By the way, will it be a city-wide or county-wide vote? With the MV plan and the county putting money in there was talk it could be county-wide, but I'm guessing without the county chipping in it would only be on the ballot for residents of the city of San Diego |

Parsons Brinckerhoff / SANDAG did a good job with the Skyway feasibility report. Presumably the video came from them as well.
The controversial part of the alignment is going to be to what degree the cables into Balboa Park impact the view of the historic bridge that spans the canyon and Route 163. The end of the video shows the most southerly angle studied -- with a straight line from El Prado / Museums to an angled station at 6th and Elm Street. Such an alignment would do minimum violence to the bridge vista but would have the least commuter ridership, since not many people live near 6th and Elm as near 6th and Ivy. As the study makes clear, FAA surfaces are a factor, too, on placement of the angled station. It's a very interesting three-dimensional puzzle to work out. Another controversial part will be the gondolas passing in front of people's windows along 6th in the Gaslamp. On the whole, though, the Skyway's a great idea, especially in light of the hugely successful examples in Colombia and Venezuela where the Metrocable reinforces and branches off from rail transit to serve hillside neighborhoods. |

TJ Moving Up!

The owners of New City Medical Plaza envision a 26-story tower, with doctors offices, a medical lab, a surgery center, and an adjacent 140-room hotel. The idea is to provide a single location easily accessed by U.S. patients. They plan to be up-and-running within three years. Once completed, the facility would be part of a complex of high-rises near the San Ysidro Port of Entry, buildings visible to drivers on Interstate 5 heading into Tijuana. New City currently includes three residential towers, with two more planned, said Isaac Abadi, the 31-year-old Panamanian-born CEO of New City. http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/...ican-patients/ |
