Event Summary:
 
Mark Kersey, Councilman of San Diego's 5th District, and Chair of the Council's standing Committee on Infrastructure
and 
Vice Chair of the Economic Development and Intergovernmental Relations Committee

 invites you to discuss the priorities for infrastructure spending.

 

Event Detail:

 

There are 20 categories of needs that describe infrastructure projects. Councilman Kersey is tackling these projects in a prioritized manner by seeking citizen input from all sectors. Infrastructure enables our quality of life and Mark is our point man at the City.  He wants to hear your ideas, questions and concerns.  

San Diego is blessed with one of the country's best climates, but underneath our feet we are crumbling.  25% of our roads are in poor condition, many of our water mains are breaking faster than we can replace them, and the City needs $600 million for storm water upgrades alone.  Neighborhoods need sidewalks, fire stations and recreation centers.  Then there's the stadium for the Chargers.  

 

We currently have a $1.7 billion backlog of infrastructure needs.  There's also a $2 billion unfunded mandate from the state of California for waste treatment.  With many needs and limited funds hard choices must be made. 

Have your voice heard by attending this special event!
