Specifically we want Map 35 removed from the project altogether. This is the area of Rose Creek between Garnet Avenue and Grand Avenue. We also want the earthen bottom section of Map 34 removed from the program as well. This is the area between Garnet Avenue and just below Mission Bay Drive. Both these areas are rich feeding grounds for birds such as Great Blue Heron, Snow Egret and Osprey. Furthermore, the area covered by Map 35 is a fish spawning area. Both areas have had extensive restoration work performed by The Nature School, The Friends of Rose Creek and the City of San Diego Environmental Services to name just a few of the groups/agencies who have been working to restore the creek in this area.

Additionally, the city has yet to address how a 20 year permit will allow the public and community groups such as the Friends of Rose Creek to have input into the process before work takes place. We much prefer this to the alternative which is to sue the city after they’ve wrecked the creek.  It’s cheaper for all concerned.  The City has yet to resolve this issue and we consider it a major show stopper.
