The proposed fencing, while a good idea, will not be a fix by itself given the persistence shown by members of the homeless community.
However, there is insufficient connection to COVID to use ARPA funds designated for COVID or directly related relief. I think, though, that interest from those funds can be used for this.

I think that a park at that unused location would be good.
Hope you're taking out 'Raising Canes.' Don't know whether the project will expand across the street, but it is junk food.

Paul Henkin
All good except the very last bullet point: "Support legislation and/or funding to improve broadband accessibility and affordability in Chula Vista." As we saw recently, the council is too reluctant to exercise its option to reject a broadband installation for health and safety reasons (that is, in a residential neighborhood within 350 feet of a childcare facility, next to houses and a church.) This bullet point should be removed or amended to add "consistent with health and safety."
I particularly like you removing "secure an exemption from the surplus lands act" for the Chula Vista University that has not been developed for 30 years. I feel that if there has been no real development of a University there for 30 years, the land should be surplussed for a more appropriate use, such as a homeless center.

9.1 Council Referral: Response on SR 125 Toll Road Briefing Request Attachments

2. Item 9.1 - SR-125 Feb2024 Final (SANDAG).pdf
Paul Henkin
Don't know whether a council referral by itself is good enough. I do not think that it is a substitute for a valid public hearing.
The SR 125 Tolls were charged incorrectly to at least 45,000 drivers.
This is not a huge number compared to the total, but what is so disturbing is that this happened over at least 5 or 6 years without the Board being notified. At least one payment went to the Golden Gate Bridge District. Moreover, the people at SANDAG want to use the same people who ran the broken system to patch it.
There was also a proposal made by one SANDAG Boardmember who has substantial computer expertise to not collect tolls for a year while the new fixes are thoroughly vetted. Makes sense but was apparently dropped from consideration.
In addition, I would like it to be explained why SANDAG needs so many contractors on this: HNTB ("owner's rep"); Kapsch system operator; ETAN system operator; Fagan Consulting; SANDAG auditor; Davis Farr outside auditor; and Deloitte/A to Be Toll Systems Consultant. With 2 system operators, 2 auditors and 2 consultants, is SANDAG looking for trouble? And why are we paying for all of these?
SANDAG has shown bad stewardship of this and other projects.
I heard something about a plan to pay off the debt from SANDAG buying the SR-125 toll road, which would probably involve either more taxes or raised tolls, or both.
That is why there should be a public hearing into this.
