The new neighborhood growth blueprint would increase the area's population from 78,000 to 143,000 and break up car-centric superblocks.
With its new growth blueprint, the city proposes major changes to a community built when strip malls and suburban office parks were king, which was approved unanimously by the City Council on Monday, as a balanced effort that will help solve San Diego’s housing crisis and make Mira Mesa a more livable area.
The plan, the first update to Mira Mesa’s growth blueprint since 1992, would increase the neighborhood’s population from 78,000 to 143,000 primarily by adding 24,000 new homes, mostly in high-density developments. Councilmember Chris Cate, whose district includes Mira Mesa, said he’s optimistic city officials will follow through on promises to prioritize needed infrastructure in San Diego neighborhoods that are willing to accept the most growth.“Despite what some might say, Mira Mesa is a very vibrant and diverse community,” he said.
Cars zoom through a busy intersection on Mira Mesa Boulevard. Under Mira Mesa’s new neighborhood growth blueprint, some vehicle travel lanes on such major roadways would be transformed into lanes for buses or bikes. The plan identifies more than 91 lane miles of new bike lanes and routes. It also proposes more than 100 acres of new parkland, 17 miles of trails, two new recreation centers, one new aquatic complex and a new fire station.But critics note that locations aren’t identified for many of the new amenities and that land will only become scarcer over time, making available sites steadily harder to come by.
