Major Blunders Under Todd Gloria’s Leadership: From 101 Ash Street to Infrastructure Neglect
Mayor Todd Gloria has presided over one fiasco after another.
- 101 Ash Street – The unwise lease
- 101 Ash Street – Purchase of an unusable building
- Neglected infrastructure. Potholes, 2 years to replace street lights.
- Neglected storm drains increased flood damage
- Dangerous head-on traffic in Mira Mesa. (see Bad Planning, Gold Coast Drive)
- Removed 300 parking spaces on Park Blvd, needed by park visitors
- Removed 300 parking spaces on Convoy Street, leading to serious parking shortages, and a drop of 10-30% in restaurant sales.
- Ordered bike lanes for 30th Street in North Park, ignoring a safer alternative. The net loss of 475 parking spaces on 25 blocks has created a disaster for many businesses.
