Call to Action:
Pride Plaza & Bikeways Delayed

The construction of Pride Plaza, Normal Street Promenade and the Eastern Hillcrest Bikeways has been held up!

SANDAG staff say that the Pride Plaza and Normal Street Promenade is not on hold.. but it is. Negotiations unrelated to construction are dragging on and every week they go on is more time that this project is delayed. We need to continue to put pressure on SANDAG leadership to break this deadlock and “release the construction bid package.” This is a pretty technical request but “releasing the bid package” will allow construction companies to bid on building the project and get things moving again.

Please email our reps on the SANDAG board and tell them to break the staff deadlock and release the construction bid package. Ask your friends, neighbors, and employees to send this email too!

Hi, I am writing to express my frustration with the current hold on the Pride Plaza and Eastern Hillcrest Bikeway Project. I strongly urge you to take immediate action to get these projects back on track by calling on SANDAG to release the bid package now.

These projects have been in the works for over a decade, with countless hours of community effort invested in their planning and development. The fact that they are now being blocked, despite being shovel-ready and fully funded, is deeply disappointing and frustrating.

It is unacceptable that these projects, which have been approved by the SANDAG Board and have had $6 million in community reinvestment allocated to them, are now being held up. SANDAG must release the bid package immediately so that construction can begin without further delay.

I implore you to stand with the Hillcrest community and demand that SANDAG take action to get these vital projects moving forward once again. The time for delays is over – we need your support to ensure that the Eastern Bikeway Project and the Normal Street Promenade become a reality.
