Item 8: (CIP)
$5 million so John can have Bike Lanes. Nobody else is going to use ‘em.
There’s less a Gap in the connectivity of lanes more than there is a Gap in the Ridership of lanes.
No to $1.8 million being Wasted on EV Chargers.
Smart Traffic Signals versus Broken ones that stay Red for both cars and pedestrians is a good investment.
Is there No investment in sidewalk repairs, or street lights, or trash cans? I Highly recommend making at least trash cans a Top priority. Street Lights would be a close second. All 3 are Safety issues.
The CDBG Bucks could be used to buy trash cans to help prevent Blight.
And as far as the Expensive Restrooms price – The Same issue was discussed in Lemon Grove, and unfortunately, that seems to be the cost of Doing Business – Pun intended.
