Not sure why the San Diego flyer shuttle is advertised for transit users when the rental car shuttle is faster and more frequent…

Fun fact: routes 8 and 992 have higher weekend ridership even though they have less service!

This probably has the biggest impact on the orange line?
[VICTORY ALERT] Governor Newsom has signed SB 79, which will make it legal to build multi-family housing near high quality transit!

If SANDAG had any foresight, they’d buy (part of) the Costa verde mall site asap. It’s their only way to build the UTC Coaster/Purple line station cut and cover instead of SEM tunneling. Cut and cover (probably) saves hundreds of millions, is faster, and ultimately leads to better station designs.

MTS staff are proposing a 2028 ballot measure rather than 2026 to allow for more time according to the 9/4 exec committee agenda. They will delay the fiscal cliff by shifting more capex funds to ops, raising fares, and other operational savings

There’s an interesting exhibit of old maps of San Diego in Geisel library at ucsd, it goes away this week if you’re interested! Downtown feels so much more connected to the city before freeways divided it

Cool to see the redevelopment, slight bummer that the direct connection to the executive dr trolley station will likely go away. The University community plan talks about extending the platform into a public plaza area, we’ll see what happens with that

The (new?) trolleys have some nice digital displays, but they only say “thank you for riding with us” at the moment

Was looking through the DEIR for midway rising and found that Kurtz Street is planned to have 13 ft wide lanes…
Take my hand as I guide you through San Diego's new (draft) Street Design Manual and what it does — or doesn't do — to build a safer, more sustainable and more livable city.
Been working on this one for a while, hope you enjoy! www.kpbs.org/news/public-...

What's in — and what's missing from — San Diego's new 'Street Design Manual'
The city's design standards on everything from crosswalks to medians to bike lanes haven't been overhauled in more than 20 years.

A bit disappointing and confusing that the second entrance/exit at ucsd central campus is emergency exit only. Would be convenient for bus transfers if it was always open

This process remains very silly, because the racetrack view dr portal has not been studied or mentioned until this graphic, and remaining on the bluffs is guaranteed to be rejected by the coastal commission and anyone who lives there
SANDAG staff proposes studying the following new alt alignments:
- along I-5 but exiting near the racetrack (previously exited in Solana beach)
- along crest canyon but with slower speed curves that keep it away from private property
- under Camino Del Mar
- reinforced double tracked bluffs

It seems like emergency vehicles already have signal priority at intersections, what’s holding us back from giving it to buses?

The first draft of the college area community plan update is out:
- most single family areas left untouched, upzoning mostly confined to arterials (but still up to 27000 new homes apparently)
- bus lanes on parts of ECB and college
- road diet and promenade along part of montezuma
- new bike lanes
