RE: Comments
for Regional Transportation Plan, 2007
As an
individual / organization interested in mobility and transportation
issues, I would like to provide the following comments. (please
select as many as you like)
The current
draft 2007 RTP is in conflict with the rapid transit system
lane designation stipulated as mitigation for the I-15 project
in the 1993 MOU between the City of San Diego and the State
of California (at item # 21).
The RTP
and EIR need to address the express mitigations stipulated
in the 1985 MOA between the City of San Diego and Caltrans
to divert truck traffic to I-805 to the maximum extent feasible
and to address noise and air pollution impacts to Central
Elementary School (Items #7 and #9).
The proposed
Good Movements Action Plan (GMAP) and RTP are in conflict
with the mitigations stipulated in the 1985 MOA in that proposing
the HOV/.Managed Lanes flexible highway system designation
allows for truck use of the HOV/ML
The final
2007-RTP language must reflect that mitigations for SR 15
are outstanding and have the highest priority for achievement
before any improvement is done in this segment of the SR-15.
This project is identified in Table A.6 as the I-15 segment
that runs between the SR-94 and SR-163 as part of the Reasonably
Expected Revenue Scenario in Appendix A of the Draft 2007
RTP.
We must
insist that the previously described project be built by 2012
and not by 2020 as it is described in Table A.7 page A-19
in Appendix A of the Draft 2007 RTP.
The final
2007-RTP language must reflect that the previously described
project be considered as a highest priority project.
Bus routes
610 and 210 should be implemented by 2012 and not by 2020
and 2030 as described in Table A.8 in Appendix A of the Draft
2007 RTP.
Thank
you for the opportunity to comment in this important transportation
document.
Sincerely,
Your Name
