I am thrilled about the good news in this budget for the Fourth Council District. I’ve laid out my budget priorities for the upcoming fiscal year: Public Safety, Police and Fire recruitment and retention, and investment in neighborhoods and communities that have been historically underserved. As Vice Chair of the Public Safety and Livable Neighborhoods Committee, I know that we have work to do to ensure that our neighborhoods are safe and livable. This budget will fund the temporary fire station at Skyline at Sychar and a Fast Response Squad in Encanto. This will help to improve emergency response times that have been inadequate. If you’re having an emergency, you don’t want to wait unnecessarily for the aid of our first responders. In addition, the budget restores staffing to help maintain and repair our fleet. As Vice Chair of the Infrastructure Committee, I know that we need to address our aging and crumbling infrastructure. It is no secret that we need sidewalks in the Fourth District. This proposed budget will help with revitalizing our neighborhoods. Funding is also proposed for much-needed community plan updates. Each of you will have an opportunity to provide your input on the proposed budget. Public Hearings will begin the first week in May and I’ll include dates and times in next week’s update. I will continue to fight for our neighborhoods to have the basic necessities to help people thrive in this District. Paving Great Futures | Creating Jobs through Training and Education Paving Great Futures stopped by the Tubman-Chavez Community Center during my office hours. We are there from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. every Friday. I am excited about what they shared as their goals for this District. This organization is dedicated to creating jobs through training and education. They realized that they couldn’t keep asking for jobs that people weren’t giving them. They decided to create their own economy. The organization is having a mixer on Wednesday, April 23 rd from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. at the Jacobs Center.

The purpose of the Board is to empower an independent citizens group to assure the public that complaints against San Diego police officers are investigated thoroughly, completely and fairly. The Board also recommends and advocates for policies which promote fair and humane policing of the city.

Infrastructure Improvements | Holly Drive Improvements Project Groundbreaking Ceremony Councilmember Cole will be breaking ground on Wednesday, April 30th at 11:30 a.m. for this important
infrastructure project. The staging area will be at the corner of Holly Drive and Willie James Jones. Holly Drive is a two lane residential street in desperate need of infrastructure improvements. This project proposes to widen the roadway
to accommodate on-street parking on both sides of the street and install new curbs, sidewalks, new drainage improvements, trees and speed bumps to encourage drivers to slow down. An asphalt concrete overlay is proposed to
improve the driving surface. After the completion of the project, the roadway will meet current City standards for a
typical residential roadway with improved pedestrian access, reduced vehicular speeds, improved driving surface, and enhanced parkway with street trees. We are getting things done for you!
Utilities Undergrounding Program | Website: http://www.sandiego.gov/undergrounding/index.shtml Each year, the City of San Diego’s Utilities Undergrounding Program (UUP) relocates approximately 15 miles of
overhead utility lines. It will take time and coordination with San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) and the Public Utilities
Department to underground all the utilities throughout the City of San Diego. In the Fourth Council District, we currently have 3 UUP projects in construction: 1) Residential Project Block 4AA in Paradise Hills; 2) Residential Project
Block 4G in Lincoln Park; and 3) Residential Project Block 4Z in Paradise Hills North. We also have 3 projects in the design phase. To see when your area is scheduled for undergrounding or for general information about the City's
Utilities Undergrounding Program, please call the information line at (619) 533-3841.
Thank you Councilmember Cole
“I contacted your office on January 15th of this year for your assistance with requesting to have bus benches
or shelters installed in my neighborhood in Paradise Hills. I apologize for taking so long to thank you
Councilmember Cole for your support and for expediting the installation. Shortly after our emails, the benches
were placed on Parkside Drive. I can’t thank your office enough for facilitating the installation of the benches
and for providing my neighborhood with a much needed amenity.” – Cynthia Holder
