Re “Bills heading to governor that shield Midway Rising” (Aug. 31): Sacramento’s end run around community input into the mega Midway Rising project means the developer can now avoid very uncomfortable questions about the severe impacts the development will create.
Chief among them are the severe traffic circulation impacts that will substantially worsen the daily gridlock that already occurs along Rosecrans and its tributaries with commuters seeking access to Pacific Coast Highway and both I-5 and I-8 during morning and evening rush hours.
The thousands of commuters seeking freeway access from Naval Base Point Loma along with those seeking access to the regional big boxes along Sports Arena Boulevard including those seeking access to and from Ocean Beach and coastal resources will be gridlocked by an already overburdened and underperforming circulation system.
When you’re stuck in traffic you’ll have plenty of time to remember who the champions of this boondoggle are — namely, Todd Gloria, Akilah Weber Pierson and billionaire Stan Kroenke.
