Coastal Resiliency Master Plan
SEPTEMBER 9TH AGENDA ITEM
SAN DIEGO CITY COUNCIL
Pop Quiz? “What do you do if the City plans a big change in your neighborhood?”
Answer: Follow the instructions below
While we have been researching, learning, teaching, and agonizing over the changing landscape in our beach community, our city has been planning! Many of us attended the CRMP meetings, one in person, one virtual. Many times the Coastal Resiliency Master Plan, CRMP, has been served up as an item on the City Council agenda, only to be cancelled without explanation. On Sept 9th the San Diego City Council lists it as the last item on a heavy agenda day. Just try to talk to someone about the plan, and your concerns. Good Luck.
I encourage you all to write and submit your concerns. You could read the 91 page plan that was released recently. It is long and tedious, like all of the plans. Are there 50 citywide plans? I heard there are! The committee that put together this plan has convinced organizations to support it, partially because it is a real issue that needs a good action plan. I am going to submit a letter to voice my concerns and I will try to attend the meeting. (See my submission in prior post.) I suspect that the last item on the agenda will be cancelled. It seems to me that the very expensive CRMP is going to move forward. Hopefully there will be modifications and no secrets, like paving all the dirt alleys as a method to offer more egress. Already the poorly planned storm water runoff is contributing to erosion, and Sunset Cliffs Blvd is compromised. My biggest fear is that the project will cost billions, and will take a decade (if Friars Road is any indicator then we could be looking at not even a one way street for a long time.)
Here are the instructions to attend and/or submit.
