October 18th. Sustainable San Diego, a coalition of community groups and residents, issued a sharp criticism of the region’s long-term transportation plan and Sustainable Communities Strategy. In a press statement released yesterday, the group says, “the Regional Transportation Plan and accompanying Sustainable Communities Strategy set for adoption by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) on October 28th, is essentially more of the same policies which place street and road improvements ahead of investment in transit.” Click here to download Sustainable San Diego’s press release.
In addition, Housing California has expressed a number of concerns with the current plan, including the fact that the transportation needs of low-income communities have been overlooked. Download their statement here.
