Residents Oppose Road Linking Mission Valley to Serra Mesa
I am glad to see that the Reader and other news sources are picking up on an issue that is relevant to many San Diegans; namely the development of Mission Valley and the impact on the surrounding communities. At over 230 acres, the Civita project is nearly the same size as Balboa Park and with the addition of over 16,000 Civita residents will have a severe impact on the area. With access to the trolley lines and the untapped natural resource of the San Diego River, Mission Valley has a lot to offer. However, I would not describe Mission Valley as "flourishing" as stated in the article. MV is certainly bustling, and burgeoning, and maybe even thriving on some level. But with NO parks, NO schools, NO fire stations, and NO community events in Mission Valley, it can hardly be described as "flourishing". If Mission Valley continues to grow without responsible planning, twenty years from now I predict that "festering" will be the appropriate adjective to describe Mission Valley. Let's not let that happen San Diego; get involved and let your voice be heard.— February 1, 2012 10:27 p.m.
