Plaza de Panama Planners Dispute Criticisms
Dave Rice, you would do the citizens of San Diego a great favor by printing the truth. SOHO's endorsed project is entirely based on the one already approved Master Plan for Balboa Park. It is called the Precise Lite Plan. Since you clearly did not even bother to contact SOHO to corroborate the misinformation you were given, you could have at least looked at the website. http://sohosandiego.org/main/plazasohosplan.htm Click on SOHO's alternative plan. At no point was the Quince Street project endorsed by SOHO. It was presented as an alternative--of which there are many. Alternatives are presented because the Sanders/Jacobs crew stated that there were no alternatives, yet more fiction by them. SOHO's Board of Directors has taken only one vote of endorsement. That is for the Precise Lite plan.— July 13, 2011 3 p.m.
Plaza de Panama Planners Dispute Criticisms
The so called Myth vs. Fact document by Mayor Sanders is nothing but pure unmitigated fiction. Here is the truth behind the blatantly misleading Sanders document. http://sohosandiego.org/main/plaza10myths.htm— July 13, 2011 2:30 p.m.
All in Favor of Balboa Park Preservation...
All the planners nailed it perfectly. But perhaps the comment I liked best came from Robert Barry. "I don't understand why they would bend over backwards to accommodate traffic while attempting to remove traffic in the plaza. It doesn't make sense." So much of the Jacobs plan doesn't make sense. Building a parking structure for over $32 million dollars for a net gain of only a couple hundred parking spaces. That's nonsense! Building a pay to park structure in the middle of free parking surrounding it. Nonsense! Making users of a handicap parking lot (Alcazar Garden lot) cross the busy traffic of both the by pass road, and valet parking drop off circle. Nonsense! That nonsense seems more familiar in places like a Mission Valley or any ordinary shopping Mall. NOT Balboa Park.— February 17, 2011 12:14 a.m.
