Pacific Beach Eco District
Parking and Transportation are an important component in the Pacific Beach Eco District. We will be reviewing the history of the Eco District and the principles as they relate to Parking and Traffic Management at the June Advisory Board Meeting.

I am unable to attend the April meeting and would like to register my concerns about the proposed parking plans.
ReplyDeleteI am very much opposed to imposition of parking meters and parking permits at the proposed locations. It would definitely discourage me from driving to the commercial district to shop or visit restaurants.
To see how parking meters change the beach community experience, visit any of the beach communities in Orange and Los Angeles Counties, or even Del Mar. There strictly enforced meters are the rule. They've made it difficult or impossible to shop or enjoy a leisurely meal at a restaurant without worrying about feeding the meters.
I'm also concerned about who would receive and administer any local revenue accruing from parking meters. If Discover PB is the designated recipient, they don't have a good record of investing in projects that benefit residents. Where is their financial accountability?
Thanks for taking the time to comment!
DeleteTo answer your question on the revenue, City Council Policy 100-18 governs how meter revenues could be used, if meters were installed. (http://docs.sandiego.gov/councilpolicies/cpd_100-18.pdf).
A portion goes to the City for administration and enforcement. Of the remaining revenues, the Community Parking District (*not* Discover PB) gets 45%.
Personally, I don't think the City should be getting so much of the revenue, but our ability as community members to change that is more limited.
The same council policy describes how any meter revenues can be spent. It's fairly broad, so that the community can decide how best to use the revenue to meet their particular needs, but spending needs to be at least somewhat related to parking/transportation management.
I agree meters would deter people from shopping, which bolsters the local economy. On the plus side it will definitely cut down the parking issue directly in front of my house for non-permitted cars, on the negative side it major medically decrease Revenue this summer for all the visitors that come and support local business. Anyone interested should attend!
