We have a need for new and improved space downtown. “SANDAG has this need for a central brain, if you will, for our regional mobility system. “Our team here at the city, our real estate asset folks and others, will need to work with SANDAG to really figure out what we would accommodate here,” Mayor Todd Gloria told the Union-Tribune. The goal would be to secure a public-private partnership that results in a transit hub and new city offices alongside homes, shops and entertainment options. San Diego will contribute staff time and offer up for consideration its City Hall structures in furtherance of the downtown central mobility hub plan. Still, the agency has identified 10 blocks of city- and state-owned sites downtown as its preferred location for the central station. SANDAG is, however, still eyeing a central transit center to bring together bus, trolley and subway service, but the vision will take a back seat as it attempts to fast-track the airport people mover system. The decision comes, in part, as a response to an avalanche of feedback - or more than 1,000 comment letters - the Navy received to its draft environmental impact statement released in May 2021. The United States Department of the Navy said Wednesday that it will hold off on finalizing the environmental analysis of its Midway District site in favor of formally soliciting interest this fall from private developers who no longer have to worry about making room for a massive transit hub. Now they’re headed in separate directions.
