email and Fax Comments

Date Name City Comment Received Walt Brewer Not provided 1/16/2016 With reference to SANDAG's January 22 request for comment about future transportation priorities, please see the suggestions that follow. They recommend SANDAG initiate immediately a shift to new demonstrated technology that will provide on-demand personal direct to destination travel. A pragmatic approach for getting started is outlined. There is probably less need for sales tax increase than if SD Forward were fully implemented. There will be a brief entry in the survey. But felt more rational would be useful.

Thank you for this opportunity. Walt Brewer

New Priorities. Urban transportation activities for more than 30 years confirm that the public overwhelmingly prefers service that is on-demand, personal, same vehicle rapidly direct to real destinations, time saving for both personal and business travel. Automobiles have been, and are planned to be the major supplier supplemented with some human-propelled vehicles and walking where densities and facilities permit. However increasing acceptance of call-up autos, including driver, (Uber, Lyft, etc.), presents choices to users of privately owned autos, and modifies the current role of mass transit. Importantly now it can give non-driver, (frequently low income) travelers equal quality of the preferred travel service. On-Call will become Regional Public Transportation. When capacity beyond road capability occurs, narrow electrified, (Automated Transit Network), guide way service will be available.

During pragmatic introduction, performance of new features, doorstep trip origin, parking reductions, daily ride pooling, etc., along with traveler interactions can be observed. Adjustments including emphasis on low energy and emissions vehicles, already becoming available, can be made. Near future decisions about use of Self Driving Vehicles will be needed.

Currently, plans would attempt to correct deficient access to Public Transportation with an expensive, highly subsidized mass transit overlay. On-call's doorstep, or other designated point of origin, eliminates that issue. And users are already in the on-call vehicle going directly to the desired destination. Thus this on-call initial service area would be to eliminate poor access to conventional mass transit.

Specifics for a first priority project thus become: After identifying the service area, through competitive bidding, select an experienced

202 Date Name City Comment Received contractor to supply specified service, provide activity records, etc, etc. Over at least a 5 year contract period, work with contractor to reduce costs, and environmental impacts. Assess impact and timing for Autonomous Vehicles. Initially at least, support fares comparable with other Public Transportation from funds already planned for that area's subsidy. In dense areas, relieve travel congestion with ATN narrow automated guideways and compatible vehicles.

Access issues are solved earlier than the planned extensive facilities can be built. GPS reduction schedules might need modification. Collect findings and results of experience for use in the conversion of additional on-call service areas.

This change might seem radical to some. But its new technology stays within necessary bounds SANDAG has emphasized to be in use and available. Federal funds are likely, considering U.S. DOT interest in Self Driving Cars. The pragmatic step by step approach allows improvements and corrections along the way to full implementation. Autonomous vehicles roles are likely to increase generally, but this approach remains beneficial if they are not appropriate. Although at some development densities desired, the ATN guideways instead of roads will enable meeting travel demands.

Recently a Presidential candidate said Government policy will have to catch up with technology. Here is a chance for San Diego to lead with a bite size piece. Dr. Kyra Greene, on 1/22/2016 Director Gallegos: On behalf of over 150,000 San Diego County residents and 20 behalf of the Quality of organizations including environmental, social justice, labor union, climate action, affordable Life Coalition housing and transit advocates, we submit the attached proposal for consideration as the basis for the sales tax ballot measure currently under discussion at SANDAG.After months of collaboration and discussion, our Quality of Life coalition has unified around the attached vision. We call on SANDAG to develop a ballot measure aligned with these priorities. Our goal is a ballot measure that invests public money in a socially and environmentally equitable manner (based on need). We believe this measure is an opportunity to invest in building a vibrant, inclusive economy that lifts up families, creates healthier communities and addresses climate change.Our vision benefits residents throughout the county, positions San Diego communities to leverage state and federal funds and accelerates regional efforts to reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change, a state requirement and necessity.We request our Vision statement be included in upcoming Board and Committee meeting documents, including the Transportation and Regional Planning Committee meetings on February 5th. We welcome the opportunity to dialogue with you and SANDAG leadership about this proposal.

203 Date Name City Comment Received Fred Puhn National City 1/26/2016 Thank you for the public comment telephone meeting today. It was too short to discuss very much about priorities. Here are my priorities that were not discussed, taking into account the oft mentioned cost. (1) I would use the trolley if it had bathrooms on the train or at the stops. I asked this during the telecom and Mr. Roberts said they tried some and later took them out because of graffiti cost. Rather than a luxury bathroom how about using a simple primitive outhouse style system such as the one used in the Kimball park in National City? There are paints and Silicone spray that graffiti paint does not stick to. Another low cost system is to have pay toilets. Another idea is to rent plastic toilets and have them replaced when full. I am an elderly man and suffer from the common health problem of BPH. A great number of elderly men have this same disability. I just don’t use the trolley. (2) I would use the bus if it was somewhat user friendly. The bus stops should all have a simple weatherproof card showing the following information as a minimum: Fares, route descriptions with maps, times of operation, time between busses at this stop, expected schedule for arrival at each stop. Also there should be a place for a person to sit and a simple cover to provide weather protection. Also the bus driver should be able to make change or a change machine should be provided at each stop. Also modern technology should allow the person waiting to know exactly when the next bus will arrive. (3) A very low cost immediate change to expand the freeways is to allow every car to use the HOV lane. All the drivers pay for the road, so why can’t they use it? This change would reduce air pollution and greenhouse emissions because there would be fewer traffic jams. Also it would avoid the costs of fighting the rumored citizens’ initiative to allow all taxpayer funded lanes to be used by all. (4) A very efficient way to keep traffic moving on main roads is to synchronize the timing of traffic lights to match the local speed limit. This is not high tech. They had this timing 60 years ago when I started driving all along El Cajon Blvd. (5) Another way to keep traffic flowing and reduce air pollution is to use traffic circles (roundabouts) instead of traffic signals and stop signs. We already have a few but there should be many more. This system works very well in other countries such as England. (6) Recent changes to the roads in National City and other areas have reduced the number of driving lanes in the city by 50 percent. How does this help reduce traffic congestion? The money used for these counterproductive changes should be spent for improvements such as mentioned above. Making roads smaller should be approved by a vote of the people. Everyone I have talked to hates the new changes. (7) Busses stopping in the city often block traffic because there is not enough room for the huge bus to pull off. Each bus stop should be studied and modified where required to allow traffic to flow past the parked bus. This may involve moving the stop locations, buying small amounts of land, or modifying sidewalks. (8) Habitat conservation, water quality improvement and other similar projects are not part of improving transit. If you want these items vote on a separate tax increase and don’t call it transit. (9) Building more freeway lanes, fixing potholes, routing trolleys to the zoo and airport, integrating different types of transit are major priorities that were discussed in the telecom.

204 Date Name City Comment Received Doug Fiske Encinitas 1/28/2016 Please forward this post to Gary Gallegos. Mr. Gallegos, During tonight's phone town hall, I asked the question about reallocating the $6.5 billion SANDAG plans to spend in the North Coast transportation corridor between 2015 and 2040.The split is now $5.68 billion for the I- 5 freeway and only $820 million for the rail corridor. Those figures are from SANDAG's website and printed literature.My suggestion is to reallocate the funds to allow trenching the tracks through the entire North County coast. Solana Beach has done that with great success. Carlsbad is studying trenching the tracks between the Buena Vista and Agua Hedionda lagoons. Their projection is that leaving the rails at grade when doubling them will depress sales, property and transient occupancy tax revenues. Trenching when doubling will increase those revenues, meaning trenching will eventually pay for itself. Those tax facts also apply to Encinitas.On average, there is one death by train per year in Encinitas alone. There are four grade crossings in the city. The current 50 trains a day create traffic jams at those crossings. The trains are extremely intrusive, noisy and dusty. When the tracks are doubled, the rail traffic will double, as will the big problems the at-grade trains cause.Doubling the tracks without trenching them at the same time would be extremely shortsighted. The benefits of trenching when doubling would be forever.SANDAG must adopt policies and plans that greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Getting a few more people to ride bikes, walk or carpool won't have a measurable effect. Moving the transportation focus from roads to rails through the North Coast corridor would have a huge GHG reduction effect while solving several other growing problems.

Doug Fiske Encinitas Flores Bishop Not provided 1/31/2016 Could not be accommodated in the on-line survey. Please design the comment section to cut off at 500 characters - I was waiting for the cut off, as I was adding! (1) Campaign "Park Once and Walk" to encourage people to walk within reasonable distances, even if it includes crossing a street. Encourage all-ways stopped signal lights to give pedestrians a head start in crossing streets, especially the 6-8 lane variety. (2) The walkway from Linda Vista to Fashion Valley should be a beautiful, aesthetic "health" walkway with distance markers. (3) Plant more trees (and let them mature into the beautiful expression of nature that they are) to help soak up run-off. Notice how people and cars cluster under their shade, yet most park equipment and parking lots are open to withering sunlight. (4) Transportation that works for seniors is a high priority - otherwise, you're going to have a HUGE baby boomer population navigating the streets in their personal cars. (5) Check out integrated transportation in Salt Lake City - passes are good on trains, trolleys, and buses. For a little over $6, one can take the train from Ogden to Provom, about an hour's distance in each direction from SLC. (6) Up the center rail service, like in Chicago along the Dan Ryan Expressway, is needed for the 94. The City never solved the traffic problem for Petco Park; how in the world would they expect to accommodate a football stadium? (7) Keep the inner-city wild spaces! It's what adds to the charm of the area. Produce a pamphlet, as was done a couple decades ago, about how people can positively relate to wildlife. (8) Promote

205 Date Name City Comment Received urban (organic) agriculture through your plans as perfectly compatible with residential and essential to food security. (Note AB551 - Urban Agriculture Incentive Zones Act.) (9) Promote the over-the-5 park by the "s" curve. Not provided Not provided 2/2/2016 (1) Highways. (2) City projects; and (3) Water quality. "Share your idea." "Tell us about a specific project or program you'd like to see in the San Diego Region."(1) More freeways, not toll roads. One that runs parallel to I-5 and I-15. North of State Route 56, all the way to State Route 76 and beyond. (2) Light rail lines that connect all the border crossings. Also, Otay Mesa border crossing to Escondido Transit Center and beyond. (3) At least three more water desalinization plants, to meet our water needs. Places to store the water so that the water will not evaporate. (4) New housing to include solar panels reclaimed gray water systems for outside use, water tanks to capture rain water, and tankless water heaters. Doug Fiske (follow up Encinitas 2/3/2016 Trenching the tracks through the North Coast rail corridor would be a HUGE benefit and comment from 1/28/16) solve many big and ever-growing problems. Solana Beach found that out starting in 1995, and chances are the Carlsbad study will confirm what Solana already knows. Reallocation of the funds in required. Of the $6.5 billion SANDAG plans to spend by 2040 in the North Coast corridor, only $820 million is devoted to the rail right-of-way. Enough money has to be switched from the roads to the rails to pay for trenching when the tracks are doubled. To double the tracks and keep them at grade would be a damaging and extremely shortsighted decision.
