Street/Road Repairs and Upgrades
Infrastructure is a priority for me, Mayor Gloria, and the City Council. 
City staff works daily, repairing and upgrading streets and roads throughout the city. One of those streets recently repaired is Limerick Avenue in Clairemont. I joined residents to speak about how the repairs and upgrades will change the quality of life for families and beautify the neighborhood. In an effort to continue to repair and upgrade streets and roads, Mayor Gloria allocated $293 million to fund critical infrastructure projects for FY23. The street repairs are part of the Mayor's "Sexy Streets" program, which includes 54 miles of streets and roads being repaired throughout the city. Here are some of the streets scheduled for repairs.
  • West Point Loma Boulevard
  • Lloyd Street
  • Wing Street
  • Kenyon Street
  • Paseo Del Verano Norte
  • Highland Valley Road
  • Ruffin Road
  • Bahama Cove
Additional funding is planned for the following projects in Council District 2:
  • $2.1 million to improve public access to the coast at Bermuda Avenue in Ocean Beach, 
  • $10.3 million to install or upgrade streetlights, and 
  • $4.8 million to repair sidewalks.
Repairs are expected to be complete by January 2024. For project information, follow the link: Road/Street Repairs.

Homelessness Solutions in District 2
Great things are accomplished when we work together, which is what has happened with the Rosecrans Shelter in the Midway District.

Last week, I joined Supervisor Nathan Fletcher, Mayor Todd Gloria, the Lucky Duck Foundation, and many others to mark the significant moment a few days before the shelter opened its doors on Monday, September 12, 2022.

The Rosecrans shelter will provide 150-beds, warm meals, showers, and wrap-around services to homeless individuals. The goal is long-term housing so that more of our unhoused neighbors can get the help they need. It is unsafe and inhumane to leave our neighbors on the streets.

The partnership with the County, City, and non-profit organizations make the Rosecrans Shelter possible. I also want to thank the Shelter workers who will do the hard work in helping our unhoused neighbors.

STRO City-Run License Lottery

After years of inaction on short-term rentals in the City of San Diego, I worked closely with community members and residents to find a solution. That solution included capping the number of whole-home rentals to 1% (5,400) of the city’s more than 540,000 housing units. Mission Beach has a long history of vacation rentals and therefore is limited to 30 percent of the community’s total dwelling units, or about 1,100. The City Council approved the Short Term Rental Ordinance (STRO) this past May.
Now, the city has just released its application process and important dates with the city-run lottery that will limit rental licenses to 6,500 for home vacation rentals in the City of San Diego.
The application for Rental licenses will open on Monday, October 03, 2022, with the application period for whole-home rentals closing on November 30, 2022. Under the new timetable, hosts who plan to rent their entire home for short-term stays more than 20 days out of the year will learn if they were chosen to get a license by December 16, 2022.
Rental hosts who use their homes as short-term rentals must have their licensing ready before May 01, 2023.

$68.5 million in State Funding

New infrastructure projects are in store for District 2.
Thanks to our State Legislation Delegation, nearly a billion in state funding is headed to the San Diego region including $68.5 million for the City of San Diego, and $9.5 million for District 2 projects. 
Thank you to our State legislators for securing state funding that will significantly benefit San Diegans.

  • $3 million for upgrades to the Olive Grove Community Park in Clairemont, and

Roe v. Wade Council Resolution
I am proud to have recently led a Council Resolution supporting the My Body, My Data Act. It's a show of solidarity with city, county, and federal agencies post-Roe v. Wade and a way to protect people's reproductive and sexual rights.
I want to thank Representative Sara Jacobs for sponsoring this critical legislation in Congress this past June and my Council colleague Marni von Wilpert for co-leading the Council's Resolution. 
The My Body, My Data Act will protect a person's personal data while they utilize online services such as:
  • apps, 
  • websites, and 
  • search engines about their reproductive or sexual health.
Currently, the privacy of one's medical information is collected through apps people use to track their menstrual cycles. This data can potentially be used to incriminate people who miss a period but are not pregnant. Some states have already passed laws that will accuse these people of being pregnant and having an abortion and arrest them on murder charges.
