National City workshop invites residents to reimagine 57 acres of abandoned freeway
Civic leaders in National City and Southeast San Diego have been working with residents this summer to reimagine 57 acres of land that were once planned for a freeway. An unusually long Interstate-805 offramp bisecting the Southcrest neighborhood is all that remains of Highway 252, a project the state began planning in the 1960s but abandoned in the 1980s amid neighborhood opposition.

San Diego’s Bike Ridership Is Evolving, Not Declining. Here’s What SANDAG’s 2025 Commute Report Really Tells Us
Every year, I look forward to the San Diego Association of Government’s (SANDAG’s) State of the Commute report, mostly to see what’s happening with biking in San Diego.
