Re “San Diego to solicit bids for two Mission Bay Park properties” (March 6): The city once again is trying to displace the thriving businesses in the Dana Landing Marina along with most of the 80 boat slips. The city wants to put in another restaurant and reduce the number of slips to 17. Dana Landing currently provides residents and tourists with access to Mission Bay and much-needed boat slips. The Freedom Boat Club next door provides boat access for members from all over as well.
But the city is not considering the failing Marina Village site for renovation! Why?
The city tried to use the “surplus” land grab method earlier, but it required affordable housing. Please tell council members to oppose this proposal and not consider new bids. It is not beneficial for residents or visitors.
